Nice pod hostel!

It was my first time in a capsule hostel and I enjoyed my stay. Capsules are partially closed with a roller blind but you still have a lot of privacy inside your pod. Pods are comfortable enough and are equipped with a reading light. I was lucky and nobody snore so the room was very quiet. It is a convenient option to sleep in DC if you are traveling alone for a few days and don't mind spending time in a ~2x1x1m pod. Restrooms and showers were clean and staff was friendly.

I always love staying at this hostel. It’s my second time, but it’s always clean, check in and out is easy, and staff are always more than willing to help you out if you’re confused or in a rush.
