Myself and three friends reserved a room in the hostel but were (by the luck of the draw) instead placed in the guest house. This was an awesome experience. The owner was more than helpful, even driving us around Denver and hooking us up with coupons and valuable tips and information. Not to mention, her great granddaughter who lives there... more

I stayed at the hostel for 5 days in late April and enjoyed my time there. Its in a nice quiet, residential location yet is still very close to many restaurants, bars, great public transportation, and is minutes away from downtown Denver. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful and the other guest were great company. As a... more

We loved staying in Denver! We stayed at the guest house, great neighborhood, house is so romantic, nice, fun... Staff was specially nice with us, as friends. Life is about relationships, not only places. Enjoy! :) more

If you expect a downtown multiple star place, don't book this hostel but if you're after a budget alternative in a quiet, easily accessible neighborhood this place is just fine. Slightly old and a little decrepit in some parts (windows, shower) but with fantastic and enormously helpful staff. I've traveled a lot and though this hostel is not the most... more

Dirty, Dingy, Dumpy; w/ Madman as proprietor!!‎ - Richard‎ - Today The manager is a constant drunk and or drug addict.

One morning, he unlocks my private door... more

Summary of my experience at the Hostel of the Rockies: Beware, Ramon the proprietor, is quite the lunatic. Upon arrival, I knocked on his door for registration. He said I knocked too hard, and only policemen knock like that. He did not have the private room which I had booked 3 weeks in advance. He broke the padlock off my... more

The owner refused to email me a recpt on request over the phone, took offence and cancelled my reservation rudely and abruptly....thank you God for looking out for me IN ADVANCE ! more

I REPEAT, and I'm sorry about the all caps, but I feel that strongly about this, DO NOT EVER, EVER STAY AT THIS HOSTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was physically attacked by the owner (who was drunk) and had to call the police on him in able to get my stuff and get my money back. The bathrooms were filthy, hell, everywhere was... more
