Duo Housing

This hotel is actually a youth hostel, and most rooms are shared. This is not fully indicated on Ctrip's hotel booking app. I hope the platform can optimize this.

I stayed in a 12-person mixed-gender room. The bed was comfortable, but it made noise when I moved, so I couldn't turn over much. Many people were relaxing in the shared dining room and living room. The kitchen and eating space were crowded at breakfast time. I recommend going early.

Even though I had sent my request in advance via "email to accommodation" on the trip.com website, it didn't get through to them, and they were not able to respond in Japanese, even though they said they could. Also, the room type I reserved was a room with two bunk beds, but I ended up with a room with three. What does that mean? The accommodation building is divided into the front and main building and a detached building, and because it is a detached building, you have to go outside and walk along the street to the main building to go to breakfast or to take your luggage to the baggage storage, so I think it makes a big difference which building you can stay in. Also, the only amenities were one bath towel for two nights and hand soap. However, the pancakes included with breakfast were delicious, they also stored my luggage for free after check-out, and the location is close to the main tourist spots, so it wasn't a hassle to walk around downtown and back to my accommodation.

It's much better than I imagined when I booked it in China! It's very convenient to the White House, the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, the National Gallery, etc. You can walk there. The accommodation looks like a "multi-person" bunk room, but it's actually very spacious and has no interference. There are many clean bathrooms! There is also a small kitchen. There is a large supermarket with abundant food just ten meters to the right. I can be sure that I will stay at Duo House again if I go to Washington in the future!

When booking on Ctrip, it says that you need to pay in store, but in fact you don’t need to. You just need to pay with a visa card in advance. The 12-person room is on the basement floor and has a bathroom inside.
