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

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

The management has a good heart and the right spirit about hostelling (including a free burger and hot dog on Saturday night). The place is a tad dirty (bring flip flops), a tad disorganized (slow check-in, ran out of toilet paper), but the location is a pleasant walk from the downtown, and just across the street are a Thai restaurant,... 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

I’ve read good reviews about it, but when I got there after traveling 24 hours, it was really shocking to see this place, an old house that has not been well conserved, with a gloomy look, even a nylon sealed window. I doubted but I stayed because it was the best place according to what I’ve read. The place is... more

I booked this hostel for a few nights through their website. I read great reviews of it in Hostelz.com and thought that it would be nice. I arrived at the hostel to find that it looked nothing like its picture in the website, however, the neighbourhood seemed ok so I went inside to check in. As i entered the hostel... more
