I stayed in a private room. The room was good and the facilities were good as well. There was many storing place. I do think that there is no value for money however for this room. Location is very good.

This hostel is in a prime location, just around the corner from U street Metro Station. All the main sights are just minutes away on the train. Additionally the surrounding neighborhood has grocery stores, minimarts, and many clubs. I was visiting for a show at the 9:30 club which was a 9 minute walk from the hostel. Extremely convenient location and clean facilities and amenities. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

The Hostel was perfect for me. The location was great. I was able to get from and to Reagan International on the metro. I was able to walk to the National Mall to wander the museums and memorials. There was a grocery store and restaurants within a short walking distance. The only down side was that the showers are not located on the same floor as my pod but that was manageable.

this futuristic capsule-style hostel Unfortunately, the facilities are quite old and some of them are broken. 1. The check-in process was really frustrating because the app is very poorly designed. 😡 2. For a female solo traveler, the shower situation is a big problem. Men and women share the same floor, and the door can be opened at any time and cannot be locked, which feels unsafe. 3. The cleanliness is really

Be aware this is a self check-in property. There is no one to assist you from 1-6pm in case you have issues with check-in (like me). They say there’s support through the goki app, but you’ll only get a response several hours later. When on site, staff was very helpful though. I had a private ensuite room and it was clean and ok sized.

This hostel was fine. The pods were a bit dingy and one air vent didn’t work. The reception is not staffed from 1-6 pm, leaving multiple people waiting in the lobby trying to check in and asking other guests for help. The lockers are not large enough to fit a bag. However, the location is great and close to tons. The coffee shop is also cute with some yummy drinks

The bed was comfy. The capsule was a little beaten up (some of the hooks were broken and one of the fans didn't work), but it was still a comfortable and relatively private place to sleep. The lockers were small, but I didn't feel like my stuff that I left out was unsafe. My biggest issue was the complete lack of hot water, so I wasn't able to shower and talking to other guests, this seemed like an ongoing problem. Great location. Love the coffee shop and proximity to the metro and food options.

This is a great place to stay! The property is in a safe location with the metro station not even a 5 minute walk from the hostel. The only things that weren’t great about the place was that the beds were decently hard in my opinion, the air vents in the capsule I was in didn’t bring in much air which led to a hotter than normal night, but still very manageable. A heads up to those driving: if you arrive later in the night on a weekend you will probably need to park a few blocks down.

Great cafe and staff. Carolyn took great care of me. The location is wonderful too; right by Metro with bikeshare & pharmacy across the street. 1 block from hopping 14th streets and a quick Lime ride to downtown. This is not a boutique hostel - it's a bit funky - a work in progress - worth the price.

Decent place to stay. My pod's charging outlets did not work and air flow was weak/non-existent.

BARE BONES overnight stay. Front desk not always attended---several times day and night people who said they had reserved/paid online were waiting for someone to appear at the front desk. Guests are automatically checked out of the system at 11a and thus can't get in the front door to pick up bags being held.....i got lucky someone was at the front desk and let me into the building to pick mine up. but no RR on street level so couldn't access elevators. pods comfy but much ambient noise
