In general the experience was good, the area is safe and alive. Only complain check in the kitchen what is working and what is not, just one of the 2 inductions was working + the boiler in the kitchen is broken + the hoven is broken, the washing mashine smell bad, tell people to let it open after every use or spray with sanitizer. The restrooms and showers are not in the room but in the main area. They have a nice spot outside to enjoy a meal with your mates.

HighRoad Hostel is truly a gem. Despite being small, the rooms are exceptionally clean and cleverly furnished to maximize the space. I truly have not seen a higher level of cleanliness, not even in luxury hotels. Everything works as it should, if not better than expected; excellent temperature and water pressure with no fluctuations, rainfall shower heads with handheld fixtures, unbelievably comfortable pillows and beds, plush towels. To top it off, toiletries and coffee are free all the time!

Very Nice hostel ! Easy checkin. No burocracy at all. Smiles everywhere. Free coffee during the day. Clean room, big lockers and hot shower. Everything i needed for my 2 days/1 night staying. The hostel is located in a bohemian neighborhood 35 min far from Nationa Mall (by local bus). I recomend and it seems to be the best option in town

My best hostel experience yet. Hot showers, lots of bathrooms, huge lockers, great location close to nightlife and transit options, super friendly staff (LOVED Mai), and a great social vibe. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in DC

Great location, the hostel is not too far from the subway, the area is nice and I felt safe at night. There is an active night life on weekends within walking distance of the hostel. The hostel was quiet when I was staying there and staff were friendly and helpful. I liked that the hostel provided extra soaps/shampoo and toothpaste for guests. I wish there had been some hostel events happening when I was there. I liked the at they offered free coffee!

The place is net- clean - intact- great location- female dorm on the top floor needs to have the plumbing examined in the shower- water pressure in the shower is either very hot or very cold- this was reported to the staff.

Very great, accommodating and peaceful hostel. Good showers, free coffee/tea, closets and lockers. The beds are pod likes. The dorms have bathrooms! It is very peaceful which I appreciated greatly after I came in from work . Business travelers sometimes get passed up by hospitality catering to the needs of nightlife, but I feel this place strikes a decent balance.

Great hostel! Good amenities like a free washing machine and a kitchen (induction stove which can be a little confusing) and it was clean and I liked how the beds were each sectioned off with lots of curtains. The area is really cool and fun but it’s quite far from the Capitol (although takes less time to walk there than google maps says) and the public transport is really sketchy at night.

Great location, super clean and they had toothbrushes/toothpaste/soap/earplugs and even razors if you needed! Close to a bus stop and only 15 min walk to the train. A longer walk but no problem to get to the monument etc. It’s on a busy street so it can be loud outside on the weekend

The beds provide a lot of privacy, the bathrooms are complete seperate rooms that you have for yourself once you look them behind you, very clean and a safe area. Kitchen is clean and well equipped. Not very close to the subway but the bus system is perfect. Staff is very helpful and attentive. Free toiletries Cons: in a party area, its incredibly loud until 2am and later during weekend nights. No lift. The blankets are thin fleece blankets, but staff provided more when asked.
