The hostel building is an old elegant apartment building converted into a 50-bed hostel. The conversion began in April 2005 (Yes, we're new! New location, new owner). The hostel has dorms with bunk beds, 2, 4, 6 or 8 beds per dorm. We offer private rooms in the Guest Haus which is located 5 blocks from the hostel.
 The hostel is centrally located to the many cultural attractions in the "Mile High City". With public transportation just steps away, hostellers have easy access to the Museum of Nature and Science, City Zoo, Denver Botanic Gardens, City Park, Cheesman Park, 16th Street Mall, Colorado History Museum, Fine Arts Museum, and historic Larimer Square. The festive Lodo district, Colorado State Capitol, and the world's largest bookstore, the Tattered Cover, are also nearby. Denver has been designated "Sport City USA" and is also a major gateway to mountain recreation. More than 52 restaurants lie within one mile of the hostel. We are a 20 minute walk from Coors Field and Rockies Baseball!!
