HighRoad Washington DC

First off, the location is a perfect 10/10. I stayed in a dorm room with three bunk beds. The bed itself was comfy, with a small but bright enough reading light and two handy little wooden shelves. There are power outlets for plugging in your devices. Each bunk has a curtain all the way around, which really gives you privacy in your own space. It also has two pretty roomy lockers. The staff are super attentive and friendly. The hostel has absolutely everything you could need: towels, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, earplugs, razors, combs, moisturizer, toilet paper, and even face masks. The kitchen is really well-equipped, and the common room is so cozy. You can access both the rooms and the main door using the same key card. So, all in all, I'm completely satisfied and really happy I chose HighRoad.

• free toiletries. toothbrushes, soap, toothpaste, pads, tampons, all travel sized too. really convenient and really useful. theyre dotted around in little stations so you dont have to go all the way to the desk to get something • beds are wide and long. lots of personal space • something ive never seen before, theres a pad at the head of the bed. like a headboard. so you can comfortably sit up in bed !! awesome • so much shelf space in the bed WOW two long and deep shelves • personal lamp • coloured LED strip lights with remote • 2 huge lockers !!!! with a rail and 2 hooks inside • plenty of shelf space in the shower • 5 hooks in each bathroom • a couple bus stops nearby • close to a safeway, 7/11, and cvs • stairs up to the bed had glow in the dark strips so you could see where you were going at night without turning the light on • the curtain didnt have metal on it i cant think how to describe it but the way the curtain was attached to the pole was just fabric so drawing it was completely silent • stairs up to the bed rather than a ladder • rooms were spacious. i stayed in a similar sized room the week before that had 8 beds in it, but my room in this hostel only had 3 everything was perfect and it went above my expectations. i still cant get over the free pads and tampons, such a lifesaver as i needed some but i didnt want to buy an entire pack, i only needed a couple. theyre good pads too, not the thin pathetic ones. staff were lovely. thankyou

It was very clean and quiet. I loved that all the toiletries were unscented; the shower was wonderful; and having lots of hooks around the room made it very easy to hang up clothes & backpack. Despite being small, there was plenty of room to move around. It was super helpful to have a suitcase stand, so I didn't have to get down on the floor to get things out of my suitcase. The kitchen downstairs had a refrigerator, hot water, cups and tea/coffee. There were extra toiletries if needed. I arrived late in the evening and Karishma made me feel very welcome; she continued to be helpful, kind over the next few days. Having a personal connection with someone like Karishma was exactly the reason for my being in a small place and not a big, cold, corporate type of hotel.

This hostel has both group and individual rooms. I find hostels are a great way to travel because of all of the interesting people you meet from around the world. I was in Washington, DC for the funeral of president Jimmy Carter and there were many other people staying at the hostel for the same reason. Conversations late into the night were fun and meaningful. The Thursday Night free beer happy hour was great. Fun to share a beer with an international room full of guests.

Bus number 90 goes from the bus terminal to the hotel, transportation is very easy, there are many restaurants and cafes, entertainment centers, the hotel is very decent, clean, its facilities are good, all kinds of drinks are free all day, the beds are very comfortable, there were private bathrooms, there are brochures with guides for tourists. The staff was extraordinarily good, especially Rana and Kay, they were very interested in me, their conversations were good, Rana showed me around the hotel and showed how to use the washing machine I thank her very much
