Check in was smooth once I was able to contact the staff, and I honestly loved the capsule experience! I would definitely stay here again during a quick trip to DC. The restrooms were clean and the location was quite cozy.

Cool place. Nice common set up. I’d prefer a fan in the capsule, but still comfortable

The hostel was great, and everyone was very kind. Free breakfast and sound proofing in the capsules was great. Two notes: your phone is your key for EVERYTHING so make sure it's charged/you have a backup charger. Also, bring toilet paper if you don't want to use a bidet.

The staff were really nice. It was the weekend so i was able to park right out front for free. The sleeping pod was nice and the locker was spacious. It was cool that you unlock the doors and the locker with an app on your phone. The kitchen was big and had everything needed to cook. There were plenty of bathrooms but the showers could have been cleaner. The bidets were a nice touch. Breakfast was cooked for each person that wanted it. A woman made scrambled eggs, pancakes, and sausage. It was really good! This place is in China Town and very close to everything. I walked the the National mall in less than 15 minutes and the Capital One Arena in 5.

This was my first capsule experience and I’m so glad it was at I Street. The entire place is well-kept and modern. It looks just like the pictures in the listing. The app controls all access - no fumbling for keys/cards. The kitchen is large and well stocked. The entire staff and friendly and helpful. I arrived late at night and couldn’t ask for a better check-in experience. The area felt safe and is just 2 blocks from the subway. I also left my bag as I had a late flight and had no problems retrieving it. Your capsule has plenty of plugins and 3 lighting options. The mattress is memory foam and quite comfortable. The free breakfast was great - eggs, sausage and pancakes cooked for you. I would stay here again! An interesting experience were the bidet toilets - no toilet paper. One note: the capsules do not have good air circulation (at least in early October), so bring a mini travel fan. That’s what I used and it kept me cool through the night.

Would definitely stay again. Great location on 6th street and I streets. 10-15 minute straight walk to the National Gallery of Art and National Archives, and about a 25-30 min walk to the US Capitol.Close the Chinatown train station. Staff was super friendly. Free breakfast of pancakes everyday, and had a free beer night on Friday! Capsule was just right size with plenty of space for a big dude like me I’m 6 feet and a half and almost 300 lbs. I was concerned whether I got but I did! Multiple Showers with toilets, so never had to wait to use the bathroom or take a shower. Showers had good water pressure and shampoo. My only tiny minor thing is the toilets had bidets, since one is not allowed to use any toilet paper lol, but rather rely on a steady stream of water going up your insides to clean. That could be a huge issue for some people FYI, BUT Was quite the interesting experience having never used a bidet before but it worked out and was pretty cool and different. They said it’s an old building with small pipes and toilet paper can get clogged up easily, so that’s the reasoning which is more than reasonable. The place was very modern and beautiful with a full sized kitchen with two stoves and ovens to cook your own means and a living room to stretch out. Anyways great clean affordable place to stay in DC, and will definitely do again if available.

Having stayed at several different capsule hotels in Japan, I was excited to see something similar being offered here. Hotels in DC are not cheap so this was perfect in terms of providing an affordable yet comfortable place to stay. Overall I was not disappointed and was happy with my visit. The staff were very friendly upon check-in and the room (while still somewhat under construction) was more than adequate (my biggest issue with the capsules in Japan were the flimsy mattresses; no such issue here). Ear plugs are recommended (and provided) if you’re a light sleeper; I was in the upper bunk which was fine for me. Lockers provided secure storage and everything is conveniently managed from an app on your phone (which is a step up from Japan).
