Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Central LoDo location walking distance to Coors Field and Union Station
- Lively social atmosphere with an on-site bar and restaurant

Tóm tắt nhanh: It's a premium hostel with great vibes, but the nightclub downstairs and street noise mean light sleepers will definitely need the complimentary earplugs.
Được đánh giá bởi @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!

Vệ sinh & Bảo dưỡng
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.
