Henry

Having stayed at several different capsule hotels in Japan, I was excited to see something similar being offered here. Hotels in DC are not cheap so this was perfect in terms of providing an affordable yet comfortable place to stay. Overall I was not disappointed and was happy with my visit. The staff were very friendly upon check-in and the room (while still somewhat under construction) was more than adequate (my biggest issue with the capsules in Japan were the flimsy mattresses; no such issue here). Ear plugs are recommended (and provided) if you’re a light sleeper; I was in the upper bunk which was fine for me. Lockers provided secure storage and everything is conveniently managed from an app on your phone (which is a step up from Japan).

The property was in the process of renovating. Even with construction going on, it was still a beautiful place to stay. The modern amenities are more in line with a chic 5-star hotel than a stereotypical hostel. The stay included breakfast which was cooked to order...amazing!
