Liked: Location is really good and the atmosphere is great. I really appreciate the activities they organize, that allows to know other people staying in the hostel and makes the atmosphere even better.

Disliked: There's only two things I didn't like about the hostel. The forst is that beds are a bit noisy. I didn't want to move a lot because I was affraid to wake up the persone above. And also that you have to pay if you want to leave your luggage for some hours after you check-out. I've been in other hostels and I've never had to pay. Appart from that, I really liked my stay at HI Washington, I totally recommend it!

Liked: Breakfast was one of the best I have had in years of staying at hostels around the world. Location is very good and central. Staff is quite friendly.

Disliked: Pub crawl was very disorganised, the tour leader came an hour too late and didn't wait for all participants. There are very noisy ventilators in rooms so don't stay here if you are a light sleeper.
