I mean the place is sparkling clean at all times. The location could not possibly be any more downtown then right next to Capital One arena where I wanted to go. The capsules provide a lot of privacy and in a place like Washington DC where everything is super expensive it's nice to find something for under $70 while everything else is sold out and hotels are in $300 plus category. I was literally able to book the reservation and check in remotely but staff is also super friendly and helpful.

The hostel was great, and everyone was very kind. Free breakfast and sound proofing in the capsules was great. Two notes: your phone is your key for EVERYTHING so make sure it's charged/you have a backup charger. Also, bring toilet paper if you don't want to use a bidet.

Awesome capsules though fan control inside would be nice as it got a little hot and stuffy. Bidets are nice but nothing to wipe the wet after or to clean the seat if needed. Awesome free breakfast. Great value for right downtown.

The property was in the process of renovating. Even with construction going on, it was still a beautiful place to stay. The modern amenities are more in line with a chic 5-star hotel than a stereotypical hostel. The stay included breakfast which was cooked to order...amazing!

The staff was super friendly and supportive. Fresh pancakes are made every morning. The sleeping pods were something new for me and I liked it. It seemed like not all of them were fully built, as the curtains weren't installed yet, but that might be just a questions of a couple more days, providing you with a bit more privacy. The location worked out superb for me. China town is just across the sreeet, offering plenty of food options. The main seights are still in walking distance.

Having stayed at several different capsule hotels in Japan, I was excited to see something similar being offered here. Hotels in DC are not cheap so this was perfect in terms of providing an affordable yet comfortable place to stay. Overall I was not disappointed and was happy with my visit. The staff were very friendly upon check-in and the room (while still somewhat under construction) was more than adequate (my biggest issue with the capsules in Japan were the flimsy mattresses; no such issue here). Ear plugs are recommended (and provided) if you’re a light sleeper; I was in the upper bunk which was fine for me. Lockers provided secure storage and everything is conveniently managed from an app on your phone (which is a step up from Japan).

I had a really wonderful time staying here! There was some initial difficulty with my check-in, but everyone was on it immediately and it was quickly resolved. The facilities are clean and comfortable. As a newer business, the building is still undergoing some upgrades, but in the meantime everything is more than functional. What puts this place over the top in my view is the friendliness of the staff - particularly Jim, the property manager. The atmosphere is warm and homey. The location is very close to the Capitol Mall, Smithsonian museums and other attractions. What isn't close by is easily accessible by using DC's extremely safe, intuitive and user friendly public transportation system. I would definitely stay here again!
