The staff was super friendly and supportive. Fresh pancakes are made every morning. The sleeping pods were something new for me and I liked it. It seemed like not all of them were fully built, as the curtains weren't installed yet, but that might be just a questions of a couple more days, providing you with a bit more privacy. The location worked out superb for me. China town is just across the sreeet, offering plenty of food options. The main seights are still in walking distance.

It's a new hostel so you can't expect everything is well ready. There were some small problems at the beginning but the staff was nice and tried to resolved them. The breakfast was good and sometimes it had Friday beer movie night. The location is perfect. Will highly recommend it.

The property was in the process of renovating. Even with construction going on, it was still a beautiful place to stay. The modern amenities are more in line with a chic 5-star hotel than a stereotypical hostel. The stay included breakfast which was cooked to order...amazing!

I had a really wonderful time staying here! There was some initial difficulty with my check-in, but everyone was on it immediately and it was quickly resolved. The facilities are clean and comfortable. As a newer business, the building is still undergoing some upgrades, but in the meantime everything is more than functional. What puts this place over the top in my view is the friendliness of the staff - particularly Jim, the property manager. The atmosphere is warm and homey. The location is very close to the Capitol Mall, Smithsonian museums and other attractions. What isn't close by is easily accessible by using DC's extremely safe, intuitive and user friendly public transportation system. I would definitely stay here again!
