Hostels in District of Columbia, United States

This youth hostel is very good. It is very close to the Capitol, the White House and other travel destinations. It takes 15-20 minutes to walk there. It is convenient to get in and out. The interior of the hostel is clean and tidy, and the hygienic conditions are good. If you want to go again in the future, you should still book here. Like 👍 Hygiene: good. Good environment. good service. Hygiene: good.

Had a fab time staying at this hostel. Met some great new people and enjoyed seeing the city together. Location is excellent to see downtown DC. I travelled in and out of Union Station on foot (40 min walk) and felt safe. My dorm was fine. Simple but comfy bunk, locker for my gear (bring a lock) and easy access to shared bathrooms. Wifi in my dorm was non-existent but it worked great in the reception and just sitting on the brownstone stoop outside. Communal breakfast was simple, fresh cooked choc chip pancakes and coffee (all I needed) and all the prep areas you need if you wanna fetch your own food (great cheap supermarket next door). Lots of nice people to chat to on the days I stayed. Nice outdoor terrace to eat too.

It's good, but the accommodation without an outlet near the bed is hairy and I saw it for the first time. It looks like a capsule bed, but it's actually a little bit of a carelessness. Good value for money

There is no breakfast, but there are quite a few meals downstairs and around. There are two bedrooms, a living room and a sofa bed, which should be able to live with a family. I didn't know the parking situation without driving. A few steps away is the White House, and the surrounding environment is very good. Would highly recommend to friends who want to go to Washington to play.

I wanted to love this place! If I were in my 20's, I'm sure I would have but now that im in my 40s and have gotten used to staying in ”real” hotels...this place just wasn't cutting it :-( It's in a beautiful building on the corner. Lots of restaurants that are walkable. The door to the building is always locked which is great. You need your key card to get in. Check-in was easy. FYI, everyone in your party that wants a key will need to provide ID. I booked Hotel room 305 (private 3rd floor walk-up). I knew going into it that it was going to be small and that it would require climbing a ladder to get up to 2 of the beds. I just wasn't quite prepared for just how small and just how steep the ladder would be! My 70 year old dad slept on the lower bed. My husband, my 9 year old son and I slept on the loft. Its VERY low up there! My poor husband (6ft) literally couldn't stand when he was up there! The ladder is a little scary. It only has a handle on both sides for the upper half and like I said its very steep so you really gotta heave yourself up there haha. It was super annoying if you had to use the bathroom during the night. It was like sleeping on the world's highest bunk bed. The bathroom was like a lot of European bathrooms where the toilet and the shower are all just together in one tiled room, no lip for separation. There is a shower curtain, but it doesn't really do much to contain the water. The sink to wash your hands is outside of the bathroom. The common areas downstairs were cute. A few big refrigerators to store your food and they provide labels. I've stayed in many hostels in my life and this was definitely a nice one but if you are like me and have gotten used to regular hotel rooms, just bite the bullet and spend the money! If you are in your 20's then go for it! :-)
