“This swanked-out hostel is an oasis for budget travelers. Stylish, modern and squeaky clean, dorms have themes – Aspen, Graffiti, Vintage Biker – and sleep five to 10 people in bunks. Mattresses are thick and duvets plush.”

Hostel for young party people in downtown
The kitchen is full equipped and the hostel seems alright
it's super loud. there's constant music and the area doesn't feel safe at times. Parking is possible but expensive. Might have been just too old for the hostel.

Pleasant
Comfortable bed. Helpful staff. Walking distance to restaurants and bars.
Have to carry your suitcase up stairs to check-in.
Some people might struggle.
There were a lot of homeless in the area.
Room 306 had a fan that come on and off automatically all night and couldn't turn it off.

I was satisfied with the value for price.
Reception checkin was smooth and efficient. The bathrooms were very clean and bright.
The room was smelly in the morning with all the bodies. It probably can’t be helped considering it is a bunk room.
My bunk only had a partial curtain.

Staff and kitchen
Noisy colleagues and noisy environment.
The fridge could be bigger

Pleasant
Comfortable bed and helpful staff. Location is good, although the closest neighborhood isn't nice.
The music from the bar downstairs is so loud that you can feel the bed vibrating. It was possible to sleep only because I was very tired. Music stops sometime after midnight.

Great and clean hostel, great staff, comfortable beds, good location and safe to go to as a solo (female) traveller. It was very easy to meet new people which made it even better!

Very good
Very convenient location. Has a nice kitchen and nice staff!
A bit noisy in the night. Floors in shared rooms are not clean. Yet, the bathrooms are impeccable.

Interesting! As being a senior over 70 yrs old, staying at a Youth Hodtel was an experience. Bathroom is down the hallwa
I seldom stay at Youth hostel. Had to stay somewhere near Union station for a connecting bus after a long flight from Asia. located this hostel to crash.
The flight of steps to reception and room. fortunately there was an elevator. I am a senior so the elevator did help!

The hostel had great atmosphere and friendly staff. It was super close to Coors Field for our baseball game.
Our room was right next to the lounge and they started playing music rather loud at 8 in the morning.

Pleasant experience with friendly staff and a lot of shared facilities.
I liked the shared areas and shared bathroom facilities.
Also the option to lock valuables near the bed.
Quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
The value for the price is low. This is probably because of my surprise how Denver is expensive compared to accomodation in Europe.
Even though i only slept in the room it was smallish and dark.

A proper hostel!
I'm used to travelling in Europe and this is the first proper hostel I've been to in the US. The staff are super nice and cool and very friendly and helpful. The rooms are perfect - super comfy beds, curtains for privacy, lots of space in your bunk to store things and a big locker under the bed to lock away your bag. Free coffee!
The kitchen is quite sparsely equipped. Totally fine if it's just you in there cooking, but can see it being a problem if multiple people are trying to cook at the same time. The bar/kitchen area is also the main common area so it would be nice if there were more comfy seats as a "main" common room area instead of having it split between the bar and the nook upstairs.

Very good
the beds were okay, they had lamps, a place where to put your stuff and a curtain for privacy. the restrooms were outside the room but really good. the staff was awesome! and it had a kitchen too that was useful.
the neighborhood was full of homeless people on the streets, that was not so nice

Very good
