This style-forward hostel is located in a restored Victorian mansion in the heart of Adams Morgan. The property embodies everything most folks love about staying in hostels—the ability to meet fellow travelers in common spaces and have an affordable bed to crawl back into after a night out on the town—adding posh features like luxury linens and towels, quality memory foam mattresses, customized bunk beds with built-in stairs (not ladders like you’ll see in other hostels), and access to Netflix and Hulu in the common room. Private rooms (similar to what you’d find in a budget hotel) and three-person dorms each measure 150 square feet. Six-bunk dorm rooms are 250 square feet and a cut above your average hostel, with hand-crafted pod beds featuring blackout curtains, headrests, reading lights, power outlets, and, as the website states, “all the hooks you could ever need.” Being book people, we appreciate the in-house library, but if that’s not your thing, Highroad is within stumbling distance of some of the best nightlife in D.C.
