    spacious dormitory
    family-friendly atmosphere
    limited activities

    Staying here with my family and our dog was fantastic! The accommodations were spacious and accommodated all of us comfortably. We really enjoyed the local parks nearby, which were perfect for taking our pup for walks and letting the kids play.

    My kids wished there were more kid-friendly activities on-site.

    unique pod features, convenient bus/train access, interesting privacy arrangements

    Showering facilities located two flights down can be inconvenient!!! Dusty pod vents leading to respiratory issues could use better cleaning!!! A clearer system for pod and locker availability would enhance the experience!!!

    privacy pod
    cozy common areas

    I loved the privacy of the large pod with great connections for charging devices. The cozy common areas are perfect for meeting fellow travelers and sharing stories.

    Felt very much at home, nothing too much trouble.

    delicious food
    comfortable lounge
    noisy nights

    I really enjoyed my stay here, especially the chicken empanadas and hot matcha at breakfast—absolutely delicious! There were comfy spots to relax, like the lounge and the rooftop, which made my downtime really enjoyable. Just a heads up, it could get a bit noisy at night from footsteps, but it didn’t ruin my overall experience. 😊

    comfortable pod
    spacious shower

    Solo traveler’s haven

    The sleeping pods were surprisingly comfortable and private, I felt like I was hidden away from the world. Also, the spacious showers were a revelation, quick to access when no one else was around, great for a solo traveler like me.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but considering the experience, it was still acceptable.

    great location
    noisy environment
    inconvenient showers

    During my three-night stay, I appreciated the privacy and comfort of the capsule beds, which provided a unique alternative to traditional bunk setups. The location was ideal, just steps from the metro, making it easy to access various parts of Washington, D.C. The staff was friendly and helpful, efficiently guiding me through the check-in process and even assisting with local transport arrangements.

    Noise from fellow guests was noticeable at times.

    unique dining options
    privacy pods
    great cleanliness
    noisy environment
    inconvenient showers

    The proximity to fantastic dining options like &pizza right next door and the rich flavors at Dukem Ethiopian Market had my taste buds dancing! Plus, the privacy of the pods offered an interesting twist compared to traditional hostels and made for a cozy sleep. The cleanliness was a definite win, keeping the vibe fresh and inviting.

    While it was all chill in the pods, the noise level from others moving around was pretty noticeable. Plus, the showers stashed away in the basement felt inconvenient and a bit like an afterthought in an otherwise sleek setup.

    Comfortable pods with great location

    I recently enjoyed my stay in a mixed dormitory room, and I loved the privacy and comfort the sleep pods provided. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the metro and other attractions. However, it would be great to have larger lockers for securing my belongings.

    privacy
    noisy pod
    thin walls

    The sleep pod in the 6-bed dorm was pretty cool. It gave me a good amount of privacy, and the cleanliness was on point! But yeah, it got a bit noisy if I bumped into it. Overall, a comfy spot to crash after a long day.
