Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- Central LoDo location walking distance to Coors Field and Union Station
- Lively social atmosphere with an on-site bar and restaurant
- Uniquely themed rooms with comfortable Tempur-Pedic mattresses and privacy curtains
Γρήγορη Ματιά: It's a premium hostel with great vibes, but the nightclub downstairs and street noise mean light sleepers will definitely need the complimentary earplugs.
Αξιολόγηση από @travelinglight369: I had the best time staying here! The social vibe is unmatched, especially at the bar and lounge. My dorm was comfy, and I loved cooking in the shared kitchen to save some cash. The outdoor terrace overlooking Denver is a total vibe. Perfect for solo travelers!

Reality check
The noise from the downstairs music venue and the street can be overwhelming, and private rooms are priced as high as standard hotels.
- You want to meet other travelers and enjoy a lively bar scene
- You prioritize being walking distance to downtown Denver's best spots
- You appreciate boutique, themed decor over generic hotel rooms
Καθαριότητα & Συντήρηση
7
- Housekeeping: Generally decent daily cleaning, but high turnover means occasional missed spots or overflowing trash in common areas.
- Bathroom hygiene: Shared bathrooms are functional and cleaned daily, but heavy guest traffic leads to wet floors and stray hairs by evening.
- Maintenance: The historic Airedale Building has character, but expect some squeaky bunks, finicky AC, and general wear-and-tear.
- Linens & towels: Beds feature surprisingly plush Tempur-Pedic mattresses and fresh linens, though a few guests have reported isolated stains.
- Odors & scents: Usually fine, but the mix of a downstairs restaurant, a hostel bar, and backpackers can occasionally result in stale beer or musty smells in the hallways.

5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The building used to be a 19th-century brothel (the historic Airedale Building), and the decor leans into this boudoir history.
💡The beds actually have Tempur-Pedic mattresses, which is a massive upgrade from standard hostel foam pads.
💡There's a strict 30-mile radius rule—Denver locals are banned from staying in the dorms.
💡The private rooms are beautiful but can cost over $150/night, making them pricier than some nearby budget hotels.
💡Some guests report the AC/heating can be finicky, and the rooms can get warm during the summer.
