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! This is the second time I've stayed and it's the perfect location, at the perfect price, with perfect cleanliness, and overall AWESOME!

Not bad

Check in was a little complicated. There's afternoon hours where there is no front desk person. I had to pay for my room still so I couldn't check in until I did. Trying to pay through their app was horrible bc the agent was taking 15-20 minutes to reply to each message. Luckily a front desk person showed up and helped me with my payment. I got in the room and didn't know I had to use a specific pod. I just took one that seemed unused and reset. They told me later I took someone else's pod, we ended up just switching. Just make sure you get your room number and pod number to avoid the confusion. It was comfortable in the pod. The chargers in there didn't work. Also, you aren't allowed to bring food or drink in.

Such a lovely cute place. Pod was super clean, rooms are busy with 18 but so quiet.. the individual vents and slight hum blocks the noise. The electric lockers are a bit of a pain but the staff is super helpful. I will definitely stay here again.

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.

Was a nice and clean hostel. I took the option of using the capsule and felt safe. Unlike other capsule hostels your atual capsule doesnt lock. It instead had a pull don curtain where you head / feet are depedning on how you sleep but the capsule are all in a locked room so you feel safe.
