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!

Overall, I had a good stay. The USB outlet in my capsule didn't work, but the staff was very friendly and helpful! I will be staying here again!

I got a really good vibe from my stay at U Hostel. The check-in was smooth and the staff really kind and welcoming. The coffee shop inside was a huge bonus and is fairly priced. I had a cracking nights sleep. It is hands down the comfiest bed, duvet and pillow I've ever come across at a hostel - all memory foam and very cosy. The location is a little while away from the attractions, but I walked and got the subway and was not an issue at all. There's a few great food spots less than a minute walk away too - including the famous Ben's Chilli spot!

Had to try it out and stay here, and it was just a super nice experience. A very comfortable sleep, an awesome location with the metro station literally right there, and the most chill cafe/lobby vibes.

Such a lovely cute place. Pod was super clean, rooms are busy with 18 but so quiet.. the individual vents and slight hum blocks the noise. The electric lockers are a bit of a pain but the staff is super helpful. I will definitely stay here again.

This hostel is great if you just need somewhere to crash during your trip, it's right outside of the metro, and close to a lot of landmarks & shops.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had to check in on my own with my phone outside in the cold. I think that's inefficient. Also, the showers were quite bad and the whole bathroom was terribly cold, as there was a cold draft coming in. I liked the capsules, they're comfortable. Also the lady at the front desk was great, props to her, she was there to open the door, manage the check-in and -out and worked at the café as well.
