The actual room the pods were in was very crowded, especially once people bring in their suitcases etc. I just had a little bag so it was easy to just pull it into my pod but if you have a lot of stuff you might find it annoying trying to go in and out of your bags as there's not much for space (or everyone else will find it annoying haha). The common area was a bit shabby but fine, everything worked.

Good value for money (for DC, which is expensive!). The little pods are nice and very comfy. Great location by the subway.

Showers are shared and there is no socket to charge phone inside capsules, and capsules doesn't have door that closes and opens with card as I expected, just sliding curtain. There was only 4 sockets for the whole room. Location are a bit far away from most popular attractions

Capsules; shower room, restrooms and lifts where clean and mattress was comfortable and there was kitchen with sink, microwave, fridge and table on my floor(usually in other hostels there is only one shared kitchen in the first floor only)

No microwave or kettle would be good if there was a little kitchen area that is available to use as I wanted to make tea there was hot water but it had coffee in the machine, lockers where a bit dodgy, and also staff not always available when needed checking in was not easy as I was only sent confirmation for one of our pods had to wait on a message to get the other checked in. Phones do not charge very well in the pod.

Loved the idea of staying in a capsule always wanted to and such a different experience to have

The hostel is clean and well-maintained. It’s a good choice if you want to visit Washington without spending too much on accommodation. The capsules provide the essentials, and the location is convenient to explore the city. Great value for budget travelers

The showers are in a different floor, no staff at the lobby all the time, difficult procedure with locker’s passwords that expire every time.

Very clean. Comfortable capsule bed and quite. Nice cafe at the lobby and nice neighborhood near to the city center

It can be difficult to reach staff after hours other than that everything's peachy. Stayed here like eight times.

The location, the fridge, microwave, elevators, the people that stay there, the coffee shop and bed comfort.

More choices for breakfast. The breakfast addon might not be worth it.

Great value for money. Great vibe a d location.

No cooking utensils. There is just a microwave to heat up the food you buy.

The accommodation is clean and easy location to access tourist attractions in Washington. They provide guest with towel, soap and toothbrush.

There was an underlying smell in the shower area.

I enjoyed the location. The hostel was convenient to everything I needed.

My pod didn't charge neither my phone nor my portable battery. I had to request to change my pod when they did it - they forgot to send me my reservation number for "Gokey", which is the app that opens the main door and your room door. Without it you won't be able to enter the building or your room. Having it was fun - I could text reception directly and they'd reply fast since it's a chat room. In that app you can also see their coffee shop menu. But I personally prefer old traditional plastic card that opens you the door or just simple password. I didn't like that showers were only on underground L floor. I didn't like that reception people rotated too often - cuz most of them unpaid. They use some kind of app "work and travel" where you can stay at hostel for free if you agree to work couple of hours per day. Fridge on second floor were small. The entire neighborhood were full of black clubs and were very noisy at night. You can sleep inside but going outside at night would always - somebody will always argue or fight, motorcycles will pass by, music playing.

It was room for girls. It was safe. They run AC 24 hours so was relatively cold. It was good location. Bus will take you to capitol hill.

Clean rooms/pods. Showers clean and stocked well.

the app to get in the rooms was a bit erratic and was the main door

did not use

Stayed in June 2025

Not really soundproof as advertised, heard much of the people in the room itself and the people in the capsules next to me, but with ear plugs definitely manageable

Capsules were nice and clean, nice to have some privacy, easy check in and out, had everything I needed, very comfortable beds

Stayed in June 2025

Shower facilities could use a refresh.

The staff was spectacular and kind. Opportunity to drop and store bags prior to check in and after check out to make the most of your time in the city. The location is exceptional- close to train station, walkable to eateries and great spots.

It was hard to find a place to plug in my phone to charge it. There were not many outlets in the room, and the one I found was in a strange location behind a pod. It would be helpful if there was some instruction on how to acease outlets. The lighting by the shared sinks and mirrors was dim. It would be helpful to be able to turn on a brighter light, even if it weren’t on all the time. No one was unpleasant, but there was a strange vibe of no one talking much to each other either. That might just have been that particular mix of guess that night, but it felt weird. On the other hand, people left their luggage out, and there didn’t seem to be any question of doubting the trustworthiness of the other guests.

This is a very affordable place in an expensive city. This was my first time sleeping in a pod. It’s a neat experience. It would’ve been a little easier if I weren’t on the top deck. I didn’t mind climbing down the steps, but I wasn’t sure if I was disturbing my neighbors. However, I didn’t hear any complaints. The showers were clean. The checkout was easy. It was great that the hostel was located so close to a metro stop.

Pods creaked alot when other people moved. Steps seemed to be loud when people used them to get up onto the top pods. (May have just been the way those specific individuals used them?). - headphones solve both of these issues, some noise expected in shared rooms.

Pods were spacious and individually temperature controlled. 2 USB ports. Bag storage before room is ready. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy check in / out Good location for public transport & sightseeing. Plenty food options close by.

My only complaint was the air con was on too much in the communal area of the room. I felt like I was in the Arctic

Lovely property, great location, nice cafe by reception, great value for money, comfy pods.

Stayed in June 2025

The area is a bit loud but nothing the hostel could do, the AC on the ceiling is running all day and night and there is no way to set up in the room only to cover the vents with provided plate

Well located only 2 mins away from U Street metro station, the staff was really friendly

The charging connectors in my cabin didn't work

Common area floors creaked a little, scared of waking guests. My pod’s air vent needed cleaning, was dusty. But the room itself was air conditioned so I didn’t use it no worries.

Great location, right around the corner from metro station. Checkin was seamless, QR code guided you through self-checkin. Pods were comfy, rooms were quiet at night. Staff were so nice and accommodating. Cafe area was a nice vibe to just chill and lounge with other guests.

Be aware that showers are on a different floor - however these were one of the cleanest showers I’ve used in a hostel so no complaints here

Great location, cute coffee shop in the lobby, clean with great extras like free towels, blow drier, great internet, locker and convenient self check-in! One of the better hostels I stayed in. Would totally stay here again!

Stayed in May 2025

Some areas looked a little tired but I always saw staff making a good effort to clean. Showers down in the basement was a bit inconvenient but not a major issue. Maybe some more events for solo travellers looking to socialise would be ideal. No standard mains plug in the pod so remember a usb type a lead to charge phone/electronics!

Pods were comfortable and felt more private than standard bunks. Excellent location with metro station around the corner and plenty of restaurants/bars nearby. Staff were generally welcoming.
