This is definitely the nicest hostel I have ever been to. The couches made me feel so at home, it was hard to leave! Felix, from Germany ~ 27th Oct 2009

Very interesting hostel. It has a really home-y feel to it, as soon as you get there. It is smaller and more friendly. The staff are great. It is very clean and has free high speed internet (wireless and computers you can use downstairs.) Would much prefer to stay here than a HI, because, although it maybe isnt in the best place (the security is fine though, you feel safe.) it has much more character and is more interesting.
Thank you Jana!

No hot water, no locks on room doors, whoever may come to your room while you\\\'re absent!
Dear Alexander, I am sure you noticed our note in the bulletin board about city water pipes reconstruction that would make hot water not steaming hot for a few days. We offered to you safety locker and its up to you to decide that you don't need it. Sorry you missed all the fun. - Roma

Okay, staff was friendly. BUT: only cold water, no secure(!) lockers, noisy. All in all. Nice to stay for a night or two. But not more... Very puristic. Sebastian, from Germany ~ 17th Sep 2009

Don't bother looking at other Hostels in the area. I'm a picky person, OCD clean infact and I didn't mind this place at all. IKEA furnished - friendly atomsphere. This was my first hostel and because of it I'm hooked! (I know not all hostels are great but this one has opened my life to always having it be an option.) Daniel, from USA ~ 12th Sep 2009

The location is a little bit far away, its exterior is very old, but inside it is pretty clean, people are quite friendly. Overall this place is not too bad, my only concern will be its security.
Hey Adrian, Thanks for the comment. The location is in the center of downtown DC, please use google maps to locate 1333 11th st nw and you will see. Of course, depending on where you go, even though the metro is a few blocks away, getting around the entire DC from one place to another is impossible in 10 minutes or less. We are in the "historic" part of DC, and the exterior has class (yes it is old). As far security, we have cameras, on site staff that check up on things, access only with security code and free lockers! Thanks for your review, and we're glad you enjoyed your stay with us!
