Duo Housing DC Reviews

This is a find. The place is clean , affordable, friendly and it is near meseums (20 minutes walk) which I liked to visit. It is also very close (15 minutes walk) to Washington DC's nighlife. It is in a safe area. It has all the accomodations which I hope for a hostel to have.

I really enjoyed my stay at Duo Housing Washington DC: the staff are all so friendly and helpful! The hostel itself is clean and has everything you need, including some very nice common areas. The open atmosphere made it really easy to meet people and get good tips on what to do and see in DC. The location is also very good: walking distance to all the must-see locations. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would recommend this hostel to anyone planning a trip to DC!!

Stayed here ok a quick trip to DC. Great location, a ten minute walk to Pennsylvania ave, museums, walkable to monuments. Clean, inviting, and safe. Glad we stayed here!

Hostel was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Two things that I did not like and that have never happened before while using Hostelworld - the hostel charged my credit card before I arrived and they charged an additional 14.5% tax to my booking. This tax is listed in the "things to note" section but I did not even notice and previously the price listed has always been the price I paid.

This was my second time staying at Duo and just like my first it was outstanding. Mark and his team of Staff go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is happy and enjoying themselves. Duo is close to downtown and the the night life top spots which is great. If you are looking for an amazing place to stay in DC Duo is it!! Thank you Mark, Nino, Vanessa, Eric, Omar, Anne, Ryan and Pop Eye xxxx

Perfect location for the true DC tourist. This location offered everything needed for a cozy stay. Do recommend setting up some air freshners in the entry, since all shoes are kept there. Can be a bit stuffy an smelly, not the best first impression. Overall two thumbs up.

Everything was very clean! Private bathrooms (one on each floor) and communal bathrooms (on the 1st floor) were all well maintained with hot water for showers. They have two great patios outside. Most guests who were there at the time of my stay were relatively young (in their 20s and 30s) and very respectful. I didn't feel like my stuff was going to get stolen. There are lockers (like 12 in x 12 in x 12 in) on the 1st floor and basically what are file cabinets secured with locks in the dorms.

Although we only stayed for one night, I was very happy that we chose DUO housing. It was really apparent that DUO housing is an experienced hostel and that really made a difference. The information the staff provided us was invaluable. They genuinely cared about making our stay there and our overall visit to DC a positive and memorable one. We also appreciated the straight-forward rules which were thoughtfully designed with the tenants in mind. Keep up the good work and thank you!!

awesome place! Extra special thanks to the stuff for their friendship!

it was so clean and so organized, very good experience. it's only 15 minutes walt to the withe house and 3 blocks from subway

The hostel was very good. It was full for the Cherry Blossom Festival but it was very clean and ordered, the price was great. City rental bikes were a couple blocks away from the hostel, which was very convenient to visit the area.

Clean and quiet, but I wish the alcohol time was extended to at least 11pm.

very very good :)

Charging cards prior to arrival is deceiving and probably crosses a legal line. Siginging a list of rules is confontational and not in tune with the kind of traveler/hostel atmosphere.

Only need more outlets so we can charge our phones while we sleep without having to wake someone up in the morning to retrieve them.

It's great, delightfully clean. I love the no-shoes rule. Nino was efficient with his hostel intro/tour. The rooms were quite neat and tidy; plenty of washrooms. The three floors make great use of the space! (Common room, luggage foyer, computer nook, couch spaces, kitchen and dining, smoking patio, chillout roof veranda, and the actual rooms. They have it all!) The folks who stayed in my dorm were REALLY quiet though. Not too friendly. Lacked character in that regard. And no drinking after 10p.

This is a very good situated hostel, you might be thrown away by the no shoe policy, but it worked just fine for me, you have a small locker space in the bed room so you should bring locks for large bags.Also it can be a little noisy but the staff is always paying attention to people´s sleep and behaviour.I loved all the recomendations they give, and they are MASSIVE helpfull.If I was in DC again I would TOTALLY come back.

Very clean. No shoes allowed inside and no food in the bedrooms. Keeping the water hot in the shower was a little tricky.

It's nothing of a hostel. It's just a house with several rooms. Each room has several beds. No breakfast. No parking. You have to help yourself with almost everything. Such as check-in.

The hostel is ok. Staff is not unfriendly. You can use as many towels as you want. The kitchen is well organized and there is a dining room. A big issue is the security. There are two locked front doors. You cannot lock roomdors and there are no lockers in the rooms. Lockers in the lobby are too small for normal sized laptops. So your valuables are not really safe from eing stolen by anyone in the hostel. Also the price for 4 bed room is far to high for what you get.
