Staff was super helpful during a late night check in. Room was clean. Bedding and towel were clean. Lockers are a bit small for storing my larger laptop. Price was great for what I got. Highly recommend.

I don't like this place; it's one of the cheapest options you'll find in the area, but if you can spend about $10 more, avoid this place and choose the other option.Here the bathrooms smell like pee, you can't wear shoes inside meaning you have to step in pee to use the bathroom or brush your teeth, the place is generally clean, it just smells bad everywhere.So if you have enough money to avoid it, I recommend it. The good thing is the location; it's close to public transport stations and bike rentals.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Duo Housing Hostel Check-in was prompt and perfectly on time. The reception staff was super nice and incredibly helpful — she even gave me a full tour since it’s a pretty big place. And right away, I could tell this hostel has serious advantages over many hotels. Just the night before, I had paid more than double to stay at an Econo Lodge… and the amenities here blow that away. Duo Housing has a full computer lab, a spacious kitchen with real appliances — full stove, pots, pans, silverware, plates, a coffee maker — everything you need to make your own fresh meals. There’s also a beautiful rooftop patio with a great view. The location couldn’t be better. Right near downtown Washington, D.C., it’s surrounded by food options, grocery stores, banks, and restaurants — basically everything you could need within walking distance. The other guests were all super friendly, too! One girl even made a sesame oil cabbage salad for everyone, and the staff cooked breakfast pancakes for us in the morning. You can’t beat that community feeling. I give my experience here a full 5 stars and would absolutely stay again. Bravo, Duo Housing Hostel — keep up the amazing work!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff and amenities were mostly accommodating during my visit. The only two amenities that could be better are the towels for showering and coffee cups. When I was going to take a shower at 9:00am during my visit there were no towels ready. 9:00am is a popular time to shower; therefore, I would like to always ensure there is a towel available for each guests in the morning. Also, bring your own shampoo and soap for showering since they do not provide any. As for the coffee cups I was leaving at 10:00am and they only had mugs to drink coffee out of. Many people leave the hostel as soon as they wake up, so having to-go cups is recommended.

This was such a great experience! My roommate was really interesting to the point where I think we will be friends going forward. The staff was very helpful and did everything to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. For anyone looking for a safe, lively place to stay that's near everything, I highly recommend Duo Housing!

Killer Hostel

The staff here were friendly, fun and helpful. I've stayed it lots of hostels especially on the Appalachian Trail. This one rocks! It is clean, updated and a good location. Met people I will stay in contact with for future travels. Pancakes! Chocolate chip, blueberry and old fashioned every morning and great coffee. The rooftop is a great place to relax and if ya want to cook something up, they got you there too. Room was a little in the toasty side but the humidity is awful right now. Chill down at night so no worries there. I extended my stay a couple times and will choose this Duo next time I'm in DC..

First time doing hostel. Friendly staff. Short walking distance to where I needed to go (Otakon at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center). Convenient. Met some cool people. Sometimes, the soap ran out in the bottle, but that's all I would realistically complain about.
