Typical hostel experience
This was a fairly standard hostel and suitable if you just need a place to sleep and don't mind the shared dorms. As a woman traveling solo, I felt reasonably safe. The location is convenient for getting around the city.

Ehh def not four stars worthy
Yeah, I feel like they could be more upfront about how they do room placements and asking if you need a top or bottom bunk available ahead of time. I am a fem solo traveler that got placed in a room of all men, which was very uncomfortable at first. The room was musty and super small to as well. There’s also one bathroom for 8 people, which worked out fine. There’s no face towels or paper towels in the hostel, so you don’t have anything to dry your hands with after using the restroom, which is wild. I also felt like staff didn’t take my concerns seriously when asking to switch from a top bunk to a bottom bunk due to mobility issues.

everything was good except the lack of airflow in the sleeping area that made it almost impossible to sleep in, and resulted in everyone flocking to the communal spaces for relief. It was hotter in that area than outside. If you come here, bring a portable fan, without it I would not have been able to sleep here.
besides that, it was great!! and the breakfast was delicious!

Straightforward hostel with friendly service in a convenient location! If you're up for dormitory sleeping arrangements, it's a great low-cost option for DC!
