This is a hostel marketed to a younger, remote-working crowd. There’s a trendy, plant-filled cafe and shop on the ground floor with co-working spaces and phone booths, and an outdoor plaza.
There’s also rooftop bar, free fitness classes, and a free movie theater as well. I was given a free drink coupon upon checking in.
The room was exactly as advertised and was very clean. As other reviews say, it can be a bit loud at night. There is live music until late that I could hear very clearly in my room. Many of the rooms also overlook a 6-lane road and I was woken by sirens and honking multiple times.
The location is very convenient. It’s right near a ton of shops and dining at union market. And is just a short walk to the H street corridor which has some great restaurants too. It’s also just a few blocks from the metro red line.
This is not the spot for you if you’re looking for a quiet stay. But you’re looking for a fun, high energy place to meet people, it’s great.
