16 October 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The kitchen was extremely well equipped, the rooms were nice and it was more of a home than a hostel. It was slightly out the way but really close to the metro which was good. It was a little clique as most people seemed to stay there for months at a time and know each other but there was still enough people to talk to and everyone was very friendly.

13 October 2009 Mareen would recommend this property

Liked: accommodating and easy going staff. Almost homely atmosphere, but in a cool way. The kitchen provides almost everything you might need (alos oils, pasta, tee..) and supermarkets to provide you with the rest are in walking distance, as is the metro station. All in all the best hostel I have seen in the US!

08 September 2009 Alexandra would recommend this property

Liked: This unmarked house in a residential neighbourhood feels more like dropping by at a friend's friend's place for a night than a "proper" hostel--in a good way. You have to take your shoes off at the door, a courtesy observed by all guests, but the casual, homey atmosphere doesn't mean less cleanliness or poor service. A staffer is at the desk 24/7 to help with questions or complaints. There's not much to do or see or eat in the area except an organic grocery store, a gas station, and a few fast food Chinese + Carribbean joints, but the location is well connected via the Green/Yellow lines.

08 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I would recommend the LOFTSTEL to anyone who comes to DC and doesn't know anyone else there. I myself am a little shy and not the first person to make friends with strangers but the common areas offer many opportunities to talk to other people and get to know new friends. Nevertheless, it also offers quiet areas if you want to be alone, so you could easily stay there for longer!

18 July 2009 Kathleen would recommend this property

Liked: A really clean and nice hostel! Shoes off at the front door, beds are really comfortable and the blanket is great You can really tell that they recently rennovated the place. People who stay here are usually around college age and are staying at LOFSTEL long term doing internships or jobs in DC. So a lot of people know each other but everyone is really nice to travellers too and include you in group activities. :) A really great atmosphere. The only downside is that it's in a pretty shady neighborhood. However, I feel that the hostel is safe though because it requires a door code to get into the building. Also, there are RAs that live in the building 24/7/

01 December 2008 Tibor J. would recommend this property

Liked: I was impressed about the safety and security. Being from Europe and staying many Hostels I can say that it was the most safest place that I have ever been. It do need a little bit more space in the room to keep the belongings because the closet was not easy to access.
