Fodor's Expert Review City House Hostel Washington, D.C.

506 H St. NE, Washington, District of Columbia, 20002, USA

It looks like a hole-in-the-wall, but this hostel is a clean, comfortable oasis—in the heart of the bustling H Street Corridor and near public transit—that's perfect for backpackers and other cost-conscious travelers. It has several private rooms and a host of mixed-dorm bunking options with from 4 to 12 beds. Bathrooms, in all cases, are shared. The amenities are generous, including free linens and towels, free Wi-Fi, and a game room and movie library.

  • good chance to meet fellow travelers
  • by far the cheapest option close to the Capitol

  • H Street can be noisy
  • cramped accommodations
  • very few private rooms
