Over all was a nice place, but the restroom area is literally infront of the front desk, where everyone can hear you, the showers are dirty and public and the noise inside the building is a lot, I end up paying another hotel.

I stayed at U Street Hostel for the second time, and it never fails to be a great accommodation for shorter stays. The cafe is perfect for early morning starts and there's ample space to work on the first floor. Will definitely book again when I come back to DC.

Pros: Amazing staff, clean, and convenient( subway right there). Everything you need at the perfect price Con: AC was a little weak. They have it at like 72 but in the pods it’s really 75-77. This is just a little too warm for me.

U Street Hostel is the place to stay! The staff is AMAZING, having the GOKI app to communicate and check-in is perfection, and a special shoutout to Ty at the front desk! This is the second time I've stayed and it's the perfect location, at the perfect price, with perfect cleanliness, and overall AWESOME!
