Do not use the ground floor disabled room too noisey. Freezer machinery from adjacent kitchen run & rumble all night. Images on web 5 Aug 11 site are correct but exagerated. There is 2 Toecalli roads..the hostel is in the town not in the outer suburb. Good kitchen. Car aprking outside. Could walk to shops, cafes which are not too exciting - in early June many were closed. A quiet town in first week of June - not a lot to do. Chairlift for summer starts 4th July.

Just returned from a CO road trip that we tried to make affordable. Did some camping in other towns, but while in Crested Butte decided to try this hostel. It was GREAT! The shared unisex bathrooms and private room were very comfortable and very clean. There is a big common room on the main floor with a television, several large tables and a full kitchen. We chose to eat our breakfast at the hostel to save a little money--and then were able to find many reasonably priced restaurants in town. The location of the hostel is PERFECT! We rode our bikes or walked into town daily, the hostel is just blocks away from many hiking, biking trails, and parks. What a perfect place to stay when trying to save a little money--and have a great location!!

I stayed in a private room at the hostel, which was about three times the price of a dorm-style room. The room was a good value in a resort area, and the rooms and bathroom were reasonably clean (could have been better). The facility was quite at night, included free wi-fi, laundry facility next door, kitchen facilities, BBQ, and a very helpful front desk staff. Overall, it was a very adequate place to stay while mountain biking in the area for several days.

I have been coming to CB for 15 years, and my parents have been visiting since the late 60's. Housing is far from a bargain in this town, but when you consider the ammenites the town has to offer, we keep coming back. My fiancée an I were in town planning our wedding for next fall and to hike. Given that our trip was planning on how to spend our money next fall, our goal for this short wknd excursion was to stay cheap. We stayed in the first floor private bath room and found it to be adequate. If the bedspread and shower curtain were newer, this room would be excellent. We did not see the mold in the shower as one of the other reviewers claimed. There was dark tile and dark grout, but no mold. There was a little bit on the shower curtain, however I didn't consider it to be a big issue. Considering some of the hostels I have stayed at in Europe, the was really clean. There is a considerable fan noise adjacent to the room, however it never bothered our sleeping.

Yes, it is more expensive than comparably equipped hostels in other parts of the country (or world) however it is probably the most affordable housing option in Crested Butte.
