Moab hostels

Choosing to stay in a hostel in Moab can have numerous advantages for travelers. Because the area is very popular for its outdoor activities and the surrounding national parks, a hostel can be a great place to meet other travelers with whom to share the cost of daily travel expenses, to book a spot on a tour, or to ask staff for tips about activities like canyoning, rafting, and horseback riding. A hostel is also a good option for travelers who wish to save money while keeping a roof over their heads and receiving more personal service than is offered at any of the region’s many campgrounds.

When booking a hostel in Moab, guests will find themselves situated on the outskirts of the town but within close reach of the national parks. The bars and restaurants in the town center are about 1 mi away (a distance easily covered on foot, by taxi, or on bicycle), and popular outdoor locations like Dead Horse Point State Park can be reached by car within 45 min.

A good hostel in Moab for couples looking for inexpensive accommodations is The Lazy Lizard. This property doesn’t just offer dormitory rooms, but it has private double rooms (with shared bathrooms) and even small wooden cottages with separate entrances and double beds for those who would like some extra peace and privacy.

The Lazy Lizard hostel is also a great option for solo travelers: those on a budget will find the dormitory beds very reasonably priced and will find the hostel ideal for meeting fellow travelers. Male- and female-only dormitories are available for those who would prefer not to have mixed rooms. The hostel is particularly popular among solo travelers, as it has a welcoming community kitchen and plenty of outside space in which to relax and chat with new friends. Staff can also help outdoor adventurers to book reservations on group excursions.
