City House Hostel Washington DC

It was okay I guess. It was relatively clean and the staff was okay. 2 of them talked bad about us to each other, thinking they were too quiet to hear. They weren't. Our room was a private room and there was a ground prong to a plug stuck in one socket, which is dangerous. There was a leak coming from the heater in our room. There were 5 bathrooms of varying appliances. Some had a working shower. Some had a working sink. Some had a working toilet. I think only one in the whole hostel had all 3. I know at least one sink and one toilet were out of order. And we were there for days. There was NO parking. We had to park in a parking deck with cost us about $90 to park for 3 nights. Other than the 2 dudes, the other staff members were so nice. The location was great. The walk to the train station and the national mall were not bad at all. There were some lovely grocery stores and an amazing pizza place very close. The price I think was a little steep for the low level of accommodations the hostel offers. There were events every night but if you don't drink, there's nothing for you there. Overall, it was an okay place to stay, but I won't be coming to them again when I come back to DC.

I stayed at the hostel twice. The hostel is located near to the Union station. Room rates are very reasonable. The staff is very helpful. Everyday they used to conduct small events. They do provide lockers (you have to bring your lock). The hostel doesn't allow to wear footwear inside the premises (it's suggested to bring your flip-flops). CCTVS are installed everywhere. I had a very comfortable stay and look forward to stay at the hostel in future as well.

Best hostel I've been so far. Everyone there were super friendly. It is clean. Everyone is respectful to each other so won't have the problem of people being too loud late at night. The only down side is the WiFi is slow. Definitely will be back here

The hostel was cheap and that's why we went there. We booked the 12 bed mixed dorm for three nights. The house was ok, nothing special, it has a kitchen and livingroom that look decent and it's all quite old but clean. The staff was nice and helpful. The only thing that really bothered us were the people who stayed there... most only for one night and with some we had doubts if they really were travellers... that gave us some worries about leaving our stuff unattended in the room. Oh and on the 3rd floor the WiFi basically doesn't work. I will not stay at this Hostel again.
