Hostel Fish, Denver

The hostel was very clean as compared to many hostels i stayed in Europe. Also, it was not crowded at all (in late January). Beds were super comfy and the room was spacious. It is a historic building and they carved some sections of the plaster walls to show the red bricks under it, I think the owners are respectful to its history. I liked how they had digital keys to each room, to provide better safety. Location is superb, very central in the downtown! They have a nice bar area, as well as Ophelias downstairs. We attended a concert there and stayed at the hostel upstairs for the night. That was very convenient.

I paid for the locker, small fee but still that would be good to know in advance. Also, good luck in understanding how to lock/unlock, since the locks are a bit confusing. Even the staff had to try multiple times. But she was very kind overall, so I wouldn't think this as too much of a problem :)

The location and staff.

The temperature. All places were so cold. They have the temperature set at 67 F.

Check in was super easy. The location wasn’t bad. A bit of a walk in middle of Winter from the train station but it was pretty.

The bathrooms were super clean. They didn’t have towels though and the shower head had mold on it. The wallpaper was also torn exposing degrading drywall. It kind of went with the rustic aesthetic though.

The staff was amazing

comfy bed affordable hostel good location

dirty bathrooms. showerhead was very dirty . people use the bathrooms and dont clean after them selves. very loud up until 3 in the morning . walls are thin so you can hear everything

Showed up early, staff welcomed me and secured my bags in the back room. Location is close to downtown Denver. If you want to drink and party, this is a great place, as the hostel bar stays open until the wee hours of the morning. Bed was reasonably comfortable, and the bathroom was recently remodeled. Keycode entry to rooms and the bathroom provided security - but don't leave your wallet in your room when you go to take a leak!

Kitchen was filthy and cookware was in bad condition when I used it to cook dinner. I wanted to cook breakfast at 6:30 AM, ahead of my Amtrak departure, but the kitchen was locked up, and a call to the listed number merely rang the phone behind the vacant front desk. Fortunately, I had prepared for the eventuality. The hostel's advertisement as "upscale" is disingenuous. The entrance staircase is extremely worn-out. Bunks have electrical outlets, but no storage shelves and no privacy curtains.

Great that they could store luggage before check-in, convenient central location. Lovely clean bathroom facilities and comfy beds.

Really loud music from the hostel bar playing until 2am

Comfy, clean, and secure hostel. Everything that one would expect from a hostel experience. Easy check in and check out. Friendly staff.

There is a large staircase right at the entrance - difficult to deal with if you have large luggage. The floors are also a bit creaky.

Great atmosphere. Interesting building. Ideal location. Clean showers etc despite being shared. Storage under the beds was fine.

The dormitory was too hot and stuffy. It would be great if you could open a window.

The atmosphere is great, the rooms and shared bathrooms clean. I was even lucky to be alone in a 4-bed room

A long and steep flight of steps when you enter. Hardly accessible and tough even with a bigger suitcase There is not only a disco underneath and a bar with open doors and music until 11pm, the hallways also have loud music until 2am. The receptionist says it is part of the design. He readily gave me earplugs when I complained but it did not help much. This deducted a lot from an otherwise great experience.

Everything is good

Nothing

During the night it was very loud outside. But that is probably just because of the area, but someone was screaming for like 2 hours at 3 am

Good location Comfy beds On site bar Big lockers

No own linens rule Only one washing machine + dryer

Friendly atmosphere with very clean facilities. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Bed is all made for you. Shower fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, & body soap. Meeting fellow travelers at the bar. Free nice towel. Close to bar area. Walking distance to anything Downtown. Live music venue downstairs.

Live music venue downstairs. Depending on who's playing, the whole building may be shaking until 2 a.m. No bed lights. Very noisy HVAC with wide temperature swings. Not so easy to climb out of the top bunks, which are very high. Lockers are see-through so I didn't feel safe keeping my computer there. Not much fast food available nearby; just one pizza place across the street and a small food court at McGregor Place.

where is hair dryers?

Kitchen was locked when I had to leave and there was no warning, either during booking or check in, that this would happen. I had to catch an early flight, couldn’t make breakfast, and ended up having to leave my food. There was nobody to call either.

Clean and lovely.

Door was difficult to find.

We booked the room with a private bathroom, which was clean and comfortable. The location was fine for our needs. Sabina was really helpful in showing us how to use the washer and dryer. She made a fresh pot of coffee for us to have with our breakfast. Generally, it was a pleasant experience.

There was nowhere to put stuff in the shower or the bathroom - a.little shelf would have been nice. Also, a mat to stand on once you got out of the shower.

Well organized hostel that provided towels and blankets for travelers

Clean, cosy Hostel with some rooms for socializing or having a Bit of a retreat. Beautiful building close to lively part of town an Union Station

It was very clean with confortables beds. In an Nice area. And it was friendly.

My room was next to the bar. It was sometimes hard to sleep before 1:00 AM.

Nice hostel. The female dorm is comfy, the bathrooms are spacious and clean, and the kitchen space has all the basics. The staff was nice. It was not too noisy. Good location.

It was quite a pleasant surprise

The stairs coming in.But after that no problem

Location is great, really close to train station and the staff is friendly and helpful

I guess there are fleas

Nice sturdy bed with fluffy matrass, enough privacy from other travellers
