William Penn House Reviews

They charge for Wireless and public computer use. I hate that. The bathroom is not very good. No one change drinking water after 10pm

Penn hostel was beyond expectations: run by a religious community thats fundmental belief is in that the natural state of humanity is divine, this hostel is the perfect place. To chill out after some time in ny, even just a place to hang out. I'm definitely not a religious person but the guys at penn house who are quakers are so chillled out about their beliefs that it is hard not to become intriegued about their beliefs. But dude forget about all if you want;it's chilled out, clean happy

Everything was good except for the shower quality.

The staff is not friendly and they don't stay at the front desk after 9PM, it doesn't have lockers, the breakfast is only bread with butter and orange juice, you can not make noise after 8PM, there is not enought bathrooms and you have to pay for internet. Too much old people, is a place to them.

The friendliness of everyone was excellent. The location is absolutely the best. The mattress was too hard. The pillow was excellent. The bathroom could use a remodel, but it was clean. I have already recommended that people stay there, and I will stay there again. You're missing a good potential clientele by not looking to older Americans. This does not have to be a youth hostel.

I chose this hostel because I hoped it would be quiet, and it was. Near stores and restaurants, beautiful area of DC, quick walk to Capitol and the Mall. Beds were okay. Provided breakfast okay (toast, cold cereal, juices) with good coffee. All interactions pleasant. A little worn around the edges but all in all a good value.

For location to stay for only one night and be to be able catch the train to next destination its not so bad.

Unbelievably good for such a modest price few blocks away from the Hill. Extraordinary courteous and professional staff. Highly recommend.

William Penn House was just what I was looking for - a cheap, safe place to stay. I didn't spend much time there other than sleeping but as a base for exploring DC on a budget I definitely recommend it.

I thought that the hostel was great. The only thing I would change is making people pay $5 a day for wireless internet.

The facilities were great except for the fact that there was no kitchen facilities available for our use. An OK breakfast was provided but we couldn't prepare food.

...everything was waccepteith one exception acceptable - that is, human hair on allegedly clean blankets and what appeared to be a large dark human hair on an allegedly clean towel....please ask the facility to check linens and towels following washing and before distribution to guests....in peace....
