Overview
The Ember Hostel in Denver is a cut above what many people would consider for a hostel. It is located in Capitol Hill and it is close to many of the most popular attractions that the city has to offer. The property features just nine rooms, but it is set in a beautiful building. The boutique hostel is a social place where people can get together and have a fun time, even if they do not all know one another.
The property has a range of features in the rooms that help to set it apart. Guests will find five-star, comfortable bunks that have pillowtop mattresses and plush pillows. There are in-bed outlets, along with lights, storage, and privacy curtains.
The Ember Hostel offers even more for the guests to enjoy. It has a fire pit and a table out back, as well as a 12-person Jacuzzi that is quite popular. This can be a good place for guests to meet and socialize, and to unwind after they have had a big day out exploring all that Denver offers. The hostel also has concierge services, laundry facilities, free WiFi in the public areas and the rooms, showers, ironing boards, a 24-hour front desk, and more.
Guests staying at the property will be close to History Colorado, as well as the Denver Art Museum. Plenty of places to dine and grab a drink are in the area, as well. Options include The Fainting Goat, Lowdown Brewery, Charlie Brown’s Bar & Grill, and Benny’s Restaurant.

Pros (+) Very friendly, clean, nice place. I didn’t take advantage of all the amenities though.
Pros (+) They have the best coffee I've ever had. I was given an upper bunk but had shoulder surgery five weeks ago. After sleeping in the upper bunk the first night with great difficulty getting in it, they let me switch to a bottom bunk the second night. Great place. Great location. Recommended.
