Mayflower's website showed a "TV", yet when I called the Manager he said there was NO TV, and there were No Lockers to store VIP Papers ?

The areas were cramped and there were always a couple of mosquitoes inside but I feel that the value was more than the price considering how cheap my stay was. There was a TV in the living room that had basic cable and Netflix. The wi-fi speed was quick. For breakfast, the pancakes were consistently good and there was always a ready supply of butter, syrup, lemonade, and coffee. It was a quick walk to the nearest bus stop and metro rail station. The employees were most helpful and accommodating such as dealing with a tenant who was a very loud snorer, keeping the open areas clean, giving detailed answers to questions about tourist areas, and making sure the tenants had the things they needed. There was a shooting in the early morning one day but it was explained that the shootings are gang-related and directed to a rival gang and never at civilians. I was never accosted in the local area when I was out and about.

Very good

I was asked to show my passport in a chilly vestibule (not inside) although I had already paid for my stay. I was then asked to remove my shoes (fine, but no slippers were on offer), presumably to protect a carpet dating from at least 1973...I could go on but if you can afford to go elsewhere, then do.

Had a great stay at the hostel. It’s a very cozy place and close to the capitol building and smithsonian museums. Very safe homely feel at the hostel. I stayed in the 8 bed mixed. Tight for space but was okay as there are other areas for guests to use. Rooftop is lovely and has a recently renovated feel. James was a trooper member of staff. Such a hard worker and with such a lovely friendly smile all. Kept the place clean always. Make sure you ask about his book he’s written when you get there. All staff were great! Met some lovely guests at my stay

In a time where being able to make short-term reservations within reasonable rates, I was given a most regrettable experience. Several of the staff and management are inconsiderate and have terrible attitudes. With only three people staying in the entire house, I was put in a room with a transexual man who was coughing and clearly not well.

Not what we were used to, usually not picking shared rooms for backpackers. But for all it's worth, it delivered everything promised through the site. The biggest highlight being the perfect service of the personnel. Nothing but smiles and eagerness to be of assistance. The breakfast was great. Although the space was squeezed, a bit crowded and time tablets strict, it was a pleasant enough stay for its purpose.
