Hostel Fish

The kitchen not great

This was my first time at a hostel and the stay was pretty good. The only issues were the room temperatures were warm, and only 2 of 3 showers were running. It was pretty loud until 2-3am because of the bar area. I had no issues with it, but my traveling partner did. The location was really good though, it was really close to lots of restaurants and shops. Bikes and scooters on site were very convenient as well. The staff was cool and friendly. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.

It was a great experience. Friendly staff, walkable area. The only thing i felt was missing is they could use benches in the shower area to set your things on so they don't get wet and make it easier to get dressed

I stayed here 2 nights out of 3 (Oct 8th and Oct 10th) while I snuck in a flight to Vegas (on Oct 9th) for the Avs road hockey game. Since my round trip flight to Vegas was a No-Tel trip, the Hostel Fish allowed me to keep my bag in storage until I came back for my second reservation. Which was perfect for me! They have a bar that’s open until 2am. They offer an acoustic open mic night on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month. Also each Thursday at 8pm you can pay $10 for the Pub Crawl that starts with a free drink in the Hostel Fish bar and discounted drinks at the other bars on the map! They also have a kitchen, a place to practice up on your darts 🎯 game! Bring some quarters (or your credit card) to play pac-man too! They also have some common rooms available and I noticed an elevator! Bathrooms are clean and secure! It’s basically located on the edge of downtown Denver. If you’re making a trip for a Rockies baseball game you can easily walk to Coors Field that is just 2 blocks away! One of my favorite hangouts is the Giggling Grizzly which is about 1 block away. I also noticed a cool pool hall about a block away but I didn’t stop in to check it out. I can also walk to Union station and get a train to the airport in less than 10 minutes, and for $4, I could take a scooter to Ball Arena for an Avs/Nuggets/Mammoth game, it’s also very doable to walk it. I had a great time at the Hostel Fish! Wish I could share more but I’m running out of characters remaining!

Check in was was easy. Room had a card lock, bathroom a keycode. Storage locker was large enough to store my carryon, backpack and still have a bit of room. Bed was comfortable and check out easy!

No parking. I did not look before I booked so it is my fault however I had to wait until the bar tender made drinks before he would check me in. It took him 15 minutes to mix one drink honestly. Everyone was in slow gear and all stoned. I waited 5 mins to check out before the young stoned man even looked up and that is only after I said something. He was so out of it. Unless you are a young stoned kid do not stay here. Btw no tv and only two towels not hand towels or wash cloths. And only public parking in a dangerous lot that was full of drunk kids partying all night and driving in and out. I was almost sure that my car would have been smashed up this morning. I got lucky but it was a bad night. Parking sign said $12 for 24 hours. I ended up paying $25 for 12 hours and had to buy 4 more hours in the early morning to complete my stay.

Pretty awesome property with so many great personal touches! The single rooms felt like an affordable art hotel and if you dig online and check the chalkboard there are recommendations for locals view of what’s good in Denver. A lot of care has been put into the bar and kitchen and I didn’t feel like it was inconvenient to have the kitchen next to the bar. For safety it was fine for me especially considering there are so many lime scooters. Yes there are some poor people nearby but it’s pretty cool that Denver has a coalition for the homeless that has housing to break the cycle. Expect some noise weekends but I was fine with silent mode on AirPods Pro! A scooter gets you to the cool rhino arts district and 15 minutes away to Colfax where the really nice immigrant food is if you want to get decent veggie food. The only downside I felt was that whole there were some cool international guests if you have Americans staying there there are a lot of super right wing guys. Denver is popular with conservative Texans and Floridians and they live in an alternate reality and kept bashing Denver while subtly promoting Miami and Texas. I loved that the transportation was easy- never had to rent a car the whole trip & Denver provides public bus rides to several resorts! Overall a total gem!

