Awesome Hostel

All the staff members were wonderful. Greatly a preicated their hospitality. The pancakes on the weekends were delicious. Staff sets up activities to do as a group. No issues with the room.
Irvin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As usual, I had an amazing time here! I had so many wonderful conversations with different travelers. The group trip to Bishop’s Castle was even better than I had anticipated! I’ve been there before, but the people on this trip made it even more enjoyable. Plus, the castle had new additions since my last visit! I want to give a special shoutout to Flor and Thiago for cooking an incredible dinner with steak, bread, and yucca potato. Sai kept the bonfire going and had some thought-provoking conversations. Many more I could mention I just don’t remember everyone’s names ! Thanks for making my trip unforgettable, Rad Hostel! Can’t wait to come back again

6/10 Good

The staff was welcoming. She showed us around. I like the idea that they have daily and nightly activities. Our room is clean buy needs tender loving care/ update. The air conditioning is not giving cold air and was loud. Not able to rest.

Edward, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A highly recommended place!

The hostel is very nice. Spacious rooms with private bathrooms and comfortable beds. They serve breakfast and offer various activities. The only downside is that you need your own transportation because it's a bit far from everything.

So friendly and affordable. Will definitely be back if in the area.
Layla-Vera, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One of the nicest hostels ive stayed in. The vibes are immaculate. Quiet clean rooms, the remote check in was perfect for us needing to roll in at 1am, my only complaint is that its a little dusty and tough on any allergies, but otherwise our night was awesome.
Darraugh, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

They were very accomodating and nice. I like how they have multiple spaces to hang out, socialize and play games.

Jennie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What an amazing hostel, great experience from check in to check out! Great people make a great atmosphere. Room was small and not very noise proof if that bothers you. We had a great time and would stay again when we’re next in Colorado Springs.
Neil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hostel was very much a hostel, which is a plus! The staff were friendly and provided a welcoming atmosphere. There was plenty of space to just exist in public. I was able to both work quietly and also socialize depending on where I was at in my day without issues. The private rooms are reasonably quiet, and a great deal if you’re looking to have a private, clean space during your travels.
Alyssa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

First time staying at a hostel and don't know if there is any other way I want to travel now. From the beginning when Maggie checked me in, I had great service and was surprised with how clean the facilities were. Throughout my stay I met the manager, various volunteers, and the owner- all of whom were very polite, great to chat with, and went out of their way to make my stay as pleasant as possible. There were activities on some of the evenings of my stay, which started at 7pm and ended by 9pm. I was only able to attend the s'mores night on Friday, where I met other guests and had a great time.
Sara, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cool concept bad part of town

It's a nice unique little place in a really bad part of town. Unfortunately there is a lot of street racing going on just 30 yrs from where I was sleeping. (Corner closest to the street). We had 2 issues with people coming up to us at our visit that were from the trailer homes behind the establishment they came through the fence. The people that stayed here were all really cool and down to earth. I would recommend but be guarded with the people coming though the fence.
