Duo Housing DC Reviews

Amazing free BBQ on Sunday night! Great atmosphere, fantastic place to stay!

Good staff and Good beds. But only 1 restroom in each floor was uncomfortable. Too many people in kitchen was also uncomfortable. But meeting other people is always fun. It was great time in Duohousing DC.

Great place, I have been to a lot of hostels in my life, and I had never been to one that I felt that I had stayed with friends. There was a movie every night, games, a lot of people to talk to, no extreme rules or curfew but enough order to keep the places running smoothly. The staff ALWAYS want to help and they made my trip a lot easier. Thanks!!

You all were great! really sociable, nice, and helpful. I loved the "shoes off" policy - it gave a real home-y vibe. My only complaints are the creaky beds and the toilet seats. My suggestion for the toilet seats is to have the hard plastic seats instead of the cushioned ones. The cushions were cracked and seemed hard to clean. I also would have liked better electric outlet access for the upper bunks. My cords weren't long enough to charge my stuff on my bed. I would definitely stay here again.

Showers needed a little tidying up (mold) but otherwise a great place. Everything else was clean and nice, staff courteous. Close to Chinatown/bars. Would stay there again.

The staff at DC Duo were really helpful, especially Brandon. We had a great stay with a clean bathroom and bed and enforcing lights out was great IMO. About the no shoes rule...I noticed quite a number of guests flouting the rules. I'm just a little worried about security at times because it's a password lock and sometimes the front desk may be empty cos the staff is showing someone around but admittedly, these times are short.

Hostel is in a great location, walking distance to all the museums, white house and capital hill. Staff are friendly and very accommodating, my booking got mixed and yet they still managed to sort out a bed for me to stay in. The manger even offered for me to move out of his room and me take his bed for a night. If possible go there on a sunday, their free dinner is awesome. Have done a lot of travelling and never got that anywhere. TV area should be rearranged so more people can mingle

It was my second time at Duo Housing and I really enjoyed it! I really like the cozy atmosphere and the helpful and friendly staff! Everything runs great! Next time I will stay for the big barbecue on Sunday night! I can fully recommend to stay at this hostel when you want to travel to D.C.!

GREAT hostelmanager! He tells you everything about sightseeing, places to eat, to have a good view or to party. Very friendly staff, many young people, nice bathroom. We could leave our luggage there after our check-out for sightseeing. The place is close to the metro station (about 10 min to walk) AND it's cheap! I would definitely come back to the big family of duo housing dc! :)

Excellent. Staff very friendly, helpful and attentive. Free BBQ was excellent!

Overall it was a positive experience. It would have been completely positive except that the manager REALLY creeped me out and acted very strangely. Other staff were as nice as they could be, working for that man. Also it's sort of rude how you are given a list of rules to sign when you arrive, before you are allowed inside. Finally, they seemed to be proud of how welcoming and homey the place was, but how can you feel at home in a place with security cameras all over the place??

Mark, the manager and B, and Sylva were all wonderful! I felt as if i were staying in their home, and I felt as if i were at my own home at the same time. It was marvelous! Very clean. I loved that there was a fridge/freezer and full kitchen upstairs, and a lounge! The "shoes thing" is odd at first, but think about all of those walking shoes inside of a bedroom! The hostel has literally thought of everything!

Super friendly staff! I only stayed a day and didn't have time to really socialize with the other guests but this was clearly a great place to meet people while traveling!

Duo was an ok hostel. I think the no shoe policy is a little unhygienic-they should at least provide slippers of some sort (or allow flip flops). The hostel was very clean and the staff friendly and more than helpful! The showers I took were cold-not even warm. :-/ But I did appreciate the soft bed and provided pillow and linings!

Location is the greatest point of Duo Housing. You can just walk a few blocks and reach the main historical buildings of Washington DC. There's a market just beside the hostel and you can buy food to cook in the kitchen. Showers are good and also the beds. Good staff too. Met many backpackers from many countries and it was great. That thing of living the shoes in the entrance didn't bodered me. Actually, it was a good idea, cause the room are never smelly!

Some of the staff are very pleasant others belong on a prison staff. Dorms crowded one toilet per floor is definitely not enough. The housekeeping staff does a great job of keeping the place clean, and the internet situation is very good. I think the DC AYH hostel is a better choice.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Duo. The location felt safe and is within walking distance to the major attractions. The staff were friendly and really helpful. I stayed here for 2 nights as part of a month long road trip and wouldn't hesistate to book here again if I return to DC!

Amazing location, you can walk to convention center, most of key tourist sites. On a relatively quiet Washington DC street. Near metro and circulator buses. Double security, shoes off, you get used to, but good. Hotels which charge $200 to $400 nights just blocks away!

Everything was so perfect!

It was one of the best hostels I have ever seen. All the staff were really friendly and making sure that the guests were comfortable and happy. It is located in a verry good area in DC, the front desk is open 24h-7 and guests can enter the hostel at any time. I had a really good experience in this hostel.
