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.
