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!

Everything was very nice, but I would like to see strict regulations regarding guests' conduct. Rules of conduct need to be printed and posted everywhere. Some people just have no clue and don't respect others' needs. Both nights I was there, I couldn't sleep because people were making so much noise.

The staff was super friendly and supportive. Fresh pancakes are made every morning. The sleeping pods were something new for me and I liked it. It seemed like not all of them were fully built, as the curtains weren't installed yet, but that might be just a questions of a couple more days, providing you with a bit more privacy. The location worked out superb for me. China town is just across the sreeet, offering plenty of food options. The main seights are still in walking distance.

Horrible

What a horrible experience! It was awful from start to finish. I booked a room at the I Street hostel. When I got there, they told me that the construction hadn't been finished and I had to go to the U Street capsule hostel. In other words, I booked one place and was forced to stay at another, with the excuse that “it's not that far away”. To keep me quiet, they allocated me a private room from Monday to Friday. On Thursday I received a message that they were removing all my things from the room because my days in the private room were over, they literally put my things in garbage bags. I found this humiliating, wrong to touch people's things and unethical. Their excuse was that I “didn't understand what they said”. It's very easy to blame the foreigner and say that she didn't understand, when clearly I was going to stay in the private room until Friday. They ignored me on the chat from start to finish. They didn't respond, the GOKI app didn't work properly. After all this I asked for my money back, which is very obvious. They changed my location, didn't tell me, ignored me, put my stuff in trash bags and blamed me for it. What did they do? They ignored me. Terrible experience, everyone said that the other hostel (due) is much better and the people are at least honest and decent. I still want my money back.

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.
