For a capsule hotel on U Street, this can't be beat! I will definitely stay here again despite the locale which, while it has many charms, is a bit sketch around midnight. Really clear check in, very clean pods which were surprisingly quiet and comfortable inside, and no line for the bathroom at 4am.

Hidden chargers - I thought it was just a mistake however came to find out while sitting on the lobby that they wanted to charge extra to other guests too - also the accuracy on the information is misleading.

It is easy to get around, thanks to the hostel's proximity to the Metro station. You can also conveniently take the bus to Georgetown for a short walk. Another perk is the neighborhood, which seems nice to stroll. All in all, it was a good experience for four days, and I definitely recommend staying for a short time.
