It's a great little hostel, more like being back home then a dorm and Bill made it even more cozy. Cheers Bill

I must say, Bill is a great guy very friendly and welcoming. Always, caring and asking if everything is ok. I most definitely would go back! Thanks BILL!

This was a wonderful hostel although it felt more like a little guesthouse (this is a good thing). Bill the owner was a true gentleman and was a great host. Free peanut butter sandwiches all day which was perfect. Only slight downfall for me was the location. It was in not such a nice park of the city and when I stepped outside I felt a little unsafe. But bus stop is right outside hostel to take you into the city center. I had a great time here!!

Hotel situé ds la banlieue de Washington ds un quartier pas sur...pr preuve mon ami s'est fait agressé, un des agresseurs avait un couteau! Meme les taximans n'osent pas aller ds cette partie là de la ville! Le propriétaire de l'auberge est tres acceuillant, tres sympa ms logement très petit, on est les uns sur les autres et au niveau propreté c'est bof..un cafard se balladait à la cuisine...:-S

Very homely though the location is not the best if you want to be right in the action.

was a lovely hostel - not much of an atmosphere and not alot around the area to do - but still recommended as a very cheap and nice hostel!

OWNER SLAMMING DOOR AT GUESTS?! If u have any other option, dont stay at CC. Bill the owner was so kind and helpful until the last minute when I checked out, he slammed the door at me and told me not 2 come back because before I even arrived, I booked a nearby hostel 4 the last night of my trip because CC was n/a for that date. He blamed me 4 staying w/ his competitor. Hes like not all beds go on website but how was I supposed to know and why should I be obligated 2 stay? ITS JUST RIDICULOUS
