I called about an iron and lock for which they told me they had both. Upon arrival they didn’t have matching keys for any locks so I couldn’t lock up my belongings. When they gave me the iron it leaked out water and I asked if they had another one which they didn’t. After checking in 30 minutes later I checked out. They would not refund me because they said I had checked in.

The host Jared was super accommodating and welcoming! The property itself is filled with history and is not boring and uniform like most hostels i have stayed at in the U.S. I will definitely be back and would recommend a friend. Jared if you read this, cowboy Neil at the wheel here, thanks for the hospitality!!

This was my second time in a hostel. I stayed here case it had good reviews, close to Union Station, and it wasn’t far from the Greek Theatre where I saw a concert. I didn’t have a bad an experience, the staff seem to keep to themselves until you need something or speak to them. I did a shared room with four bunks. It was quiet for the most part and comfortable. The bed was comfortable, an outlet, a reading light, and some privacy with the bunk’s privacy curtain. They had some storage under the bunk which I liked for my luggage and bag. I used my own lock. Showers were clean, and they had towels. The bar had its music loud, so I couldn’t relax in the bar/lounge/kitchen. The front desk isn’t 24hrs, it closes at 2am with the bar. As a solo traveler, it be nice if they had someone there 24 hrs so someone like me would feel some security. The vibe I felt was it was mostly a bar atmosphere with a hostel. If I ever visit Denver again, think I’ll try the other hostel.
