HighRoad Washington DC

Nice and clean. Easy to find, right next to the bus stop, busses 90 and 96. Staff was polite and helpful. Would recommend.

Je me suis enregistré dans une chambre privée au HighRoad Hotel mardi. J'ai été enregistré dans une petite pièce au sous-sol et quelques heures plus tard, j'ai commencé à entendre le crépitement de minuscules pattes de rongeurs venant de la gaine de ventilation au-dessus de mon lit. En regardant par la fenêtre, j'ai pu voir 3 rats dehors, à quelques mètres de la porte extérieure de la pièce. Je me suis plaint au gérant qui ne me croyait pas que les rats auraient pu entrer dans le bâtiment. J'ai demandé à changer de chambre mais elles étaient complètes. J'ai demandé un remboursement et ils étaient très réticents à le faire. Après de nombreuses disputes, ils ont fini par me rembourser la deuxième nuit et la moitié de la première nuit. Je n'étais pas très content de devoir payer 130 $, mais je n'avais pas beaucoup de choix car je devais essayer de trouver un autre endroit où séjourner dans un délai très court. Si vous n'êtes pas du tout mal à l'aise à l'idée de vivre dans des locaux très proches des rongeurs, j'éviterais cet hôtel.

I wanted to love this place! If I were in my 20's, I'm sure I would have but now that im in my 40s and have gotten used to staying in "real" hotels...this place just wasn't cutting it :-( It's in a beautiful building on the corner. Lots of restaurants that are walkable. The door to the building is always locked which is great. You need your key card to get in. Check-in was easy. FYI, everyone in your party that wants a key will need to provide ID. I booked Hotel room 305 (private 3rd floor walk-up). I knew going into it that it was going to be small and that it would require climbing a ladder to get up to 2 of the beds. I just wasn't quite prepared for just how small and just how steep the ladder would be! My 70 year old dad slept on the lower bed. My husband, my 9 year old son and I slept on the loft. Its VERY low up there! My poor husband (6ft) literally couldn't stand when he was up there! The ladder is a little scary. It only has a handle on both sides for the upper half and like I said its very steep so you really gotta heave yourself up there haha. It was super annoying if you had to use the bathroom during the night. It was like sleeping on the world's highest bunk bed. The bathroom was like a lot of European bathrooms where the toilet and the shower are all just together in one tiled room, no lip for separation. There is a shower curtain, but it doesn't really do much to contain the water. The sink to wash your hands is outside of the bathroom. The common areas downstairs were cute. A few big refrigerators to store your food and they provide labels. I've stayed in many hostels in my life and this was definitely a nice one but if you are like me and have gotten used to regular hotel rooms, just bite the bullet and spend the money! If you are in your 20's then go for it! :-)

Been here for three nights: definitely one of the best hostels I've ever seen: very clean, lot of free amenities, big lockers, nice staff, cool neighbourhood and on Thursday evening they even offer free beers. I'd say the only downside is that is not too close to the city center, but there are a few bus stops nearby so getting there is not complicated either. If I'm back in Washington, I'll come here.

We loved our stay at HighRoad! The rooms were cozy and well laid out. The staff was really friendly and had many recommendations for activities and directions. Location is great, directly near a lot of restaurants. We're recommending it to our friends who are planning to come to DC!

Clean compact room - about the size of a cruise ship cabin and just perfect for 2 people. The small, private bath was immaculate! Staff was super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen and comfy lounge room. Reasonably priced parking nearby. overall a great stay!

Great hostel! Clean rooms and common areas, nice helpful staff, great location and near to several restaurants and a Safeway grocer. Bring a lock for your in room locker BTW. There are Metro buses and a Circulator bus within walking distance so it’s very easy to get around the city. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Very clean, friendly place, well run, great location. Can’t go wrong. The place looks brand new. Located in an area with many shops and restaurants. Quick and easy transit to get around the city. The room is small and cozy, perfect for two. Would definitely stay here again.

As a solo traveling woman, I was nervous about staying at a hostel, but this was completely unfounded here! An incredibly lovely hostel staffed with kind and helpful people, I had a wonderful time staying here. Everything was exceptionally clean and comfortable (beds, shared areas, etc). More relaxing and enjoyable than many of the AirBnBs I've stayed at in my life! Will absolutely be booking again in the future and recommending to friends!
