Nice room. Great spot.
Great neighborhood. Quiet room. I really liked the self service aspect. Communal kitchen - coffee, tea. And access to extra towels and soap and stuff if you needed it.

Giant house converted to a hotel/hostel.
A little wacky but very pleasant and clean.
One note - be warned - there is no elevator!

I took three showers, total while there. First was right after i checked in. Had just gotten my haircut from my fav barber, Barrie @ Popular Cuts (my fav DC barbershop!) and the first two showers i took were luke warm/coldish. Not sure why. Maybe their infrastructure isn't up to the amount of folks staying there. Other than that, place was adorable. Would definitelymake referrals for HighRoad! Just wish i had stayed there on a Thursday. Free beers during Thursday Happy Hour! WOOT!!!!

Very comfortable bed. Room furnishings are minimalist, and quite nicely done. Lots of outlets and charge ports. Staff was friendly. Extra towels and toiletries on each floor.
Only drawback was the lack of hot water. The shower never got beyond tepid.

Fun little hostel/hotel in a cute neighborhood
I absolutely love this place and it is my go-to when staying in DC. The fixtures are a little worse for the wear, but it is clean and comfortable and the staff are very helpful. I stayed in a private room and haven't stayed in the hostel part, but it's really nice seeing all the folks from all over the world hanging out in the common areas. Be prepared, the private rooms are TINY and you have to climb a ladder to get to the bed loft. There is a separate fold-out mattress in the "downstairs" part if you aren't in a condition for climbing. The neighborhood is LOUD, but I'm a fun way... and they have free earplugs!

Small basic rooms that are in good condition with a comfortable bed and the needed amenities.Lobby with coffee, etc adds to the convenience. Helpful friendly staff. Only problem was the safe didn’t work in one of the 2 rooms we stayed in. Also that room was too humid.

What a delight!!
What an absolutely delightful experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect but the hotel was wonderful, and the common rooms were so warm and welcoming. I would suggest anyone stay here! It’s appropriate for single travelers, business travelers, and even small families. Very close to Restaurants and public transportation. And the coffee is fantastic. And I’m picky about coffee. :)

Trip with my sister to see a concert. Area was cute and close to the zoo but limited connection to public transport. This is a hostel but they do have private rooms. Newly updated, free water and coffee, nice staff who are helpful about dining and activities nearby. Lots of construction going on around the building when we were staying there but of course, this was not the fault of the property.
