Initially my experience was not good but after a day, manager Shato helped us a lot and other guests. He ensured to have cleaning and listened to our suggestions of improving. I must appreciate his approach. With those suggestions, if implemented properly, I truly believe that DC Hostel will improve. Best of Luck DC International Hostel 2.

Owner's nice enough, but the ability to conduct personal hygiene leaves much to be desired. Mattresses are all severely overdue to be replaced between serviceability and age. Shower water was always ice cold no matter what direction the faucet was turned. Any and all liquid soap was watered down; which is surprising considering we just went through a pandemic where just about everyone learned that you don't water down soap. Ever. Toilet paper takes roughly a business day to replace. Absolutely no paper towels at all. Ended up buying my own bad soap, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. so I could conduct what I thought was an acceptable level of hygiene. Cleaning that gets done is with minimal work/effort. Bedsheets also stand to be replaced based on how raggedy some of them are. I've stayed in hostels before. This is not a typical hostel experience; at least when comparing to hostels in Europe. If you're looking for a place to stay in DC without spending over 100 a night a hostel is the way to go, but bring your own cleaning/hygiene supplies.

This place was not good in any sense of the word. Maybe it's because I'm 6'2" with tattoos but i was told I had to schedule a time to use the bathroom as if I know when I'm going to need to urinate or have a bowel movement. Mattress seemed to be two yoga mats together and someone was living in the hostel. Yes, living. There was no bedroom fan or air conditioning and the place needed to be swept, mopped, dusted and vacuumed to even be considered clean but the walls needed to be washed, blinds needed to be fixed and door handles on doors to make this anyone stay at this place.

Ventilation system for bedroom... Blinds need to be fixed.

Poorly run, none of the amenities work, maintenance and cleanliness of the bathrooms etc wasn’t good either, flies in the shower and the whole place smells pretty bad in general. Didn’t feel safe in the place and didn’t trust the people I was staying with to leave my stuff there.

Disliked: Amenities

There was no toilet paper neither paper towel on the restrooms, if you need to use, you must have some with you; There is no locker to your personal items be locked while you are sleeping; The shared bedrooms are mixed so make sure to align your expectations; The access is just by stairs and all the bedrooms have extra stairs to access, so if you do have mobility issues you cannot consider this place; There is a small kitchen that you can use to cook your food if you plan to.
