Explore the nation’s capital on a budget with a Washington D.C. hostel vacation

Bordering Maryland and Virginia, Washington D.C. is a melting pot of American Pride. Where else can boast neoclassical monuments such as the Franklin D. Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson Memorials right on their doorstep? Best of all, Washington D.C. hostels are one of the most affordable accommodation options in the capital, so you won’t burn through your budget.

About Washington D.C. hostels

Whether you stay close to the Capitol or out in the quieter suburbs, a Washington D.C. hostel puts you in the heart of all the action. Choose from a range of hostel options, with many offering large kitchen areas, cosy common areas and family rooms. And don’t worry about leaving your pets at home – many Washington D.C. hostels are pet-friendly, too.

What to do in Washington D.C.

Washington D.C. is replete with iconic landmarks to visit. From the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I have a dream” speech, to the White House, one of the most photographed buildings in the world. At the end of the day, make your way to D.C’s oldest neighborhood, Georgetown, where cool, trendy bars are the order of the day.

Eating out

As the nation’s capital city, Washington D.C. boasts a huge range of eateries, from small diners to high-end restaurants. Just take a short walk from your Washington D.C. hostel to find a plethora of restaurants offering Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Lebanese cuisines, and more. Head to the West End or Dupont Circle for some of the very best in town, and don’t leave the capital without trying a half-smoke sausage in a bun – the best ones are available from food trucks in the National Mall.

Shopping

Boutiques, malls and independent stores are dotted all over the capital, making this a veritable shopper’s paradise. On your Washington D.C. hostel stay, why don’t you head to Georgetown where stylish stores such as Billy Reid and Calypso St. Barth offer relaxed boho-chic essentials. For something a little different, make your way to Maryland where historic districts such as Ellicott City deliver speciality items, from handmade jewelry to unique boutiques.
