Washington Hostellit

Plussat: The breakfast is good.

Miinukset: The hostel is far away from the main attractions. Dirty bathroom. Rude staff. Really old beds. I won’t come back.

Plussat: I had never stayed in a hostel before but I had a large travel delay. It was very pleasant. The staff was very accommodating, knowledgeable and pleasant. Also I saw a few of the other hostels in the area... but this one was the winner.

Miinukset: There seemed to only be one elevator accommodating the entire facility. It made arriving/leaving with luggage more of a hassle.

Plussat: It was my first time staying in a hostel and overall, it was a good yet different experience. The area of the hostel wasn't in an area far away from the awesome city sights. Some areas of the hostel could be updated a bit or given a better cleaning. However overall it was cool and I would go back.

Miinukset: The kitchen area could've used a better cleaning and some areas of the building, such as the bathrooms, could use an update. The walls were thin too so you could hear easily people coming and going. However, the staff was fairly friendly and it was great they had live music during my stay.

Plussat: Location, was grate, as well as the price was!!

Plussat: - great location, close to the metro and bus stops - big sofas in the common area, pool table - water distributor/fountain - loved it! - towel provided by the hostel

Miinukset: - bathrooms were not cleaned properly - sink in the bathroom on my floor had already been broken for some time (there was an "out of order" notice that was covered with dust...) and it didn't get fixed while I was there - blinds in the room didn't work properly - AC was loud and was going on & off all the time - staff seemed annoyed/bored when I arrived and was checking in - if I hadn't ask for the things myself, I wouldn't be provided with the basic information; additionally, on the day that I arrived there was a free dinner served but I wasn't aware of that (and no one informed me about it) and honestly, I would have loved to join since I was after a very long journey

Plussat: Great experience...especially John in the kitchen.

Miinukset: Snoring of other guests.

Plussat: There were lots of friendly guests, and the staff were quite helpful.

Miinukset: The beds were horrible, the common areas were dimly lit, and it seemed overall very cheap compared to other hostels in the DC area.

Plussat: nice hostel good location with nice attractions

Miinukset: the shower with the curtains

Plussat: The location was great just a quick walk to all the major tourist sites. Is not luxuries but if you need a place to crash and are on tight budget there isn't anywhere better.

Plussat: Breakfast was adequate. This property tends to host a lot of student groups and atmosphere was lively. Bathroom was never crowded. Preferred the rooms with vinyl flooring to carpet.

Miinukset: Elevator is super slow. Air conditioning in the room sometimes too warm or cold.

Plussat: environment was cool and the people were really nice. location was spot on

Plussat: Amability

Miinukset: Everything was good

Plussat: Location, staff, guests and facilities make this hostel special. Along with modern check-in and check-out capacity, you really will enjoy staying here.

Miinukset: No in-room bathrooms, in-room bars or coffeemakers perhaps... but there's free coffee in the kitchen.

Plussat: Price

Miinukset: The facility give you the impression that it is a homeless shelter

Plussat: They do not serve breakfast unless you consider an open carton of one-ounce bags of potato chips and Doritos to qualify as breakfast. I liked the location, close to the Convention Center where I attended a six-day conference. There is a kitchen that is decent, except for the guy who slept there at night sitting in a chair, slumped over the kitchen table. The manager seemed like he was trying to do a conscientious job and was solicitous of guest concerns and requests, but there was only so much he could accomplish in such a dump.

Miinukset: Where to start? The only word for this place is HORRIBLE. I was in a four-bed room; it consisted to two bunk beds, one chair, and one small chest of drawers. There was only enough floor space for one person to open his suitcase or backpack at a time. There was no waste basket so the other guests threw their trash on the floor. The waste baskets in the kitchen and all-genders lavatory & showers were overflowing most of the time. The staff showed an indifferent attitude toward emptying them. The bedroom rarely if ever received a cleaning because with the luggage in there, the floor was covered almost completely. In the mornings, guests qued up to use the two toilets, two sinks, and two showers, one of which had a door for privacy. One downside of mixing men and women in the same washroom is that if they are putting on their makeup, fuggedaboudit if you want to use the sink. Sorry if that is sexist, but that's what happened. Some of the recent construction showed a distinctly amateur touch. The faucet set in one sink was quite loose. The undersized "handicapped" toilet stall that lacked support bars had a door that was jerry-rigged with non-standard surface-mounted hinges; the result is that it does not stay closed even with the lock in locking position. The new shower door is connected to a partial-height wall that is sheetrocked in the wrong grade of gypsum board—the ordinary *gray board.* Instead, it should be the moisture-resistant *green board* which they should have painted with epoxy paint immediately. Instead, it was already being affected by the humidity from the shower. . . . I could go on, but that is probably enough to paint the picture.

