Washington, DC … The monuments are beautiful at night! Also, during the summer, check out the internationally focused fairs by the National Art Museum/on the National Mall. There was one for Israel and one for the Philippines while I was there and they had concerts and delicious, authentic cuisine! There are jazz nights on the National Archives too -- all free -- and the sangria you can buy there is delicious.
Washington, DC … If you are looking for a cheap vacation, this is it! All the museums, monuments, and a great zoo -- totally free. You can find cheap good eats everywhere and for the cost of a day pass on the Metro or a great pair of walking shoes you can get everywhere!
Hilltop Hostel in Washington, DC … Awesome hostel!! Great staff and good location. I found it very safe there. Not a good place for whiny individuals.
Hilltop Hostel in Washington, DC … this place was great. the rooms have deadbolts, as well as hooks in the doors -- obviously, because you're sharing the rooms, it's not always such a great idea to use them, but they do exist. there's a passcode lock for the front door, so people can't just simply wander in. the owner lives right next door, and one of the staff lives in the hostel itself. it's very clean, safe, and absurdly close to the metro station and a 7-11. the surrounding area is great, there's a park across the street as well. the atmosphere is very chill, and everyone was really friendly. had a great time.

Hilltop Hostel in Washington, DC … Truly a wonderful hostel. I only booked there at the last minute, basically just because HI was full. The atmosphere here is much better than at the institutional HI's I visited across the US. I made more friends in two nights here than in the rest of my month's vacation!
Yes it's a little far from downtown, but it's RIGHT by a metro station which will take you wherever you want to go.

HI - Washington DC Hostel in Washington, DC … I stayed here a few weeks ago, having been here many times previously. Everything was fine except for the showers on the third floor, which lacked adequate pressure and hot water, so I ended up going to another floor. The kitchen facilities are especially nice.
HI - Washington DC Hostel in Washington, DC … I've always liked this place and feel that it is well run. The location is rather crummy, but it is very conveninet to downtown and transportation and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Cheers.
Hilltop Hostel in Washington, DC … Let me be honest about this hostel -- it rocks! If you're looking for a five-star hotel, with white gloves, room service, and VIPs everywhere, dont you dare go to Hilltop and wreck it for us all! This place is awesome, there is free internet for those of us who don't have a laptop, and for the lucky ones, free wifi. It's clean, warm, and friendly. The only con would be the lack of lockers in the room, but eh, if you truly are a backpacker, you wouldn't even think about traveling without one, would you now? Special thanks to the staff. fair enough, the owner is a drunk, but it's really the other guys who run this hostel, and make it so awesome! Don't change a thing!
