- “ Staff was very friendly but the facilities were a bit old and dirty. The shower had a snail and a few other bugs in it. eww! Also, the location of hostel is surrounded by abandoned buildings and just a sketchy few blocks, but about 5 blocks away it is very safe. Location is fine in the day but not recommended at night, especially if you're alone. ”

- “ The location is awesome. Everything is within walking distance and they provide many coupons for many stores and the host will tell you where to go and the special events during your stay. It's awesome! I like it. I'll definitely recommend it to my friends coming to dc ”

- “ This hostel was just right for me. Very nice people, other guests as well as staff. And helpful, too, knowing helpful stuff about the city, offering help, etc. I liked that there are only female dorms with bathroom for a good price. Other hostels were more expensive or only had mixed dorms with at least 6 beds. The bathroom cleanliness could've been better, that's the only negative comment. Especially like the good location, so close to all main attractions so I could walk everywhere :o). ”

- “ the best hostel ever! I've stayed there for one week and really enjoyed my time there. The house seems old but the facilities inside are pretty good. Also it has a great location, only 2 mins walk from metro station and 10 mins from Chinatown, and it's very convenient to buy everything you need in this area. A police station is on the opposite side of this street, it made me feel secure. The staff is very friendly and kindness. ”

- “ Small attention to details could make a big difference here... like a few hooks in the tiny cramped bathroom??? Mattress pads were torn and ill fitting, parking in the back of the hostel was in a junkyard, whole place could use a purge of random items sitting around. But people were friendly and helpful and location was good. Don't count on breakfast... ”

- “ Was extremely pleased with my stay. It was everything I expect from a hostel. Safe, good value for my money, adequate living environment, very good location and courteous professional and helpful staff. My companion during my stay was a first time hostel traveler. He was impressed with the experience we had and wants me to express his pleasure of his stay @ United Tel also. I would stay there again! ”

- “ Excellent location. Ron, the host, was friendly and accomodating. The room was clean, fresh sheets, and very comfortable. ”

- “ Ron is fantastic! He owns the place and will do whatever he can to accommodate you, even if it means pulling out an air mattress if they're over-booked and you find yourself in need of a place to stay. The location is great, there is a standard breakfast every morning and you can make lots of friends if traveling alone. I give it an A+ ”

- “ Love this place. A little hard to find, since it has no obvious sign. But if you input the address into the google map, it will take you somewhere quite near. The inside structure is sooo good and the host is soooo handsome. It made me feel like home. This price also included breakfast, quite valuable. ”

- “ It is the most warm place that i had lived in DC. The building is old, but it is the place that you feel at home. The staff is very nice; they can think about the things that you never expect. I lived in DC in different hostel for couple days. This one is the one that i will come back! ”

- “ the hostel is godd for the maney you pay. The entrancel is very poor and dont seem like hostel. Inside the style is very family, the atmosphere is frendly. The cleanliness es good at the bathroom and kitchen but in common areas it´s very poor and it does not have included the clean of the room every day as i get use in other hostels (no vacum at all). The servicies included is very good, they have good breakfast, very good WIFI, discount at a near supermarket, free internet & long distances call ”
