It's cleaner and more well-maintained than most hostels I've stayed in! That's not a high bar to clear, I know, but it's not an unpleasant place. Many of guests don't necessarily adhere to the quiet hour rules though - there were people being pretty loud in the common area as late as 2 AM. Ultimately, for the price and location - only a few stops down from the Capitol and National Mall - it's hard to beat.
