Ember Hostel

Plenty of shops within walking distance. Cool and comfortable vibe for travelers.

This was a bunk in a hostel and thus basic. Spotlessly clean. The hostel is located in an old, gorgeous mansion - which made it unique. Friendly staff, full kitchen, hot tub and outside fire pit. The property was secure and I felt safe there. Would stay again.

I’ve stayed here plenty of times in the past and I have zero complaints. Of the two hostels available in Denver. The ember hostel is my favorite when it comes to atmosphere, friendliness of staff, and it’s in the Capitol Hill area, which is within 2 miles of places like Ball Arena for a nuggets or Avalanche game. It’s about a seven dollar scooter ride to the game, but there are a lot of places to eat nearby. And on this particular visit, accidentally discovered how close the Denver art museum was. If I could change one thing about this hostel, I would make it closer to Ball Arena than it is. But the sacrifice on distance to the game is worth the overall experience in comparison to the other hostel in Denver.

Gorgeous property, great location, immaculately maintained. Beautiful backyard. Only downside was staff on final day couldn’t be bothered to have hot coffee prepared nor acknowledge me at check out because both times she was too engaged with her computer screen at front desk, which is simply weird for one working in hospitality.

The hostel is well located and the staff was super friendly. It was considerably clean taking in consideration how many people were using the bathroom/shower. My only issue was the it was super hot inside. They have portable AC units and the one in my room did not work. During summer it’s probably impossible to sleep comfortably.
