Has large rooms, but try to get a room on the lower floors otherwise you will walk endless stairs. The pasta evening was particularly nice.

Hostel response:
Dear Stair-Climbing Hosteller: Yes, many hostellers opt to take the stairs, even to upper floors, as our elevator is quite slow. Glad you liked our Free Pasta Night! ~ Mark Schneider, General Manager HI-DC

When I checked in, the front desk person was not very friendly. Then when I went up to the room, the bunk I had been assigned was unmade and had a dirty towel on it. The front desk person changed me to a different bunk that had been made.

Hostel response:
Dear Quick-Bed-Change Hosteller: I am truly sorry that we were not friendlier, though I am glad we were able to get you into a proper bed quickly. Thanks for the note! ~ Mark Schneider, General Manager HI-DC

dormitory room was dark.

Hostel response:
Dear "Bright" Hosteller: Unfortunately, it is true that some of our rooms have a single, overhead fluorescent light. We are looking into bed lamps, but that will be a many-month project. Thanks for the input! ~ Mark Schneider, General Manager HI-DC

Fantastic breakfast! Bathrooms were very clean which was great. Wifi was a little sketchy at times but still good for a free service. Jeff's monument tour was excellent!

Hostel response:
Dear Pleased Hosteller: Thanks for telling us about your favorite features! And good news: we will have the issues with the free Wi-Fi settled by the end of the month. ~ Mark Schneider, General Manager HI-DC

A brilliant hostel. Very clean, fairly modern shower facilities, decent breakfast, comfortable and well-sized rooms. Events and tours run by the volunteer Mark were a really good way of meeting people. Would recommend to anyone going to Washington, and would definately stay here again if I come back to DC!

Dear Brilliant Hosteller: Thanks for the fantastic review! Please do come back soon! ~ Mark Schneider, General Manager HI-DC

I liked the fact that the bedrooms were sectioned off. I've been at two other hostels where the bunks were in a large open room. The sectioned room allowed for more privacy and an easier time in sectioning off the use of overhead lights. The staff was very helpful when I thought that I may have lost my cell phone while there. THey checked the room at least twice concentrating on corners and under the bed. I also used the ourdoor bike pavillion one night and felt that it was a "safe" place.

Hostel response:
Dear Cycling Hosteller: Glad you liked the room and the new Bike Shelter. Most of all, I am glad that we were able to help you find your cell phone. Thanks for sharing your experiences! ~ Mark Schneider, General Manager HI-DC
