"no lifts, but the stairs are\'nt that bad; kinda hard to find the first time but there is a really good bus service across the road; if you\'re going to eat out, there are absolutely loads of cheap good restaurants in adams morgan, dont bother looking for somewhere to eat in the city centre; staff are nice enough - the guy who runs it can be a bit sharp at times & apparently people have had problems in the past, but he genuinely has your best interests at heart." — source Hostelworld
"Really friendly and helpful staff, but no hot showers, some bugs, lack of soap in the restrooms, Internet console not working." — source Hostelworld
"no comfort, much fun and friendly staff." — source Hostelworld

"we slept in a room that was next to the air conditioning (that apparently didn't even work in our room since it was way too hot) so it was too noisy to sleep during the night, also the room could use a little more furniture (there was only a bed and a garbage can) all in all I thought it was too expensive for what we got, but the location is really good in the heart of adams morgan." — source Hostelworld
"But the location and price can't be beat. Go here if you want to stay in a vibrant DC neighborhood at the lowest price in town." — source Hostelworld
"Quite a good location, but hostel is very ugly, insecure feeling, in tiny room sleeps 9 people, the time stopped in seventies there." — source Hostelworld

"People are always hanging around the common room and it is a really good spot to find people to talk to or party with (the hostel is in Washington's number 1 party spot Adams Morgan." — source Hostelworld
"Rooms to small for 6 people and little dirty. Windows couldn�t be opened, just noisy AC brought "fresh air" into the room." — source Hostelworld
"Besides the bed the only furniture there was in my room was a chair: a small table and/or closet space would've been helpful." — source Hostelworld
"Common room was nice, and internet was available at the rooms, although the connection is a bit slow." — source Hostelworld
