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

This is not a hostel in the actual sense, more like a flophouse for down and out locals. The room I stayed in was filthy and the neighborhood very dangerous. I would definately recommend staying somewhere else. more

This place was my lest favorite hostel in the US. It was pretty dirty, the rooms stank and there were pretty strange people staying there (people who spend there last dollars on a last night sleep before getting homeless). I didnt feel comfortable there, though the staff was ok more
