This was a very nice hostel! The price was very reasonable and the accomodations are nice. Showers felt clean and modern, beds were comfy, and I really appreciated that fans were provided for each dorm bed. I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Denver. I'd agree with another review that the dorms smelled a little weird but I got over it pretty quick. It's still a hostel after all.

Had a great stay here with some friends. Edward was super friendly and helpful with checking us in and offering us some recommendations. The Hostel is centrally located with quick access to highways if you are traveling to locations outside of downtown Denver. The common areas were super nice and loved the outdoor area. Rooms and bathrooms were relatively clean, the only recommendation would be that the basement dorm room has a slight musty odor but was manageable. Would definitely stay here again!

Ember Hostel provided an outstanding hostel experience with a fun social atmosphere, stylish accommodations, and excellent customer service throughout the stay. The property had a modern and welcoming design that immediately created a relaxed and comfortable environment for travelers. The rooms and shared spaces were spotless, thoughtfully organized, and beautifully decorated with a cozy boutique-style atmosphere that felt much more upscale than a typical hostel. I especially appreciated the comfortable common areas, outdoor spaces, and the opportunity to meet travelers from different places in such a friendly environment. The staff members were welcoming, professional, and always willing to provide local recommendations and assistance whenever needed. Everything throughout the property appeared polished, clean, and professionally maintained. This is definitely one of the best hostel experiences in Denver and highly recommended for solo travelers, groups, and anyone looking for affordable accommodations with a social and modern atmosphere.

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.

We had two great stays here in their (one!) double room. All the staff were super friendly and helpful from booking to checkout. The hot tub and the fire pit were a nice extra and gave us lots of space to enjoy Denver. The location is also great with walking distance to many museums, the State Capitol and the botanical garden

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!

It was totally a scam for me, it looks more like a hookah place than a nice Hostel (yes! you can smoke in the garden but it won´t be nice if you are trying to have a nice time in the jacuzzi or talking when everyone else is smoking). They have a cat as a pet, so you´ll find cat hair all around (even in the kitchen!!) I wasn´t aware of that. I asked for cleaning service in the room bc it had a bad smell, and they just brought a spray :/ and I couldn´t open the window because it was winter. So, if you´re trying to book for a lady, I wouldn´t stay here. The guys in front desk were nice but I had to look for them all the time...
