The property was in the process of renovating. Even with construction going on, it was still a beautiful place to stay. The modern amenities are more in line with a chic 5-star hotel than a stereotypical hostel. The stay included breakfast which was cooked to order...amazing!

It's a new hostel so you can't expect everything is well ready. There were some small problems at the beginning but the staff was nice and tried to resolved them. The breakfast was good and sometimes it had Friday beer movie night. The location is perfect. Will highly recommend it.

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.

No me gustó el horario de desayuno. Muy tarde. Dice que comienza 8.30, pero en realidad 8.30 llega una persona donde comienza a preparar. Si tienes un vuelo temprao lo perderas. Después no se que paso si es problema de expedia o del hostel, pero no se respetó mi forma de pago.

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).

Location The hostel is located in Chinatown. The east side of the building felt relatively okay, but the west side had a large number of homeless people and felt very unsafe. Most of the guests seemed to be Chinese travelers. Check-in & Staff When I arrived, there was a sign saying to download the GOKI app. However, when I entered the Expedia confirmation number into the app, it was rejected as invalid. Since I had not received any prior instructions, I had no choice but to press the intercom and be let in to check in. The staff were friendly, but there were serious mistakes. At first, I was shown to the wrong room—a female-only dorm—and I even placed my belongings there before being told it was incorrect. If I had left immediately, it could have been a serious problem. Later, when I asked about lockers, the staff gave me inaccurate information, which felt unhelpful. Room & Security The new room I was assigned had lower security than the female dorm. The capsule lock didn’t work at all. While the GOKI app ensured that only registered guests could enter the room, there was no way to secure my belongings against other roommates, which felt unsafe. Each capsule came with a GOKI-controlled locker, but in my case the locker was located outside the room, making luggage management very inconvenient. Facilities The building is three floors with no elevator, which would be difficult for anyone with heavy luggage. Wi-Fi was available, but it did not reach inside the capsule, making
