Everything is fabulous! My second stay here, will be back. I’m getting spoiled by having breakfast provided at other hostels, and that was not the case here. Not a big complaint! The staff is extremely helpful and very friendly. The beds are comfortable and the bedding is cozy. The location is also super nice. There’s noise on the street at night, but that’s a reminder of people having a good time. The restaurant choices are top-notch! I use earplugs when I need them, and I sleep very well here.

Loved everything about this hostel, especially the staff. The building is so beautiful in a great area. I came by myself this time, coming back again next month with my husband.

Pros: The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary appliances. Free amenities are provided, such as shampoo, soap, and bathing towels. The common room is very cozy and welcoming. Cons: It is far from downtown and attractions like the Washington Monument, taking over 30 minutes by car and possibly 20 minutes or more waiting for the bus. The neighborhood feels a bit unsettling at night, with a strong smell of marijuana everywhere.
