Pros: They have the best coffee I've ever had. I was given an upper bunk but had shoulder surgery five weeks ago. After sleeping in the upper bunk the first night with great difficulty getting in it, they let me switch to a bottom bunk the second night. Great place. Great location. Recommended.

Pros: This was my first time a.) visiting Denver and b.) staying in a hostel and c.) I could not have liked it any more than I did! The staff was helpful and welcoming, the decor and ambiance is unique and inspiring, and the connections you make with the other guests are electric! I could not have had a better first exposure to staying at a hostel. The location of Hostel Fish is also perfect - in Lower Downtown (LoDo) right near the Coors Field so there are a ton of cool bars to check out (like The Retro Room and Sidecar) or great places to eat (Ignite Burger and you'll definitely want to check out brunch and boozey breakfast cocktails at Snooze). Or if you feel so inclined to stay in, there's a small kitchen and bar in the hostel (with decent prices) so you don't even have to take off your pjs! I highly recommend staying at Hostel Fish for your Denver travels.

Pros: Relatively cheap (I stayed two nights for ~$60 a night), lots of cool restaurants in the neighborhood. I would highly recommend for people traveling on a budget who want to stay downtown, but don’t want to shell out $100 or more per night for a bunch of niceties you don’t need. Communal bathrooms at the end of each floor, a bar to hang out in by the front desk, and functional bunk rooms. Lockers for your valuables, and the front desk will gladly rent you a lock for $3 if you forgot one. If you’re looking for good food late at night, you should definitely check out Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs! Delicious and cheap, and only like a block away.
Cons: It didn’t bother me much, but the venue downstairs is quite loud. I could see the bass bothering light sleepers, but fortunately I sleep like the dead. Not a problem for me.

Pros: Good bar
Cons: Rooms had like 4 triple bunk beds. Uncomfortable
With a stay at 11th Avenue Hostel, you'll be centrally located in Denver, a 7-minute walk from Denver Art Museum and 13 minutes by foot from United States Mint. Featured amenities include a computer station, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, and a 24-hour front desk.

Pros: Great location, affordable. Ideal for people who want to be downtown and don't need luxury.
Cons: Definitely more of a hostel than a hotel, although I stayed in a private room. You have to pay $3 for a worn out towel. Clean the bathtub before you use it and bring flip flops if you plan to take a shower (all showers are shared). My mattress was pretty uncomfortable but not the worst. The locks on the door are kinda sketchy. The older white gentleman checking people in blatantly ignored an Asian American woman in order to serve two ditzy white girls first. He also overcharged me but then when I went back and showed a different staff member my voucher I got a refund for the overcharged amount.

Pros: It was quiet and nobody bothered me. I had a single room with a toilet-- not the tidiest place, but it wasn't scary either. If you're 20-something, not picky, and traveling cheap, I highly recommend. Definitely not a luxury hotel, but hey, you get what you pay for. I feel like I got full value out of my 60+ dollars/night here. I'm glad I didn't blow $250 down near the convention center. I just needed a safe, quiet place to crash for 5 nights, and I got that. Staff were nice.

Pros: Clean, efficient, friendly, value, accomodating of request for shower,.Personal assistance using the get-around for their guest PC and re-setting my TV channels. Casper at the desk Walter the maintenance man helped me with those. This was my third stay here. I came for the Phish shows and plan to patronize the 11th Ave. Hotel every labor day weekend when Phish comes.

Pros: The staff were super friendly and attentive- the first day there was a problem with our bedding, and they changed the sheets right away. Overall, the place was ok, reasonably clean for a hostel (they could stand to clean the common shower area more often, however- hair was clogging the drain).
Cons: It would be nice to get a few more appliances in the kitchen area so guests could actually use it. The rooms have no A/C and tiny fans that don't do much, which can be a problem during the summer. The beds are hard as a ROCK..I'm 26 and my back was killing me by the time I left. Also, there is a club next door that plays loud club music all hours of the day. Not the hostel's fault, but if you're looking for a good night sleep, I'd suggest requesting a room that doesn't face 11th ave.
Good
6.2
Pros: Location and price.
Cons: No A/C, only fans and open windows. Also, the bathrooms were not cleaned and the floors in there were always dirty - so bring flip flops. One more thing - never any hot water. The "beds" are just single mattresses. I'd never go back.

