If you know what to expect and plan ahead, hostels can be perfect. It was my first time in a capsule hotel, but I’ve stayed in hostels around the world many times. The location of this one is fantastic. There are so many restaurants, cafés, and grocery stores within a short walk. There’s a metro stop on the same corner, and it’s easy to find electric scooters and bikes for rent just outside the door. I actually had one busy day where I walked all the way to the Holocaust Museum, and it was a beautiful walk. It’s far so know that in advance. There was plenty of nightlife, although I didn’t partake in any of that. I was in town for a conference, which was 1 mile away, and pride, which was one block over. It was awesome to see so many homes and businesses decorated! The staff were awesome and I actually made friends with one of them! I was there for a full week so it was easy to do. The capsules themselves were much roomier than I expected them to be, probably 4‘ x 4‘ x 7‘. And once I got the hang of the plugs, I was able to charge my devices easily. The bathrooms on the third floor were always clean and available when I needed one, as were the showers. I always managed to get the accessible shower , so I had plenty of room for my clothes and whatnot. The shower Water pressure was amazing. Far better than my one at home! The mattress and linens were fabulous and very comfortable. The Wi-Fi was fast and I never had trouble connecting. Highly recommended!

If you are up for a hostel experience, this is a sweet place to stay and sleep in a cubicle. The showers in the basement are as good as any health club for privacy. I love the simplicity of staying here.

For a capsule hotel on U Street, this can't be beat! I will definitely stay here again despite the locale which, while it has many charms, is a bit sketch around midnight. Really clear check in, very clean pods which were surprisingly quiet and comfortable inside, and no line for the bathroom at 4am.
