Amazing hostel with cozy travel and chill vibes. The staff was super nice and always helpful, the rooms clean and comfortable. The roof terrace is amazing to relax and enjoy delicious pancakes for breakfast in the sun. The location is very convenient, close to the center and with a big supermarket next door. Already returned to the hostel once and would for sure come back whenever I’m in DC again. The wifi didn’t reach all spots but worked just fine in the lobby and basement rooms :)

The curator of this hostel, Elana, puts her all into it and it shows...she made my stay extraordinary. The location can't be beat, amazing area! If you can't find something you enjoy here including comedy clubs, rugby bars, food of the world, Marijuana, bar after bar, hookah inckuded, great people with the nearby Smithsonian free attractions and free Smithsonian zoo (please donate!)... I'm pretty positive you need psychiatric help and to be marked as a potential terrorist!

All hostels in Washington, D.C.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