Okay
4.0
Pros: Location was pretty good. Staff are friendly.
Cons: Price! Way too expensive for such a hostel. I'm not sure what the justification is for $30 a night for an 8 dorm room. There must be very low and high seasons. Some really, really stinky patrons. Never smelled so bad and slept so poorly because of certain guests. Maybe that's not at the fault of the hostel, but they should have solutions readily available. The bunk beds were the most basic and extremely cheap. The mattress often slid off the frame. Only 1 shower for an entire floor of dorms. That was more than 50 people sharing 1 shower!

Pros: The staff were very nice and helpful.

Pros: Nice staff, simple nice room, option for private bathroom, great location. Loved fan and open window instead of air conditioning.
Cons: Despite it looking very tidy and clean, not as relaxing as staying at a nice hotel. But for the price, totally awesome and good enough for me. I would recommend it.
Okay
5.7
Pros: Cost, cleanliness, and location were all fine.
Cons: Noisy. Not just the other residents, but the pipes made a lot of noise at night. The plumbing was poor (almost no water pressure in the shower). And even with the curtains drawn, the room leaked a lot of light from the hallway at night, so it never really got dark.
Excellent

Pros: The people who work here are most definitely awesome!!! not sure where to eat, where to look around to have fun ask them and they will tell you the best place's to go!!!
Cons: Not to sure of the people living here feels like they full time live here just some of them but not a bad thing just to keep in mind but I felt 100% safe and I'm sure if any problems they will take care of it. But IV had a great time here and will come back so really can't say anything bad

Cons: we walked in for a room. quite a scary lobby but I saw it was cheap and we would only be resting until morning. unfortunately my partner lost her ID so we couldn't stay. we never entered the room and only had the key for less than 5 minutes. they were rude and wouldn't return my money.

Top tips for finding the perfect Denver hostel
- Many of the hostels in Denver can be found in or around the downtown area, where there are many cultural landmarks, including the Denver Art Museum and the Denver Performing Arts Complex, in addition to other attractions like The United States Mint and the Colorado State Capitol building. There is a good number of bus routes and a light rail system that provide public transportation; besides these, I-25 and I-70 are major vehicular routes in the Mile High City.
- You will find one of the best hostels in Denver on Grant Street in the city’s Capitol Hill district. Ember Hostel is a renovated mansion with lodgings comprising private rooms and 4-person dormitories with shared bathrooms. The hostel also has a Jacuzzi tub and fire pit, which should prove popular among those seeking maximum value for their money. Located near the Colorado State Capitol, the Denver State Museum, and The United States Mint, Ember Hostel is also close to Charlie Brown’s Piano Bar & Grill, where you can eat and drink.
- Another great hostel in Denver is Hostel Fish on 20th Street, which is surrounded by places of interest like The Riverfront, Coors Field Ballpark (home to MLB’s Colorado Rockies), and the Central Business District, to name a few. Accommodations here include several 8-person dorm rooms that are perfect for groups seeking modest lodgings just outside the city. There are buses that run along 20th Street, if you care to explore, with Mexico City Lounge and Ian’s Pizza nearby for food and refreshments.
- 11th Avenue Hostel at the corner of N. Broadway Avenue is a no-frills property in the heart of downtown Denver, so it is easy to get around on foot and explore a few of the sights in the area, such as the History Colorado Center, the Denver Art Museum, and Civic Center Park. The accommodations here include 4-bed dorm rooms and private rooms, all of which have en-suite bathrooms. A communal backyard provides a nice social setting. BurgerFi and CO-Brew are among the inexpensive places to eat and drink in the neighborhood.
