I was rather surprised with the layout of the room and the space in general. The cafe in the lobby was particularly nice. I'd stay here again when I'm in D.C.
Jason, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Note that you need a different confirmation code to self check-in, the one from expedia does not work, use the other one, the AI agent did not understand what i was asking, I had to get connected with a real person to solve this problem.

Justyna, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Over all was a nice place, but the restroom area is literally infront of the front desk, where everyone can hear you, the showers are dirty and public and the noise inside the building is a lot, I end up paying another hotel.
David, 3-night trip

Porntummarot, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I stayed at U Street Hostel for the second time, and it never fails to be a great accommodation for shorter stays. The cafe is perfect for early morning starts and there's ample space to work on the first floor. Will definitely book again when I come back to DC.
Abigail, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Pros: Amazing staff, clean, and convenient( subway right there). Everything you need at the perfect price Con: AC was a little weak. They have it at like 72 but in the pods it’s really 75-77. This is just a little too warm for me.
Pieter, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very hipster
Brandon, 2-night trip
