I had a great experience at this hotel. The location was awesome with many restaurants around, although it could get a bit loud. The rooms were small but cozy, perfect for hanging out and watching TV. The service was top-notch, the staff were super helpful and friendly. The dining options were somewhat boring, but at least there was a grocery store nearby. Overall, a good value for the money spent.

My stay at the hostel was really pleasant overall. The rooms were comfy and spacious with individual light and power sockets, but there was a constant musty smell due to towels drying out. The location was fantastic, especially for my conference at the nearby Marriott Wardman Park hotel. The service was exceptional with very friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience, however, was a bit basic for my taste. Despite the minor downsides, the hostel provided a great value for the money.
