Located in Crested Butte, within 28 miles of Western State Colorado University and 28 miles of Gunnison Pioneer Museum, Crested Butte Hostel provides accommodations with a shared lounge and free WiFi...

My son and I loved hanging out in the cozy living room with other guests at night, playing games and just chatting by the fireplace. We had the single room with two twin beds, and the beds were extremely comfortable.

    It was a beautiful hostel with very nice amenities. Plenty of space to cook and hangout in common area with a fireplace. And the shuttle stop to the mountain was 200m away and comes by every 15 minutes. Extremely convenient location!

    Great location! We could walk from our room to the lifts in our boots! They offered ski storage as well. Nice hot tub but crowded of course after the ski day. Spacious and clean room with a mini kitchen.

    Location was great, and amenities exceeded expectations to be honest. Particularly for something classified as a 'hostel', the cleanliness and quality of the facilities were a very pleasant surprise. Would definitely stay here again, kudos to the proprietors.

    From the perspective of being a "hostel" everything was top notch. Clean, smelled good, excellent kitchen facilities. The men's shared bathroom was well kept and clean. Easy walking distance to downtown.
