I stayed in a private room. I loved this place. It was: clean, confortable, well funished, and pretty quiet.
The bathrooms were meticulously clean, and I often saw the cleaning lady doing something. The kitchen was great. It was so clean that you would feel bad if you left a huge mess... so everyone kept it very clean. I kept my food in the main fridge and had no problems with people taking my food. The furniture is older, but clean... so it just makes you feel at home. I felt very safe, you cannot get in without your key, and the door locks automatically.
There is a bus company that runs downstairs, but I had no problem with any noise. If you are a lite sleeper, then just request a room away from the bus area. The bed was okay. I've slept on worse.. but I've also slept on better. The parking could be an issue for some. At night you can grab a free spot outside the hostel until 8am... but there is a place down the street (mercury cafe) that takes up alot of those spaces at night. During the day... you can park it across the street for $2.50 max a day (24hrs).
I would very highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay. It is within walking distace of most of Downtown Denver.

I stayed there for only 2 days, but it was a clean and comfortable place, right next to downtown, specially compared to another hostel I stayed. I walked during nightime without any problem. The only drawback could be that there are not many bathrooms, though they are shared, but I would definetely recommend this place.

I stayed there three nights in April. It is very conviniently located, since its about 5 blocks away from the main downtown street, and 15 minutes walking to the Amtrak train Station. Its not one of the best neighbourhoods to walk at night, though. They charged me around 20$ and you have to pay a couple more dollars if u want sheets. It has pay telephones inside that u can use, small bathrooms, kitchen. Its on the first floor by the stairs. You can go there anytime, including during the night and someone will arrange your stay. I stayed in a two-twinbed rooms (4beds) room, and then i stayed in a 3 twinbed room (6beds), this last one had its own bathroom. Theres a bus agency right downstairs and it was kind of noisy, but for young travellers that are looking for a good deal in a great location...this is it !!!

One of the friendliest places That I encountered on the journey from East coast to West was the Melbourne Hotel/
Hostel in Denver.14 years ago we first stayed there in
1987 on the recommendation of an elderly gentleman in Denvers' train station.
The Melbourne Hotel was a minature United Nations,with Irish,Zimbabwean,Swiss,English and many other Nationalities
all experiencing true American hospitality.
Wonderful place,safe and clean.I am glad to see it is still going strong.
