Volunteering at the hostelhas been one of the greatest experiences of my life. The shifts were very manageable, the facilities for staff are clean/comfy, and the shared apartment has the best view of Adams Morgan (aka best location EVER). The management team - Hal, Jess, and Andrew - are nothing short of a dream to work with. I am also lucky now to consider them my friends, along with the rest of the staff who have been the backbone of my success here inthe hostel on a personal and professional level. I will miss everyone so so dearly and am counting down the days until I'm back in D.C. to visit!!

My experience at the hostelstarted as a dream coming true. I was warmly welcomed by everyone. The physical structure and its energy are wonderful. The front desk, lobby, guest and staff areas, everything was planned and organized with great attention. The managers (Hal and Jess) and the owner himself (Andrew), they are lovely, always asking if we need any assistance and helping us to do the work. It's definitely, the best hotel/the hostelin the galaxy! Haha. The location in a pleasant neighborhood and full of restaurants and bars, it's a bonus. Go tothethethe hostel! You'll love it too!

The hosteloffered an exceptional experience with its impeccable cleanliness and fully stocked amenities. The managers, Jess and Hal, were not only friendly but also maintained excellent communication with the team, always approachable. The job was straightforward to pick up, thanks to clear instructions, and the management's flexibility made it even more enjoyable. A notable advantage was the dedicated volunteer floor. Moreover, thethethe hostel's prime location added to the overall appeal of the experience. I definitely recommend thisthethe hostel!!<3
