I will say that temper your expectations, the reviews seemingly are all five stars and this is a decent place. Not sure the rooms for the hostel are any different than the others. Yes , stairs , yes very very very small rooms. Staff seemed a bit blah and not super enthusiastic but that is fine . This place has the nerve to think you could put a table and chairs in the room. That is too funny. The good? It’s clean. Secure and in one of the best neighborhoods. Go visit Ben’s chilli , tryst and all the amazing places to eat. I would say if you are an adult or anyone , maybe think about a 3 night stay as it’s way too cramped for anything else

The hotel was perfectly located, and easily accessible by any transportation mode. The staff are great, the handy brochures were a perfect quick grab in the lobby before heading out. The shared kitchen is fantastic, any everyone staying there respects other's property. The facility is very clean, well maintained and ideal for a short or longer stay. As a couple, who aren't backpacking students we enjoyed our stay in the private hotel-style rooms, vs the hostel style. It's simple, affordable and filled with friendly people all around.

Highly recommend this hotel. I am a DC resident who stayed here for a few days between leases and was honestly thrilled by the experience playing tourist in my own town. I rarely get over to AdsMo but this hotel made for a great starting point to explore the neighborhood- it's probably been nearly 10 years since my last visit and long before I appreciated neighborhoods for any reason other than the bar scene. Beautiful unseasonably warm sunny weather and Porchfest made it all the better. Room was chic and trendy in the European style. The entire bathroom was a walk in shower! Morning coffee was exceptional. Staff were nice & exceedingly friendly, genuinely curious about my stay and the experience. I think Kay checked me out? Honestly all staff working during my stay deserve accolades. I will be back for a staycation very soon. Seriously cannot recommend this hotel enough. Great price, great value, great accommodations, beautiful historic building, so many restaurants, bakeries, bars, beautiful neighborhoods, adjacence to many others (U/14th, Dupont, even Farragut/downtown is walkable)... all in all- run, don't walk, to stay here.

I liked the time I had there. I spent night and morning hours in the suit mostly but it was good so far in terms of the price-quality balance. Albeit the room was not very spacious it had almost everything that is necessary for the comfortable stay including little table and chair. Among the advantages: the light intensity regulation in the room, AC, hooks for clothes, different free hygiene items, water, coffee, and tea for free. Adams Morgan district is nice as well and there are tons of cool restaurants and bars. The commute to the city’ center is also convenient from here. Thus, I have good impressions!

Would definitely stay here again

First of all, I had no idea it was a hostel until I got an email from them directly. This turned out to not be an issue, as it’s one of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed in—very hotel-like. Cool vibe that fits the AdMo neighborhood in which it’s located. The only issue I had was a loud couple in the room next to me. I ultimately had to knock on their door at almost 2am and the guy immediately apologized and said they would be quiet. I mentioned this to the woman at the front desk the next morning and she apologized and said they don’t want it to get to the point where we have to knock on doors ourselves. She made a note and said the person on duty would keep an ear out when doing rounds that night. The noise was not a problem the next night. The front desk even asked me about the noise the next morning. They seemed genuinely concerned about their guests’ experience. As others have mentioned, all areas were very clean. I unfortunately didn’t have any cash on me to leave a tip for housekeeping, but they deserved one. Overall, a great experience and I would unquestionably stay here again.