If you're looking for an affordable option in the heart of Denver,and don't mind sharing a room? Then this is the place for you. Easy connection to and from the airport; Friendly staff; walking distance to cafes, bars, restaurants, and attractions. Rooms and common areas cleaned daily. WiFi, fresh towels and amenities such as shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, included. In-house bar with daily happy hour specials, is popular with both guests and locals. Weekly guest activities and pub crawl.Would definitely stay again.

I was in a 4 bed dorm. Stayed one night. Each bed had a fan, light, and outlets for charging. There were lockers available for securing your belonings so remember to bring a lock. One shower stall was out of commission but there were two others available in the same bathroom, and they've probably fixed the broken one by now. The shower stall had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available in place. Not sure if they supplied towels, I brought my own. Stayed one night and had no problems.

I liked the aesthetics of the hostel. Each room had a different theme. A full service bar, friendly & curteous staff. It was located downtown and close to train station. The drawbacks were the stairs, there was an elevator, but did not go to all floors. Other than that, I would recommend this hostel.

First time staying at a hostel, overall it was a good experience. Could’ve been a cleaner, but for the inexpensive price, I would stay there again.

Staff were professional, accommodating, and friendly, kitchen and restrooms were kept clean and stocked, beds had privacy curtains which made it comforting and lounge areas were quiet and comfortable 💯

At first glance, the hostel seems great. It’s huge and within an old Victorian style building. The staff is friendly and there’s a bar. However, after a night or two, you realize that sleep is nearly impossible before 2AM. There is loud, very loud music that plays til the bar closes. The climate control is strange. My room was 58 degrees one night, when it was raining and snowing and then almost 80 degrees when the weather was warm outside. The bathrooms are very clean but the rooms need a serious deep cleaning. The floors, baseboards, filthy. And there seems to be lacking maintenance, as my first bunk’s privacy curtain was half off the track. If you want to party and drink, this hostel is perfect. However, if you want quiet at night, look elsewhere.

The property was very clean which I liked. There was a customer who was yelling really loudly at 6am which unfortunately woke most everyone up, but that was not the fault of the Hostel. The stay was great.

I came to town for a Rockies game and I couldn’t have had a better stay. The hostel is an easy walk to the stadium and Union Station, where there are plenty of excellent restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. And for the price given the location I’d say it’s quite a deal. My bunk was comfortable, the showers and bathroom well-maintained and the lounge was a perfect morning meditation spot. I would stay here any time I come to Denver and I would highly recommend.

Hostel Fish was awesome. Everything we needed was clean and available.

The place is very nice and well located. It might be a bit noisy on the weekends for this reason. The rooms are comfortable, and so are the bathrooms, although out of three toilets, two were out of order. The staff was very attentive and helpful.

Good experience overall. Guest and staff were all friendly. Restrooms and showers were always clean which was my only concern before arriving. Happy to say that there were no concerns once I arrived. There’s a bar and yes you could hear the noise but it wasn’t anything too crazy. If anything it made me want to going because the atmosphere was great. The rooms were clean.

Clean bed and bathroom, felt homey with their decorations, located close to Union station. Also cheap drinks.

Staff were nice Dirty and upkeep building - paint pealing, brick walls crumbling and moldy shower curtains

Property was awesome unfortunately it was super loud so too partying and loud music. I chalk it up to me being under prepared. Should’ve brought east plugs like I had intended

I was in town for a single night for a Rockies game, and Hostel Fish was a great place to stay! I stayed in the Maps room, and it was very comfortable. This was my first time staying in a hostel, and it's safe to say my expectations are high for other Hostels now. Oh! And they have a mystery pack vending machine that is so fun! Seriously, spend the $10 to get a humorous memory of your time there.

Definitely had a great time! The bed was really comfy and the AC was cold! Didn’t even turned on the small fan in my bunk. Staff were polite and friendly. Rest room was clean and got everything I basically needed . There are a lot of interesting things to do. If you are a bit picky or have a hard time sleeping with a bit of noise, this place may not be for you. I did sleep alright tho. Sure, there are some areas that could have been better but I will surely consider this place when I get back to Denver.

