DC INTERNATIONAL HOSTEL 2, Washington

The hostel is centrally located near the intersection of 9th and N Streets NW, placing the White House, Lincoln Memorial, and many other landmarks within easy walking distance. The nearest Metro station is about a 10-15 minute walk. Numerous restaurants, bars, and a supermarket are within a 5-minute walk. The area is walkable for city exploration, but the walk with heavy luggage from the Metro may be tiring. Free street parking is limited.

The accommodation offers shared dormitories and private rooms. Private rooms contain two single beds and basic furniture only. All rooms feature air conditioning and heating, but noise insulation is poor, and road-facing rooms can be noisy. Some rooms have no windows. Bunk bed mattresses are old and uncomfortable. Bedsheets and towels are provided. There are no lockers, curtains, or individual lights for beds. Top bunks may lack a safe ladder.

There is no restaurant, bar, or breakfast at this property. A self-catering shared kitchen is provided, but it has minimal equipment: a microwave, kettle, oven, and refrigerator, with limited utensils, cups, plates, and cutlery. The vending machines offer snacks and drinks. Many restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, including Ethiopian, Thai, and casual dining options.

The hostel does not have a pool, spa, fitness centre, or any planned activities or events. The only common indoor space is a shared lounge/TV area.
