Overview

We have brought in a new highly experienced management team in July, who has hostel management experience at many top hostels worldwide. We have completely re-done the yard and will be putting into effect many interior renovations in the next 8 weeks.

Don't miss our guest BBQ on Saturday evenings in the back yard!

With public transportation just steps away, hostellers have easy access to the Natural History Museum, US Mint, City Zoo, and historic Larimer Square. The festive LODO district, Denver Art Museum, state Capitol, the Denver Botanical Gardens, and the world's largest bookstore, the Tattered Cover, are also nearby. Denver has been designated "Sport City USA" and is also a major gateway to mountain recreation. More than 52 restaurants lie within one mile of the hostel.

Historic 101 year old building converted from apartments to hostel. Beautiful architectural wood and details; still in restoration process.

Maximum stay is one week. Exceptions can be made for conferences, classes and other reasons, but must be cleared with owner. No local persons are allowed to stay. We prefer travelers, not residents.

Children under 17 are not accepted.
