The worst hotel in history. In my decades of staying in hotels, this is the one with the worst value for money. The hygiene is terrible. The smell is terrible at night. I can't fall asleep. There are black people sleeping in the lobby. I was startled when I didn't pay attention. I won't come again.

A black youth hostel with average hygiene, tight showers and bathrooms, and queues in the morning and evening. It has a mini kitchen and is located about half an hour's walk from the White House attractions.

Very good, the airport pick-up service is perfect, the breakfast is very rich and varied, it is a pleasant experience, especially worth recommending!

I've stayed in many hostels over the years and sadly have to say this was the most disgusting place I have ever stayed. Felt more like a bail.hostel. Nobody to welcome on arrival. The place is filthy. Urine all over the bathroom. Other residents look to be more homeless than travellers.some had a few disturbances in the night between themselves. Also look to having mental dosorder.No lockers or safe storage. Hairdryers don't work. Beds tatty and uncomfortable. No space to do anything during day. Glad I was out all the time.. The little man on reception was rude and disrespecful. Treated you like an inmate. Awful.place. honestly worst place I've ever stayed. Book at your own risk..

Llegamos al hostal en la noche y nos encontramos con la sorpresa de que en todo el tercer piso no hay ninguna ventana ni ventilación. La habitación es un horno, incluso en pleno invierno. Hay un baño por piso, pero dos de tres están inutilizables (además de asquerosos). Se nota que no los han limpiado en toda la semana. Para cerrar con broche de oro, hay ratones en la cocina.

Pire hôtel de ma bien
Pire expérience d'hôtel de ma vie. Un endroit sale et pas entretenu. Un responsable à l'accueil pas aimable et qui n'en fait qu'à sa tête.
Une chambre digne des pires prisons, sans meuble ni fenêtre. 1 toilette et douche dans la même pièce pour tout un étage. Est-ce qu'elles ont déjà été nettoyées un jour ? On peut vraiment se poser la question.
L'hôtel est sale et le personnel vraiment odieux. Cet hôtel devrait être supprimé du site. Vraiment insalubre... Des matelas pourris ... Une odeur dans la chambre privée immonde ... De plus gros soucis de sécurité également , n'importe qui pouvait entrer dans la chambre privée et ce avec n'importe quelle carte clef. C'est simple , tout ouvre tout ! On a été obligé de bloquer la porte de l'intérieur avec une chaise. C'est simple... Plus jamais !

Avoid
This place was not good in any sense of the word. Maybe it's because I'm 6'2" with tattoos but i was told I had to schedule a time to use the bathroom as if I know when I'm going to need to urinate or have a bowel movement. Mattress seemed to be two yoga mats together and someone was living in the hostel. Yes, living. There was no bedroom fan or air conditioning and the place needed to be swept, mopped, dusted and vacuumed to even be considered clean but the walls needed to be washed, blinds needed to be fixed and door handles on doors to make this anyone stay at this place.

Worst place ever
We had the worst experience ever, its a horribel place and the people dont Care about it. We left after one Night because our backs where hurting after a hard and horribel bed. There where dirty and grosse every where. No air condition or Windows in our room. No soap, hand towels in the bathroom and the lock to the bathroom dosent Work. It was so nasty!!! We have never tried anything worst like This!! We had paid for 5 nights, but we cancelled our reservation after one Night! But the emoloyes didnt Care about What we **** saying. We still paid for all five Nights, he didnt listen and was very rude to us and all the other guest!
