U Street Hostel is the place to stay! The staff is AMAZING, having the GOKI app to communicate and check-in is perfection, and a special shoutout to Ty at the front desk!

Had to try it out and stay here, and it was just a super nice experience. A very comfortable sleep, an awesome location with the metro station literally right there, and the most chill cafe/lobby vibes.

Great hostel!!! Super clean and fresh. Lovely common areas and easy access.
Melanie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Spend the money for a real hotel

Get what you pay for I guess? Really cheap but it was uncomfortable and weird. Felt partially built. It was hot and muggy in the room, even hotter in the pod. Place was relatively clean at least, bathroom was nice. Chargers didn’t work inside the pod, the fan did little to circulate air. Just spend the money on a real hotel
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Plumbing was being checked so there was no hot water for showers. Front desk tried to take advantage. It’s nice and very clean but definitely needed a few improvements. Usually people from Europe staying.

The check in was a little too complicated for me as it was online. But the rest all good!
