Dear PoPville – Hotel or Hostel Advice?

“Dear PoPville,

Help! A relative and his girlfriend are coming to visit DC before he heads off to graduate school and need some advice about where to stay, etc. They will have their bikes with them and plan on riding to see most things in the city.

Can anyone recommend a place for them to stay for a few nights and give a few tips on where to park, etc.? Right now they are thinking about a student hostel or a cheap hotel but could use some information, especially if it is in a safe part of the city (his mom’s concern of course)! The days they are planning on being there are approximately Wednesday, July 27 to Friday, July 29.

I live in Logan and unfortunately they can’t stay with me. i would like them to stay fairly close to me though. Any suggestions?”

How about the hostel at 11th and K St, NW (1009 11th St NW)? You can book a room here. Anyone have other good hotel/hostel recs?
