First time staying at a hostel and don't know if there is any other way I want to travel now. From the beginning when Maggie checked me in, I had great service and was surprised with how clean the facilities were. Throughout my stay I met the manager, various volunteers, and the owner- all of whom were very polite, great to chat with, and went out of their way to make my stay as pleasant as possible. There were activities on some of the evenings of my stay, which started at 7pm and ended by 9pm. I was only able to attend the s'mores night on Friday, where I met other guests and had a great time.

Cool concept bad part of town
It's a nice unique little place in a really bad part of town. Unfortunately there is a lot of street racing going on just 30 yrs from where I was sleeping. (Corner closest to the street). We had 2 issues with people coming up to us at our visit that were from the trailer homes behind the establishment they came through the fence. The people that stayed here were all really cool and down to earth. I would recommend but be guarded with the people coming though the fence.

What an amazing hostel, great experience from check in to check out! Great people make a great atmosphere. Room was small and not very noise proof if that bothers you. We had a great time and would stay again when we’re next in Colorado Springs.

The hostel was very much a hostel, which is a plus! The staff were friendly and provided a welcoming atmosphere. There was plenty of space to just exist in public. I was able to both work quietly and also socialize depending on where I was at in my day without issues. The private rooms are reasonably quiet, and a great deal if you’re looking to have a private, clean space during your travels.

Decent place to stay
We really liked the feel of the hostel, there was games and really cute areas to hang outside in. There was a blizzard going on the first few nights we stayed, our room was freezing (the door wasn’t well insulated). We called and asked for more blankets, the attendants came right away with some as well as a space heater! They are so nice! The room was nice, but after the first two days they must have turned on the heat and it didn’t turn off all day or night and we were very warm. We called to ask if it could be turned down, and the assistant didn’t know how to do this. We thought we would crack the window but there was no screen which wasn’t very safe. The agreement we sign said no drugs (including pot), however outside the hostel and in our room we could smell it emanating from a room nearby and nothing was done about this. The bunk bed was very rickety, and the top bunk didn’t have a ladder so we put one mattress on the floor. The bathroom floor was a little sticky. While we were gone the attendants changed the blinds as they were broken and we didn’t even have to ask so that was cool too. The breakfast was mostly fruit bread and milk, no eggs but the kitchen was very nice. Overall I would stay again but probably in the summer.
