William Penn House

Washington, DC


This friendly Quaker-run guesthouse with garden offers clean, well-maintained dorms, though it could use more bathrooms. There are 30 beds in total, including two 10-bed dorms, two four-bed dorms and one two-bed room. The facility doesn’t require religious observance, but there is a religious theme throughout, and it prefers guests who are active in progressive causes. Rates include continental breakfast.

The curious and spiritually minded can rise for the 7:30am worship service.
