This was such a great experience! My roommate was really interesting to the point where I think we will be friends going forward. The staff was very helpful and did everything to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. For anyone looking for a safe, lively place to stay that's near everything, I highly recommend Duo Housing!

I don't like this place; it's one of the cheapest options you'll find in the area, but if you can spend about $10 more, avoid this place and choose the other option.Here the bathrooms smell like pee, you can't wear shoes inside meaning you have to step in pee to use the bathroom or brush your teeth, the place is generally clean, it just smells bad everywhere.So if you have enough money to avoid it, I recommend it. The good thing is the location; it's close to public transport stations and bike rentals.

At the moment of payment my card was required, Lamanté was the one on front desk that night, I saw how he saved al the Numbers in my card, included the ccv but just clicked save on the panel they have for all the hosted people. That the only pay I made with my card all the other payments where with my Phone, so is the only way somebody can access to that data. After 3 days, somebody pays and Uber Eats order with that specific card, idk if it was Lamanté or someone else with access to that data on the front desk computer. I would like to leave this evaluation and let know the manager this kind of activities that can happend to other guest. All the other experiences where good.

everything was good except the lack of airflow in the sleeping area that made it almost impossible to sleep in, and resulted in everyone flocking to the communal spaces for relief. It was hotter in that area than outside. If you come here, bring a portable fan, without it I would not have been able to sleep here. besides that, it was great!! and the breakfast was delicious!

It was very affordable compared to hotels nearby. The breakfast could use a little more variety, all I got was pancakes but even so it was nice to have free breakfast. It does get very noisy both outdoors and indoors at night, but the other guests were really nice. The staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend if you need something affordable and a place to just sleep. If you need privacy and a place to relax, you won’t get it as you do share the rooms with other people.

Plus: I liked the location, close to downtown D.C. and the metro. It was convenient to leave my suitcase there until my departure from D.C. at 5 pm. It was quiet, clean and safe. Minus: The wifi was sometimes really slow. So was the internet at the PC upstairs. Booking and payment was somewhat complicated - no cash possible, which is unusual for hostels.

This felt safe overall, but the codes to get in didn’t always work, the rooms were very stuffy and smelly. Creaky beds and stairs. We also were not allowed to keep certain items in the bridge. There were also no ice makers, just trays. Too expensive for a hostel.

This was the first time I stayes at a hostel. I was a bit apprehensive about sharing a room with complete strangers and using shared facilities. But now I regret having lost the chance to do that in my previous trips. The place is beautiful, clean, well equipped and meticulously maintained. The staff are real gems. Truly caring and helpful. Cleaning ladies are salt of the earth. They prepare you pancakes every morning and then clean every surface and crevice spotless. And the fellow travellers are incredibly considerate. So if you are looking for an excellent place centrally located walking distance to all attractions and some lovely conversations with people from all over the world look no further. This is it.
