This property was in a nice part of Capitol Hill, about a 6 block walk to the Capitol. It was very clean, safe, and although breakfast never seemed to start on time (8-9, included), it was one of the best hostel experiences I've had. It is not a party place (they don't allow alcohol), but we all fell into easy conversation around the big dinning room table. The beds are not the softest, but everything was clean and tidy every day. I would return here in a heartbeat!

This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Thankyou so much for your hospitality. The map with local attractions was helpful and the breakfast was a nice touch. Carlos

This place was very pretty in nice nieghborhood. The problems were they didn't have room key and a hair dryer. Other than that, I was happy with the nice place

Walked to Supreme Court in 5 minutes. Great neighborhood of Capital Hill. Friendly staff. The only thing is the room is crowded.

It was very nice to stay. The staffs were nice and its location is very good to walk to National mall :) If I had one more chance to travel to Washiongton D.C., I have no doubt to call here.

More of a friend's home than hostel. Price high for a top bunk in 10-bed-dorm but I would come back again and again. A friendly face is worth the world.
