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.

Clean and comfortable and great host communication. Only complaint is that the sleeping pods don’t have working outlet to charge my phone, or at least mine wasn’t working. Otherwise, great stay

This a great if your looking for somewhere affordable and to hangout. Its especially great for college students. The women's shower was cold after the first day of my stay, no matter how long i let it run. But, other then that, the staff was great.

This place isn't bad, it's just not for me. If you're in your 20's and you're trying to save money and travel; this is the place for you. But as someone approaching 50, this place was not right for me. It was very clean, located in a nice area and literally 50 yards from a Metro stop (U St). Never saw staff because it's pretty much completely automated.

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!

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.

Liked: Amenities
Mattress, pillows, and duvet were very comfortable. Hot water in shower was good. Wi-Fi worked well. Walkable to downtown and various public transportation options. Property was loud and not nearly as nice looking as in its photos. Room was too warm with no way to adjust temperature. Sink was too small to brush teeth over without hitting my head on the mirror.

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!
