HI-DC LOVES GROUPS!
Groups that consist of at least 10 travelers can take advantage of special assistance from our Group Sales and Services Staff. We recognize that every group comes to Washington, DC with different needs and preferences, and it is HI-DC’s intent to help make your experience in the Nation’s Capital a unique and memorable one. All you have to do is ask!
ACCOMMODATIONS We offer safe, clean and comfortable dormitory-style rooms. You may choose from male, female or co-ed rooms, all with single-sex bathrooms on the guestroom floor. Rooms may have between four and ten (10) beds, with free in-room lockers, linens and towels for every hosteller. We do have a limited number of private rooms (some with private bathroom), though these tend to reserve several weeks or months in advance. The hostel has no age restrictions for groups, though hostellers under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult parent or chaperone.
PROGRAMMING A hostel is more than a place to sleep. It is a dynamic traveling experience where you can meet people from around the world. Also, we would be happy to help you plan activities and find ways to reduce the overall cost of the trip. Some of the ways we can help include the following: • Itinerary planning • Tips for making the best use of free hostel amenities, like the fully-equipped, self-service kitchen • Pre-purchase of tickets to attractions • Free tours of the sights and neighborhoods • Contact information for the major activities in the area • Movie Nights at the hostel
