I cannot say enough good things aboutthethethe hostel. This is one of those places you won't ever want to leave. The work schedule is consistent and easy with three 8-hour reception shifts a week. the hostelis such cool place to spend some time in and Adams Morgan is the BEST neighborhood. The managers are incredible and do everything they can to make this the best experience. Volunteers have a separate living space and the dorms are so nice! This is truly a community and this place feels like home. I have loved my time atthethethe hostel, and I am so grateful to everyone who has made it so wonderful! LOVE Y'ALL

My time at the hostelwas amazing! I met so many of the other volunteers and learned so much! I came here to learn whether or not I want to open up my own the hostelin the future and I got so many insights! From learning the BTS to working the front desk to meeting with the owner Andy I learned so much! The apartment that all of the volunteers stayed in was a great seclusion from the rest of the guests in the hotel/hostel. Very professionally run as well and a lot of care is given towards running the business!

My the hostelHotelthe hostel experience exceeded all my expectations. It was by far the best experience I've had in the last years, and I enjoyed every single moment spent there. The hotel staff, volunteers, and managers were incredibly welcoming and supportive, which made my time there very enjoyable. I had the opportunity to help with a range of tasks, from helping with guest check-ins to maintaining common areas. I would definitely volunteer at the hostelagain and recommend it to anyone interested in visitingthe hostel. I am so grateful for everyone I met and for the amazing moments I had.
