Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is in a great location-wall to metro and restaurants but parking is a major pain. Don’t even try on a weekend nite- the garages are all full. The hotel is also a hostel- we stayed in the hotel. The room is super tiny and there is a ladder to the bed. It works- but there’s no dresser or really a place to put ur stuff. Staff is super nice and all is clean but a warning-there r night clubs on both sides which play music till 3 am and u can hear the vibration in ur room.

First time staying at a hostel - though I always get a private room - and I can say I’ve become a return visitor since staying for the first time last year. The room is small, like a micro hotel, with the bathroom sink in the main room, but it’s clean and has all the basics. The staff are helpful, and the common area is great for working or relaxing. It’s located at the edge of Kalorama, with the main road connecting to Adams Morgan - a lively area with plenty of dining options. One thing to note, and the main reason I don’t always stay here, is that it’s about a 15-minute walk from the Metro. It’s not ideal, even though there are bus options and the area is quite walkable.

The location was perfect. A neighborhood feel close to so many wonderful ethnic restaurants. At reception, Naz was sooo helpful! She assisted us in planning our time in DC - which was challenging because the government (and all the Smithsonian museums)!were closed. But- thanks to Naz- we had a great trip!

High expectations for this place, but the staff were very unwelcoming. My plan changed so I wanted to contact them for a potential refund, but after many attempts they never replied. I had no choice but tried to stick with my original plan. When I arrived the staff just stared at me struggling with my big luggages without offering any help. The room was extremely small and not worth the money at all. Will not come back
