I went here about 3 years ago now. Staff was a dream. I barely remember the names. Helen was at the front. They were intensely rude but also really good vibes, I liked them all a lot. The stay is okay it’s just a hostel but really the staff is what leaves a lasting impression. Good people in what I’m assuming is a bit of a risky work environment considering you’re living amongst strangers 24/7. A shorter guy there called me Kenny from South Park. Very great staff, I wonder if they’ve changed (probably have) since but if they haven’t, doubt they’ll remember me but I would go again just to kick it with them again. Would recommend here 2-3 nights maximum

My recent stay at Duo Nomad was quite disappointing for several reasons: Hidden Charges: I was charged an extra $50 for checking in at 4 AM, which is considered a late check-in, not early. This additional fee is not clearly mentioned anywhere except on their main door, which you only see after you arrive. This lack of transparency felt very misleading. Insufficient Facilities: For the number of guests they accommodate, they only have two showers, and during my stay, only one was functional. This caused significant inconvenience and delays. Unexpected Costs: I booked this place because it seemed cost-effective at $75 for a few hours of sleep. However, with the hidden late check-in fee, I ended up paying $125 for just 4 hours. This unexpected charge made the stay far from economical. Poor Breakfast: The only breakfast option available was a tasteless pancake. This was very disappointing, especially considering the overall cost of the stay. Overall, my experience at Duo Nomad was far below expectations, and I would not recommend it to others seeking a budget-friendly and hassle-free stay.

Amazing stay at Duo Nomad. Was received by Maria on my first night at she stuck to procedure when it came to verifying my identify. Was caught off guard cause I did not have my passport with me as I was visiting from another state. But this made me feel safer. The rooms were really nice and equipped with an AC. The beds were bunk beds and were pretty comfy to sleep in. Breakfast is provided here which was pancakes with lemonade and coffee as your beverage! Surely a delight to wake up to. It is walking distance to many food places and the big guy who ran the dorm was really helpful and friendly in giving recommendations on places to eat and visit. Surely a cost saver and really worth the price!

Overall I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The building IS on the older side, and the hallways a bit narrow, but it was cozy and I had a comfortable bed at night which is ultimately what I wanted from a hostel. If I wanted luxury I would’ve gotten a more expensive, fancier hotel room. Nonetheless, the staff was friendly and helpful. Kenny was accommodating and took the time to explain the metro bus system to me. The pancakes were good and I met some cool people staying at the hostel too. A good location, near many shops and restaurants. I’d stay there again if I ever go back to DC.

Kerry is very nice. He has amazing hospitality and kindness. I had a great time on my own and really felt taken care of and the hotel is so cute. There are so many amazing features in the common areas. Thank you. I will always remember this trip was great because of here. But please also invest in curtains or wood beds so the beds are more sturdy and you have a little more privacy. I expect a little better quality of stay from such a luxurious road. The beds felt very awkward. Though I’m used to international hostels. Please consider adding curtains to each bed. Or some extra privacy. Thanks!
