How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

I don’t have a great deal of experience with hostels, but I do with hotels. Looking to save a few bucks, I looked up cheaper stays and found this hostel online. Seeing the great reviews, I decided to take a chance and I’m so happy I did. First of all, it is CLEAN Secondly, the staff are POLITE and very friendly. There’s always someone at the the front door, there is a keycard both to get in the building and again to enter your room. I feel completely secure and aside from maybe the occasional strange local, the guests were all very nice as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED And even if you’re not concerned with money, staying in a hostel is an interesting experience in its own right.

If you’re looking for a top notch hostel experience in Denver then look no further than Ember. The house is clean, the service is exceptional, and the location is central. A tea station, full kitchen, laundry, plenty of bathrooms and privacy curtains for the bunks were all amenities I used frequently. After staying at many hostels of the years this is by far the best.

Unfortunately my flight was canceled and I was rerouted to Denver. Luckily I had did a little research on Hostles in the Denver area, and I am very happy I decided on Ember. My 2 days were great! The check-in was seamless, and Calum at the front desk went above and beyond to make sure I had a great stay! He was assertive to all my questions, and made some terrific recommendations in the area. I was also impressed with the location. The Public transportation was only stops away, and I was able to visit all areas of Denver. I always felt safe, and the Hostle was very clean, and beautifuly decorated. The HOT shower was amazing, and I was able to have a home-cooked meal in the kitchen from Trader Joe's located a few blocks away! I will definitely be back in the future!! Thanks Ember for a lovely stay!