Do not book the graffiti room if you want to sleep before 2am. There should be a notice that this room shares a wall with the bar/lounge. You’ll hear music and people all night.

Paid for the most expensive private King room here, for multiple nights...and it was so insanely loud with bass playing and all sorts of noise pollution from nearby bars/"Derby Day" or whatever celebrations I was bombarded by noise until after midnight. After the first night I cancelled my planned third night of staying there becaus ethe experience was so bad. If I wasn't so exhausted from travelthat first night, I would have gotten no sleep. I would strongly avoid this place if ANY noise from nearby bars/loitering crowds is going to annoy you. Noise seems to be a common complaint among reviewers. This place needs to heavily invest in soundproofing all private and sleeping rooms. ....That said, I saw other people complain about bar music downstairs...I'm almost positive the loud sound and bass I heard was from a block or two away outside the windows, not from under my feet. Also, for the price paid, a small TV or something could have been mounted on the wall. It felt overpriced once I was there - I don't recommend to anyone if they actually want rest.

I loved the Queen room ..comfy bed and a great shower. Had a great evening at the bar … Cheers

Really cool building, comfortable and accessible accomodation, centrally located. What I did not like was the young men working there having no respect or awareness. It was clear they all know eachother and neglected their duties to have very personal conversations and inappropriate public speech and behavior. If you dont mind dude bros talking about their d!cks, it won't bother you.

Super friendly staff. They made me feel welcome and recommended to the best places to eat and drink. Facilities were clean and everything worked

Staff were professional, accommodating, and friendly, kitchen and restrooms were kept clean and stocked, beds had privacy curtains which made it comforting and lounge areas were quiet and comfortable 💯

Rude staff gave the run around that address on ID needed to be more than 30 miles then when told my partner was there for 1 night from Pueblo more than 30 miles he then said neefed out of state ID to stay there and denied already paid stay. I requested refund from Expedia but have not heard back in a week.

Super friendly staff

Great location, staff wasn’t the friendliest and were often rude during my stay.

I called SPECIFICALLE to see "if i come in now, will there be a bed for me?" She said yes. Got there later waz told no. "She said she told me no. Have to wait for checkin." Had to wait till checkin.

Just an over night on my way home from a ski trip. The staff was terrific, offering assistance with getting my luggage and skis up the front stairs! Easy check in, great proactive communication with arrival details and directions. Comfy bed. Thanks for a great stay!

Hostel Fish is always an amazing place. Extremely friendly staff, easy downtown access to everything, affordable and feels like a home away from home I stay here so often when traveling to or through Denver. There’s a dispensary directly next door and a piazza joint across the street. 1Up arcade is just blocks away and Coors Field one block away making this an amazingly located spot. Great little dive bar with games and $6 beer & a shot deal. You can’t beat this place!!

Good place to stay. It is close to Union Station only 15 minutes walk.

Great place to stay the night, close to downtown nightlife. Shares a building with Ophelia's and parking is closeby.

Great location.

It was a cool experience although it was very loud most nights. I would bring my own pillow, and flip flops for the shower! Also reusable water bottle. The homelessness was extremely Bad outside of the hostel

Great location and amenities, will be staying again on short trips for sure

Clean bed and bathroom, felt homey with their decorations, located close to Union station. Also cheap drinks.

A bit loud during night but the vibe is impeccable, they provide earplug also. Don't forget to bring your AirPods. Beers are inexpensive, bathroom is clean, you will have a good time there.

The location is great, the place was really cute. The only issue was with people coming in from the bars/clubs late night and making a lot of noise. I know that has nothing to do with the hostel lol just keep that in mind

My overall experience at this place is awesome! Second time staying here. Upon arrival I found the bed accidently unkept but it was no problem upon letting front desk know. They immediately cleaned and changed my sheets and then all was right. The crowd is younger and chill. The room I stayed in above the bar was exceptionally quiet, maybe because it was a Tuesday night? But overall I enjoy this place. Close to downtown, open kitchen vibes, bar and balcony for social gathering. waking distance to everything downtown.
