Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Such an enchanting hidden gem with the most marvelous people! Beautiful relaxing lounge with a full bar and timeless couches that hug you back! Conversations you've been missing your whole life flow with the city lights. Drifted away on the terrace as the nightlife whispered in the backdrop. Suddle walks away from charming restaurants and tourist attractions. Every step away is a charming scenic route that will sweep you away until returning for a blissful sleep with a late night chat awaiting!

I stayed in the maps (female only) room, and had a great time overall! Staff was super friendly, and the place was clean. Not a bad deal with the six dollar beer and shot combo! Lots to do right around the corner on Larimer, and Union Station is barely over half a mile away.

The property is really cute and clean and I enjoyed having my own private room with a bathroom and lots of light. This is unique for a hostel! The Beer Barn that is located behind the establishment and under my window was super loud until early in the mornings when it finally closed—on weekdays no less. I discovered earplugs in the lobby and that helped a lot.
