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! This is the second time I've stayed and it's the perfect location, at the perfect price, with perfect cleanliness, and overall AWESOME!

This place isn't bad, it's just not for me. If you're in your 20's and you're trying to save money and travel; this is the place for you. But as someone approaching 50, this place was not right for me. It was very clean, located in a nice area and literally 50 yards from a Metro stop (U St). Never saw staff because it's pretty much completely automated.
