    Great hostel with fantastic facilities. Good communal areas across the hostel and the individual shower/bathrooms meant you could have real privacy, unlike a lot of other hostels. The staff were also really friendly and helpful, I had a delayed flight and when I showed up the following morning they had saved me a bed so I could immediately check in. Also felt very safe as a solo traveller

    Great location near lots of museums, not far from bus stops which can take you to union station and gets you all around the city. Hostel staff were great - asked for recommendations and was not disappointed! Upon arrival I was given a different room (6 bed to a 4 bed) which was more roomy and I didn’t have to share at all when I was there! Bathrooms were plenty and clean and towels were provided.

    The staff were very helpful, placing me in a closer building because it was safer. It's cheap.

    The location was phenomenal, this was the first time I ever stayed in a hostel and I honestly expected the worst. But it was great, the facility was comfortable and I felt safe. I will be booking again the next time I’m in town.

    The 11th Ave Hostel is an exceptional budget hotel. The location is very convenient for many Denver attractions, and for our needs - handy for travel via Amtrak.
