SAFETY

___________

Recent Incident:

On August 27, 2011, at about 0600pm, a female guest from Poland brought an armed robber into our hostel by letting the robber in with the keys that we gave her for her convenience.

Apparently, she hooked up with the handsome guy on the street somewhere outside the hostel, but when she found out that the guy\'s motive was nothing but robbery she headed to and ran into the hostel using the keys we gave her, with the guy in tow, thereby exposing all the other guests, the staff and the entire hostel to danger. The guy still robbed her as she claimed. This is not Poland. We are in the USA. People can be armed here. Generally, men here are saturated when it comes to girls and are not necessarily looking for women, so it is a good idea to focus on ones trip and purpose for visiting Washington and avoid unnecessary distractions like that when in town. And, most importantly, avoid subjecting other innocent guests and staff to unnecessary danger by bringing in strangers to our hostel.

PLEASE NOTE :
Starting from today, the 26th of April 2009, there will be a mandatory $20:00 cash only REFUNDABLE key deposit at check-in for any keys allocated to guests.

The guest spent only $45:00 for staying with us for two nights but we've spent almost double of that to fix problems created by the incident.
We had to replace our lock for security reasons.

ATTENTION!!!
There is a man at the neighboring hostel stealing our guests. Beware of this man. If you go there, a wrong address, he will take your money and we will charge your credit card also if you don't show up.
Avoid that hostel and come to your correct hostel to avoid being double charged.
We always send their guests back to them whenever they show up at our hostel in error, but their hostel consistently rob us of our guests who stray to them in error, stealing their money by charging them when they know fully well that the guests entered their hostel in error and will be billed by us. It is when the guest/s get to their end destination that they usually become aware of being charged twice by two seperate hostels..
So, please arrive at your correct hostel at the following address : 2413 BENNING ROAD, NE, Washington DC 20002. Thank you.

Guest Reviews

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

Dear Sir/Madam:

Thanks for your enquiry. Unfortunately I had an extremely unhappy experience in this Washington DC Guesthouse.
Before I arrived there, my mobile had already received the payment notice from the bank which issued my credit card, which proved that the hotel had collected all of the three day's hotel fees (The hotel knew my credit card's number and code, when I booked the hotel and paid the deposit months ago.)

When my friends and I arrived the hotel later in the afternoon of 8 August, we found the hotel was in a very uncomfortable situation no matter from insider or outside. We then told the receptor that I wish to cancel the book and let her to forfeit the deposit. But the hotel’s receptor said that they had collected all of our three day's hotel fees from my credit card's number. The receptor further said that no matter whether I lived there or not, the fee was not refundable anyway. Moreover, the receptor treated me very rudely and impolitely, so I escaped the hotel and have not lived the hotel for any single night.

Furthermore, I have freezed my credit card with the Bank of China, just because I fear that the hotel and the receptor seize my large amount of money with my credit card's number and code. It is the first time for me to come to USA, and I never believe any hotels in USA in the future, although I kept the better impression with USA before.
