26 April 2010 Dejie would recommend this property

Liked: The room is very big. It can contain more than 8 people in same room. If you want to have good rest there, you'd better choose some high class hotel. But if you want to have fun, this is your choice.

Melanie Comeau

08 April 2010 Melanie would recommend this property

Liked: Great back yard with hammock and plenty of room to socialize, couches on patio and patio sets to eat at. There is a balcony on the 2nd story. The property is extremely close to a metro station (Takoma) making it very easy to get around the city. The owner and staff were very friendly. We stayed over the Easter weekend and they organized an easter egg hunt with prizes as well as egg-painting in the evening along with an Easter supper free of charge! It was great place to get to know people from all over the world.

Customer review

02 April 2010

Liked: The only good thing was leaving this hostel. There is no security at all in this hostel. Anyone can get in as the door remains wide open until late at night and there are no room locks. There is only 3 bathrooms with showers for an estimated 70 people. So if three people shower at one time, you cant use the toilet. Ridiculous! The kids sheets provided are so worn out and thin and lets not forget to mention the plastic protectors they have on the beds. 1 fan per room of 8 people in the middle of August...disgusting! There is one computer to use for the internet. I cant believe this hostel is rated so highly...beware!

Liked: not much. there was a mouse problem at the house. the kitxhen and loungeroom had mice running across the floor whenever we were there. also ppl are permitted to smoke in the house which was not good at all. in this day and age no one should be allowed to smoke inside!

Brett Duncan

20 January 2010 Brett would recommend this property

Liked: Great place with a very social and friendly atmosphere. Right by the Metro stop and just 10-15min into all the main site and museums. The only downer is the lack of bathrooms means queing in the mornings. But that didn't proove too much hassle. If I return to DC, I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Amy Reynolds

05 December 2009 Amy would recommend this property

Liked: The atmosphere was pretty good in this hostel, nice laid back vibe and good facilities. Cleanliness was not so good though, chewing gum in my bed and a used earplug in my boyfriend's bed. Staff were ok, but not particularly friendly. Great location, steps away from subway and the area seemed fine. Our big problem with this hostel is that you cannot lock your dorm door. In all the other hostels we have stayed in you all had a key or card to get in the dorm but here our door did not even shut.
