The hotel is ok to stay with the good cost. I met some nice people during my stay.
It would be great if you could provide some basic/better stuffs for the kitchen such as kettle, some dishes, ect.

Initially my experience was not good but after a day, manager Shato helped us a lot and other guests. He ensured to have cleaning and listened to our suggestions of improving. I must appreciate his approach.
With those suggestions, if implemented properly, I truly believe that DC Hostel will improve.
Best of Luck DC International Hostel 2.

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 weed saying. We still paid for all five Nights, he didnt listen and was very rude to us and all the other guest!

Owner's nice enough, but the ability to conduct personal hygiene leaves much to be desired. Mattresses are all severely overdue to be replaced between serviceability and age. Shower water was always ice cold no matter what direction the faucet was turned. Any and all liquid soap was watered down; which is surprising considering we just went through a pandemic where just about everyone learned that you don't water down soap. Ever. Toilet paper takes roughly a business day to replace. Absolutely no paper towels at all. Ended up buying my own bad soap, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. so I could conduct what I thought was an acceptable level of hygiene. Cleaning that gets done is with minimal work/effort. Bedsheets also stand to be replaced based on how raggedy some of them are.
I've stayed in hostels before. This is not a typical hostel experience; at least when comparing to hostels in Europe. If you're looking for a place to stay in DC without spending over 100 a night a hostel is the way to go, but bring your own cleaning/hygiene supplies.

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 !

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.

Poorly run, none of the amenities work, maintenance and cleanliness of the bathrooms etc wasn’t good either, flies in the shower and the whole place smells pretty bad in general. Didn’t feel safe in the place and didn’t trust the people I was staying with to leave my stuff there.