Plussat: Price

Miinukset: There were homeless folks hanging in the incredibly small common area. The homeless folks were told there would be no rooms, but they stayed there anyway, making guests feel uncomfortable. The homeless folks were drinking beer, too, which they were told repeatedly was against house rules; management did not kick them out. Furniture near the laundry facility was broken in the building I stayed in. Room was sparse and had junk stored in the only closet.

Plussat: The second building is renovated with good rooms and nice bathrooms.

Miinukset: The kitchen in the new building isn't equipped The light in the room annoyingly switched off when we were in, so we had to move all the way.

Plussat: I liked that it has running water and a tv in the room. The owner was friendly. He was considerate.

Miinukset: I didn't like the fact that it charges $80 for one night and you don't even get your own room. I had for different beds in my room and the room was small. The bathroom was a boys shower room with only one show and one toilet. There is nobody to take your bags for you and nobody even cleaned my room or got my bed ready for me before sending me to my room. I walked in and the bed was dirty. The vending machine is all out of snacks and drinks, who knows when the last time they refilled them. It would be a great place for cockroaches.

Plussat: The WiFi works and Ataga connected

Miinukset: They need to hire pest control. First night, I walked into my room and a mouse skittered across the floor. So I walked out and sat down. 2 more ran through the hallway. The kitchen needs more utensils. I had to bring a plastic spoon. The room gets too hot at night. There’s a nightclub next door that keeps you up. The sheets and towels need replaced. They look stained and worn out.

Plussat: The WiFi stayed connected and worked. It did have a shower, it also had a bunk bed and sort of had a kitchen.

Miinukset: Where to start? The place smells rank, there was mice in the room I’d booked, the kitchen in the new wing looks nice, but built horribly. Also, the kitchen lacks many basic essentials to make it a functional kitchen. I had to bring a plastic spoon with me. In the old wing, there’s a club next door, so it makes it very hard to sleep when you can hear bass music half the night. The rooms are also incredibly hot and no windows. The bathroom is gender shared, which is ok..... But, the stalls have a massive slit through them. Half the sheets had marks and stains on them.

Plussat: Staff were friendly & great location

Miinukset: Bed was not comfy at all, noisy other people staying and no hot water in the showers during our whole stay.

Plussat: We didn't like anything because they didn't have a room for us after we booked here FOUR MONTHS prior. When we showed up for check in around 6pm we were told he didn't have a room for us because "the website is messed up and he took this room down months ago from Expedia but the site continues to book it." The owner repeatedly told us it was not his fault and there was nothing he could do. He even tried to get us to sympathize with him on how confusing websites can be. He then offered to check Hotwire for us. My head about exploded. Awful service and awful person. We flew all the way from Florida, across town on the metro, and walked many blocks to this poorly renovated "B&B", to be told we "can check Hotwire." DO NOT BOOK HERE.

Miinukset: Fun fact: as we were waiting in the "lobby" aka his living room trying to find a new hotel we were told by guests staying there that this had happened THREE times in the last 2 days. Unbelievable. The owner could have had the decency to call us even a day beforehand so we could have found a new hotel.

Plussat: Close to metro, super clean, quiet, friendly people. Management is very responsive. Feels like home.

Plussat: Bathrooms were okay clean.

Miinukset: The second night I stayed I found someone else sleeping in my bed. They forgot to write my name on that room and gave my spot to someone else. I ended up leaving and hoping to get a refund now.

Plussat: Only the location

Miinukset: The photos has nothing to do with the property, a very dirty kitchen, dirty beds dirty ........ Very small room for 6 people, unbreathable

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: It’s among the worst I have seen. If I had been alone, I would have stayed because it was a place to sleep. My wife absolutely refused and I don’t blame her.

Plussat: All things, specially professional management for that place ,Best hot regards to Mr.steef I meet many people I wasn't think I will meet them many guys,girls from all the world come Thier and Enjoying , breakfast it was delicious,I feeling comfortable as my home.

Miinukset: Nothing
