Private and with a local feel, narrow house converted to a hotel/hostel along the canal. Our ensuite bathroom was perfect. The DC Circulator buses pick up just one block away, making it easy to get to DC center. We would stay there again, happily!

Absolutely recommend it!! Would definitely go back...first of all cleanliness..from the moment you walk in you can smell it, feel it and see it, that's the most important thing to me and this hotel delivers it. Then is th location...right in the heart of Georgetown, a trendy neighborhood filled with restaurants, bars, shops and places to go to, and really easy access to public transportation to go to all the must-see places in Washington...

Amazing! I had a fabulous stay. It is situated in a beautiful area and the facilities were excellent. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here if they wanted a quieter place to stay. The area is filled with lots of great bars located nearby. It is only a short walk (20 mins) to Washington

A cute little hostel in a great location in Georgetown! The staff was really helpful and let us check in early so we could get to walk around and explore the city! The room we stayed in was spacious and clean. All in all, a great value for your money!

it was weird that i told the hostel i would arrive at 10 PM and ultimately had to wait 20 minutes in front of the door (calling a number first, luckily i had an american phone with me) until someone in a hurry - arriving from another hostel- gave me my key and left again. i did not know the WiFi Password nor the breakfast hours. the hostel is very clen and the beds are comfortable. there is a great bathroom to the room and even a TV. cleaning staff ignored the Do Not Disturbed Sign once. creepy

Clean, very nice location next to the canal (bus every 10 minutes to the city center). The rooms are not very big but it is not a problem as the neighborhood is nice with many restaurant and coffee shops to go if the weather is rainy.

The place is not only in beautiful Georgetown, but also in walking distance to the Mall (30min along the river side). Upon arrival we were offered a room with a small extra bed as we were no couple - even though the Queensize bed would have been big enough to two suit us two... The room was very clean and still looked brand new. Only the breakfast area in the basement is a bit small. The breakfast itself consists of bagels, cream cheese and jam as well as coffee, tea and water!

The place was clean, conveniently located and staff tried to be helpful. Heating was insufficient and water was not hot, only warm. Not a very nice combination in winter. The private ensuite double room is quite small, has little storage space. The breakfast was laughable: toast, packed jam and coffee. Not even milk. So prepare to stop by a coffee shop to get real breakfast.

The Inn has gone a full new construction, the heat is completely controlled from your room, and so does the hot water. Prospective guests may need to run the water for a minute. Also would like to advise guests to follow the screen when watching TV. Breakfast is complimentary. crème is available, and half & half. However, milk is not desirable, and hard to keep. We serve orange juice. Please ask the server. A full breakfast is always paid for and planned for. We get you started with coffee, tea, toast, crème cheese, butter, and jam.
