Nice hostel, near city center. Comfortable rooms. Staff is very friendly and helps you whenever you have questions. Lockers are available and easy to use. Guidance is there. Price is moderate considering the fact that it is very close to the center

So fun! So cool! Such a good location! I had a great time and it was the perfect one night stay for a red rocks show - my friends and I had a blast and I love that there are fans in the beds! Would definitely come back.

Good: Clean (very clean bathrooms for a hostel), very spacious four-bed shared room, well located. Not-so-good: It’s loud! The hostel hosts a bar and the noises coming from the streets are loud. My ear plugs worked only to a certain extent. The fact that the hostel bar opens to the public, basically anyone off the street can roam around the hostel (except the locked rooms). Safety?!? Inconsistent friendliness (or just basically apathy): Certain staff members are friendly, and an equal number just have an “do I care?” attitude. Maybe because they’re unpaid in exchange for free accommodation? Kitchen/Fridge: Staff’s food items seem to take up half the fridge space. Maybe have a separate fridge for them? Staff would relabel guests’ foods during fridge cleaning. Not classy as F. Do it more discreetly if staff wants to claim food from departed guests. Kitchen is more like a kitchenette next to the hostel bar…super tiny and not good for cooking, esp at night when the bar gets packed, when bar guests take over the only kitchen table. Summary: For the price it charges as a “premium hostel, ” the basics like kitchen amenities and friendliness you’d expect from a hostel just weren’t there. I’ve stayed better for a lot less money. If you can overlook the bad and wanna party, this place is good because cleanliness and location are definitely a plus.

BEWARE - HOSTEL FISH IS A SCAM! They scammed us out of $450!!. HOSTEL FISH had a NARCOTICS DEALER (police arrested the guy!) in a shared room and as a result kicked "everyone out" that was assigned to the room and refused to give us the prepaid money back!

We stayed here in December and were thoroughly disappointed by our stay. As it was advertised as an "upscale, premium" hostel we thought it worth it to pay a little more but the actual hostel rooms and amenities were equivalent to most other hostels. Then, during our first night we were woken up at 4am on the first night to three men yelling at each other and physically fighting with each other before it sounded like somebody tumbled down the stairs. Afterwords we heard them yelling and shouting for another half hour or so while one of them was audibly retching. After a while one or another of them began yelling repeatedly "help! someone help!". At this my partner got out of bed and stuck his head out to find out what was happening and was told it was a "long story, don't worry about it" by the person throwing up who may also have worked at the hostel. We later learned that the hostel is above a music venue and the two businesses share an elevator. It's possible that the scuffle we heard was caused by concert goers who had drunkenly wandered into the hostel, but that didn't necessarily make us feel any safer After that first night, we decided to stay somewhere else, rather than risk another night of interrupted sleep when we had wedding events to attend the next day. Upon check-out we inquired whether we might be able to cancel our second night because of the disturbance but the staff member told us that "it's a hostel, that's kind of what you get." We did not get our money back. I've stayed at many hostels and have never experienced something like this. If you're choosing between this hostel and a more expensive hotel closer in to the Mall or the Milk Block, go with the hotel. The savings aren't worth it.

I’ve hosteled for decades and around the world. Before arriving, I wrote with a few questions and they responded immediately. Best yet, they have storage in case anyone forgets a lock (though they sell those, too.) Upon checking in, the staff, while short-staffed, was so kind and efficient. The rooms, even the dorm rooms, have a theme. Mine was Paris and it was charming. Chill vibe with lots of things to do. The bar area is cool. They do pub crawls and other events. It’s a great place and I, a single female traveler, recommend it to all kinds of travelers.There are all kinds of layers with different excursions and happenings around the area.

Good location, very stylish and especially clean for a hostel. Parking lot is available for 24 dollars for 24 hours right next door. Im loving my room! It is CLEAN, The matrace is comfy and for the special plus, the walls are full of with banksy graffiti ??. Definitely would recommend.

First time staying at a hostel and I love it. MacKenzie is great, showed me everything, gave me tips on downtown, food options. She's great and has a great personality and sense of humor. Need more stars

Definitely super nice for a hostile. The bar is really fun, Rea was there a bartender and she was great! I’ll give you a drink ticket when you check in and if you leave a review you get a free drink! Definitely coming back next time I’m in Denver.
