About

The building is situated in the vibrant and historic U Street district, only a few feet away from the metro entrance. We boast capsule sleeping units, that will provide unparalleled audio and visual privacy while encasing you in a cocoon of safe and sound sleep.

The building has an elevator to make your check-in effortless and multiple hang-out areas. We have a quiet second-floor working area, with office chairs and a table, with gigabit internet.

The first floor, meanwhile, has a beautiful lobby and a coffee shop with all the specialty drinks, pastries, and some savory options!

You are able to check in as late as you wish, via the self-check-in option. You will need to simply scan the QR located on the exterior door (free Wifi listed there too), and input your reservation number and last name.

Overall good, just had trouble with the door code. I j ust could not get it just so.I must have fat fingers. The music on the PA system in the community area a little loud in the morning. but we had to wake up anyways. Everyone was super friendly. we felt safe and they have coffee and crossoints for purchase in the morning.I do recommend giving this hostel a try.

The hostel is around the corner from the metro train station. The check-in process is a bit awkward electronically.
