Over all was a nice place, but the restroom area is literally infront of the front desk, where everyone can hear you, the showers are dirty and public and the noise inside the building is a lot, I end up paying another hotel.

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.
