I honestly love this place! It is really clean, having a pod to myself to sleep is great bc it feels like I’m alone, instead of being in a room full of people. The staff is friendly and the amenities are nice. My only complaint would have to be there the pods got a little hot and even the little fan you can rent did not help much. Also the area it is located is next to the police station from what I’ve gathered and it can be a tad noisy if you’re someone who wakes easily to noise. Aside from this it is a great place to stay and this was my third time staying here because I love it so much!

I first arrive with a last minute reservation and Christian (African American at the front desk) was very stand off ish towards me. I specifically ask for a non coed room and he replies “would you rather bunk with a bunch of dudes”, so he places me in a room of women. One of the girls who work there is yelling screaming and cursing into the phone and is very aggressive and ghetto. I get moved to another room with out warning and I am unable to use my key card. I understand why a room of women would feel uncomfortable with a male in the room. The floors were disgusting nothing is clean and there are no doors; so no privacy. I was accused of trying to “blow up the building”. Someone supposedly heard me say that but none saw it (probably because I didn’t say that to anyone). This sounds ridiculous all together but with all the craziness going on I can see it happening there due to the lack of efforts the staff puts in. The manager was the least bit professional wasn’t dressed in proper attire and everyone had B.O. you definitely get what you pay for and next time I’m going to a good hotel that respects their customers. Zero aloha, zero stars I wouldn’t go back nor recommend this spot to anyone.

U street hostel made our Washington DC trip possible. Price was great for a large private room with twin size bunk beds, shower, toilet and sink. Although their website prohibits children, my kids were allowed probably because this room has a private non sharing bathroom. I had some thing shipped to the hostel on the day we arrived and they accepted the package. The room was clean, mattresses were comfy, and the room was cool in temperature. You have to add the GOKI app for the keys to the main door and room key to check in There is a Walgreens across the street and a trader’s joe about 1.5 blocks away. There is a refrigerator, microwave, dining table and chairs on the second floor. The U street green line metro is right around the corner. The bus is also across the street. I do wish the maximum length of stay was longer than 7 days.
