I had a really wonderful time staying here! There was some initial difficulty with my check-in, but everyone was on it immediately and it was quickly resolved. The facilities are clean and comfortable. As a newer business, the building is still undergoing some upgrades, but in the meantime everything is more than functional. What puts this place over the top in my view is the friendliness of the staff - particularly Jim, the property manager. The atmosphere is warm and homey. The location is very close to the Capitol Mall, Smithsonian museums and other attractions. What isn't close by is easily accessible by using DC's extremely safe, intuitive and user friendly public transportation system. I would definitely stay here again!

Horrible

What a horrible experience! It was awful from start to finish. I booked a room at the I Street hostel. When I got there, they told me that the construction hadn't been finished and I had to go to the U Street capsule hostel. In other words, I booked one place and was forced to stay at another, with the excuse that “it's not that far away”. To keep me quiet, they allocated me a private room from Monday to Friday. On Thursday I received a message that they were removing all my things from the room because my days in the private room were over, they literally put my things in garbage bags. I found this humiliating, wrong to touch people's things and unethical. Their excuse was that I “didn't understand what they said”. It's very easy to blame the foreigner and say that she didn't understand, when clearly I was going to stay in the private room until Friday. They ignored me on the chat from start to finish. They didn't respond, the GOKI app didn't work properly. After all this I asked for my money back, which is very obvious. They changed my location, didn't tell me, ignored me, put my stuff in trash bags and blamed me for it. What did they do? They ignored me. Terrible experience, everyone said that the other hostel (due) is much better and the people are at least honest and decent. I still want my money back.
