A bit far from the center, this place has everything you need - nice beds, lots of common showers and WC's, great common area (even with a piano!!!), helpful staff, free internet (the strenght of the wi-fi signal needs an improvement anyway) and free coffee. Doors close at 10PM, you have an access code, dont loose it :)

The office closes at 10:00PM. Wouldn't you know it, I found and caught a bed bug at 1 AM. And of course, there's no late number, so all I could do is leave a message and send an email. This is happening right now, 19 APR 2012. I'm now sitting up, unable to go to sleep, totally creeped out, and... More

Free wifi, free coffee, free phone & newspapers. Helpful desk staff and large comfy sofas. They'd even put up a ton of Christmas lights and a tree. A 2 night visit to Boulder on business turned into a rather pleasant stay. Large room had desk and sunny double aspect with views of snow capped flatirons while I worked. Some of... More

I was intimidated by the negative review here on tripadvisor and decided to checked it out before making the decision about whether to stay or not. It turned out to be much better than many of the negative reviews here so I felt compelled to share my experience. For the location and the price, this is really a nice option.... More

Well this place made it easy to be uncomfortable . If it weren't midnight I would be gone after an hour in this room . There was... More

For lack of other options, I went here. I give it two stars just because it IS the cheapest place in town for a single traveller, but it is not a good value. The house on 13th street that has the single rooms is the dirtiest hostel I've seen (and that's after a year traveling around Asia and Africa). I... More

I should have known what I was getting myself in for after reading the other reviews on TripAdvisor, but the Lonely Planet said it was better than the hostels in Denver, so I stayed here. Boulder is a lively, walkable city that looks like a great lot of fun, but I didn't get much of a chance to enjoy it... More

PROS: This could be a really great hostel if the owner (seems like a very nice man) would listen and care about and act on the reviews on Tripadvisor. The hostel location and huge building is great, the cleanliness is way better than last year, the ladies bathroom was clean, They are very smart to use plastic mattress coverings on... More

with sheet and towels it's $34 a night for a dorm bed. It's loud, they have a lockout 10-5, the mattress was covered to protect against bedbugs which made it really uncomfortable to sleep. There is no atmosphere as you would find in other hostels. A lot of people live there and are not travelers. The internet was not working.
