Duo Nomad

Everyone in the staff was extremely nice. It was a bit run down though, like there was mold or something between the seat cushions in the outside sofa and the floor carpet felt a little moist for example. Pretty dark in general. Nice vibe though, everyone I met was super friendly.

Die Angestellten waren sehr nett und das Hostel sauber. Man darf nur mit Socken in die Schlafsäle was es gemütlich macht. Die Ausstattung (Sofa, Stühle Dachterasse, Küche) ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Es gibt keinen gemütlichen Aufenthaltsraum, die Kissen auf der Dachterasse werden bei Regen nicht reingeholt. Für nur schlafen ist es okay, aber Hostel Atmosphäre kommt nicht auf. Unsere Mit-Gäste waren eher arbeitende Leute, und niemand der Urlaub in DC gemacht hat.

Spent 6 nights here in June. Location is good. Just 2 blocks from the metro, which made it very easy to get around the city. And the fresh pancakes every morning were a great addition!

My second time here. Very quiet hostel. I choose it for location: near Eastern Market, beautiful neighborhoods and parks, organic food stores. It’s clean and safe, but maybe too quiet.

Staff was kind and helpful after a long night and morning of travel. Hostel was clean, chill and welcoming.

Great location, with proximity to the metro station and easily walkable to a ton of places like the Navy yards, the Capital, etc. Facilities are pretty basic and straightforward, so I feel like the price was a little steep for the value of the stay, but still nothing to complain about. Bedding and bathroom worked and I have no complaints! Check in staff was really chill and helpful too. Overall I would stay here again! BTW, if you need parking, I parked around the block on D Street - it's free!

A couple blocks walk from the metro and lots of restaurants and bars. Close to capitol hill and the mall. Great value considering the location. But you get what you pay for. The vibe wasn't great, not a great place to hang out, but perfectly fine as a place to crash and shower. It's an older building and it shows. Furnishings were serviceable and clean but dated and plain looking. Unfortunately no laundry and the laundromat is a 15 min bus trip away. I would consider Duo Nomad for future trip...

No cannabis allowed on the premises. There is a designated smoking area, but only for cigarettes. The best place to hang out is on the roof!

Staff were amazing and the facilities were great!

I don't typically give bad reviews, but this one particularly deserved it. They were kind enough to let me check in a bit early, but I had to come back during their check in hours to actually get my code for the hostel. This was just a very minor hiccup. The main problem was the facilities. The hostel says it has AC and it does, but each room had window units that were off and rooms were hot and stuffy. More like a hovel than a hostel. Secondly, the bugs in the mens showers - simply horrible.

Incredible stay! I definitely recommend it! The location is perfect and there's public transportation nearby! Super nice staff and they keep the place extra clean! Free pancakes for breakfast is the absolute cherry on top and they're delicious.

Thank you for everything! As a solo female traveller I was a little worried as all their dorms are coed... but they went above and beyond and not only they accommodated my request and placed me in a dorm with another female traveller but they gave me a free upgrade! Love the location and the pancakes were scrumptious!

Location was perfect for me. Yes! Organic Market, Eastern Market, and Metro close. There was almost no one at the hostel- I rarely saw staff or guests. That was a bit strange, even for November. I felt safe, and the place was clean. There were a lot of signs everywhere saying “don’t do this” but not a lot of clear positive directions about HOW/WHAT to do. HEADS UP: Narrow, winding, rickety stairs to the second and third floors. If you’re not comfortable with this try to get a first f...

- there is no privacy in the bathrooms/whilst showering. I felt awkward changing in the as there is no where to hang items in the shower - an older crowd with men in their 60s working from the common areas during our stay, which created a weird atmosphere. Some took work calls directly outside our room from early morning until night -We had a private room with no lock on the door. We would have felt safer if we could lock our room whilst we were out Overall, not the vibe for a traveller.

Great little hostel! Very thorough with security and check in, and very clean, especially with the shoes-off-inside policy. Space is a little cramped. Not much of a social vibe but good for a quiet place to stay. Free pancake breakfast was very nice.

A little further out from the centre of DC but as a solo female traveller I felt safe and the staff gave me a free upgrade to be in a smaller room to help make that happen

Loved this place. Felt very safe

Very good hostel with everything you need for a short stay and a very good location.

10/10 los pancakes gratis

It was a great time there! It didn’t feel like a hostel it felt more like a home. The pancakes in the morning are so delicious. I will definitely come back!!! loved it there!
