My locker is way too high to reach so I was not able to use it at all. Also I booked a female dormitory and there was a guy staying there(he doesn’t seems like trans. Just a normally guy). I guess the fully automatic check in process has its drawbacks.

The Japanese style toilet is so nice. The breakfast was also pretty good with eggs and pancakes. Plenty towels are available.

If you are a solo traveler i would 100% recommend this hostel!! Super friendly staff! Everything was clean and nice! You have a free homemade breakfast clean towels every day. As a girl a felt really safe there!

Fairly minor, containers in shower are unlabeled so I could not tell what's shampoo or conditioner or body wash.

Great, clean, comfy location! First floor provides a place to hang out with other folks, either in the dining area / kitchen or in the couches with the roku tv and foosball. Fresh towels are provided for showering. There's free breakfast too though I didn't get to try it due to schedule. The capsule concept is like the Japanese capsule hotels, but these are at least tall enough to sit upright, and there are plenty of outlets and space to hold stuff. Way better than bunk beds. The bathrooms are great too - legit bidets which are quite luxurious, considering the price this hostel charges.

I don't think there's one thing that I didn't like about this overall experience with my stay. I actually extended for another night and was able to book another night. It was very pleasant and enjoyable. Stuff is knowledgeable. Overall experience five star

I liked how friendly and knowledgeable in the overall experience of staying in a hostel. Very well-run and organized. I would love to bring this idea to Waterville Maine 04901 Maine Eco housing Keith Dickey would love somebody to reach out and contact me

Not enough storage for luggage. And having to rely on my phone to get into the hostel and room made me nervous because I don’t have a power back up for when I’m out

Safe area in the day, a bit more dodgy at night but still okay I think.

The location with the smell and rats coming out at night and such.

The staff was excellent especially Matt and Jon!

Unfortunately it was a bit loud talking from other on phone in the middle of night but that’s life

The toilets with heated seat and clean your ass was amazing! Staff was amazing and pods were cozy

It's not accessible, but that's not their fault. If you're staying in the female only area you will need to be able to carry your luggage up a few flights of stairs to the top floor. And there are a few short sets of stairs down to the 3 bathrooms on that floor.

Friendly staff, great location, tasty breakfast, clean and comfy capsules (plenty of room to sit up in), bidets in bathrooms, hair dryers, great a/c, luggage drop spot, and nice people staying there. The Goki key worked great for external doors and room. The Goki lockers were installed after I got there - didn't use them but it's nice to have the option. Capsule didn’t have lock installed yet but you can tell they're working on it. It seemed like they are making lots of improvements to the hostel all the time! Very cool place, would stay there again.

I could always go for a lower price, lol; however, there is likely nowhere else you can stay for a better price.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Amazing breakfast, which is included in your stay (made-to-order pancakes, eggs, and sausage)! The location was perfect. I strongly recommend those visiting DC (especially solo travelers) to consider I Street Hostel.

The room was very dark, the only window was blocked by beds. Also my room smelled a little stale. The pod was a little challenging to get into. (I'm old!)

Excellent price, excellent location, staff was very responsive and always present onsite. Security of my belongings was excellent. Food offered onsite was adequate.

Very comfortable and clean, with breakfast included

The staff was amazing, we had free breakfast and a huge kitchen (I didn't use it but it seems amazing). The location is perfect and it is not that expensive.

I missed not having a mirror in the room, but I used the one in the bathroom without any problems.

everything was great from reception to the checkout. very kind people and everything was very clean.

Parts of the hostel are semi-under construction, because they have been waiting for the capsule beds to arrive (they were delayed due to tariffs). So they're still installing those beds. I didn't mind at all, as even without the doors installed, the new capsule beds were super comfortable.

Breakfast was great, the property manager and his staff were incredibly helpful! The location is super convenient to the Chinatown Metro stop. My dorm mates were all interesting people to talk to, and everyone was polite and respectful.

Hostel could organize more events and activities so that people could meet

Very comfy beds, I loved the capsules and bathrooms are well equiped. The breakfast is amazing and home made. The keyless doors make it easy to come and go. The hostel is very well located (near metros, bus and the area is walkable).

All good!!!

This is an amazing place. very polite guys will meet you and help you solve any problem! they have great cuisine, great mattresses and a great location. I have traveled to 7 countries, 33 regions of Russia and 47 states of the USA. rarely when I remember that the location of the hotel in the very center of the city and at the same time silence at night were combined. I had a great time and recommend this hotel to everyone. I would give 10 stars out of 10 and even higher.

Cozy, Friendly & Lively Stay at I Street Capsule Hotel! I had a wonderful experience staying at I Street Capsule Hotel. What truly stood out were the friendly and helpful hosts—they made the stay feel warm and welcoming. The place has a homely and lively atmosphere, offering great communal vibes. Location was just near Gallery PI Chinatown metro station and is at a walkable distance from many of the monuments and attractions. They offer free breakfast and even free seltzer or beers, which was such a thoughtful touch. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the necessary amenities for those who like to cook or just hang out. The pods were very comfortable, providing privacy and good rest. The washrooms were clean, spacious, and modern, equipped with remote-controlled toilets, which was impressive. The only downside was the lack of an elevator, especially since it’s a 3-floor building—carrying luggage up could be a bit of a task. If you’re someone looking for features like internet café facilities, elevators, or pods with built-in mirrors, then U Street Capsule Hotel might be a better fit. But for a cozy, friendly, and fun experience, I’d definitely recommend I Street!
