About International House of Washington (United Tel)

Welcome to the International House of Washington, formerly the International House of United Tel. We’re located in the bustling Chinatown area of downtown DC.

We have free Wi-Fi and high-speed cable internet throughout the premises, plus continental breakfast. If you want to print anything, the first three pages are free.

Our clean rooms include clean, new hardwood floors. Some rooms include a private bathroom. The dorm rooms are very secure, with combination door locks.

Our clean 18-bed dorm includes a piano, refrigerator, kitchen sink and microwave.

Facilities include large lockers (30x30x38) with their own locks (no need to bring your own), continental breakfast, a kitchen with free rice, and games including Taboo, Jenga, Uno, cards, Pictionary, the Wii and golf putting. Our library of books include TOEFL, quiz books, phrase books, riddles and brain teasers!

You can make free calls to landlines in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Chile and cell phones in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the US and Canada.

From here you can walk to the White House, the Capitol, the convention centre, the free Smithsonian museums, restaurants, 14 movie theatres, Safeway, the pharmacy and the yellow line on the metro (just two minutes away).

In order to get the most out of DC, we recommend that you plan to stay for three nights. There are many free places to go. Most museums are free and can take from 2 to 8 hours. Some people only stay one or two nights and are disappointed because they’re rushed and can't do as many interesting and educational activities as they’d like.

Our manager formerly served in a number of US government agencies, like the Department Of State, USAID, inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, the US Army, National Institute Of Health and the Government Accountability Office.

We look forward to making your stay enjoyable, healthy, educational and fun. We do not permit alcohol, drugs, smoking or persons under the influence of alchohol.
