Pros:

Capsule itself total privacy. Perfect location.

Cons:

The locker’s code suddenly doesn’t work. But there is a manual locker wherein i put my things and used my own personal padlock. No switch in my capsule (22, rm 203) that i can use for my c-type charger and laptop. Only usb type i can use

Pros:

Everything was like I expected. Clean, nice hostel crew, capsule exactly like the picture. Would definetely stay there again.

Cons:

The only caveat is that the capsule shakes a little if someone is on the one above you :) . The neighborhood is also not what I expected, but the hostel is so close to the subway that it doesn't really matter. Also, in my opinion, I think I would feel safer if there was a lock on the inside of the capsule curtain.

Where's the staff?
Pros:

Easy access from the Metro, clean bedding, private.

Cons:

Never once saw anyone who worked there. Check-in was almost a major issue as it was all through the phone, and arriving after a day of traveling, my phone was nearly dead. Capsules were made of a fairly weak plastic shell, which was cracking in multiple places. Was looking forward to the on-site cafe, but it was closed the entire time I was there. Overall a nice idea for the hostel, execution could use some work.

Experience satisfaisante
Pros:

Experience satisfaisante ! Self check-in via une application avec des codes pour les portes donc assez simple. Douches et WC propres. Emplacement au top, à deux pas du métro et d'un trader joe, avec possibilité de laisser les sacs durant la journée.

Cons:

Les capsules sont originales mais la prise USB C ne marchait pas dans ma capsule et il n'y avait pas de prise normale dedans donc j'ai du me debrouiller...

Great location with friendly staff and offers more privacy than traditional hostels.
Pros:

Friendly staff, great location, clean common areas and capsules. They also allow to leave the bags after the check out.

Cons:

It was slightly too hot in the capsule, had to leave the curtain up and lockers were quite complicated to use.

A really nice place to sleep in DC, good privacy and clean spaces
Pros:

The capsule gave very good privacy and it was quiet to sleep. The bathrooms were shared among the whole floor so sometimes there was a wait but most of the time it was alright. The downstairs cafe is superb! Also the place is very close to a subway station and restaurants.

Pros:

The location was convenient. Around the corner from the yellow and green line.

Cons:

While the bed was clean, the room wasn’t cleaned very well. My locker battery was dead so I needed to wait for staff to return to charge it. And the storage that is offered before arrival is literally unsecured shelves in the cafe. Having stayed in many other hostels that were much cleaner, I don’t plan on returning to this one.
