6/10 Good

Good location, coffee shop in site is good. rooms are small and a bit crowed. The showers are in different floor so you have to take the elevators two or three floor to shower, it is not convenient at all!. Its ok to say for one day but not very comfortable more than that.

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.

Clean and comfortable and great host communication. Only complaint is that the sleeping pods don’t have working outlet to charge my phone, or at least mine wasn’t working. Otherwise, great stay

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!
