A fantastic place for professionals. Hard to call it a hostel. I travel to dc every other week for work and always stay here. I have met doctors, scientists from foreign countries studying at the smithsonian, economists, peace corps volunteers just back from their service, and political activists looking to make a difference. Always spotlessly clean, always easy access, this place is awesome from professionals needing a quiet place of like minded believers to use as a base camp. Easy access to blue, silver, and orange metro puts you anywhere in dc quickly. Not for travelers and partying. This is the hostel for professionals.
