The check in process was tedious and a bit confusing. No one was at the check in counter to help or answered the phone when I called to get clarification on how to check in. The location was great, the place was clean, and there was a code to get in the building and our room which made me feel safe, but no employee was around to help.

Caroline was most gracious & helpful, particularly on arrival. As the elevator was broken, she took my bags up to the 3rd floor, which was great as I am recovering from a fractured arm. The woman barista this morning was pleasant. The staff really made my stay very good!

My stag was quiet, and the staff was kind and helpful. It was nice having coffee right downstairs, and the hostel is within walking distance of pretty much anything you might want. Their website mentions parking is tricky, street parking it $60+ a night, but I parked overnight at a garage about two blocks away for $20/night. I will stay here again.

I absolutely loved my stay at the U street capsule! It was super clean and super convenient for my one night in town for a concert. The bathroom and shower area is impressively clean and stocked. The coffee shop there was amazing. My only complaint is my capsule outlets didn’t work nor did my assigned locker also recommend a general temp of 65 instead of 70
