Hostel staff are very friendly and helpful, flexible w special requests as long as no impact to other guests or their operations. Very clean in all areas from kitchen to common area to bathroom and dorm area. Phenomenal location, walkable within downtown minturn. Dorm beds are the best I’ve seen for a hostel (and I’ve stayed in many in US, Europe, Asia, Central America etc) as they are exceptionally private and separate w a small curtain allowing access that would help w noise, lights, etc. Only real complaint (beyond price - the most expensive dorm bed I’ve ever booked...but par for the course during high season in the area I suppose) is combo minimal secure storage (w your own lock, a lockable large drawer under the bed) and offsite parking in a non-secure lot short drive from an I70. Supposedly, there has never been a breakin, but as I’ve learned multiple times through my life, that is always true until its not (w first hand experience to back it up) and the pandemic has created hardship for some. This lack of secure indoor storage would also make it tough to dry out clothing/gear after outdoor activities on storm days. Again though, if you travel light or are unconcerned about drying out gear or theft and are flexible timing wise w working within the kitchen (nice but somewhat small if Bunkhouse is fully occupied I would think), then this place is a great option! Finally, while I dislike the “no outside alcohol” policy, I love that they recycle AND COMPOST!

A little noisy at night but well designed youth hostel type experience. Staff was great

Great spot- super clean and new. Guests and staff were friendly and courteous. Highly recommended!

Great hostle, very clean and comfortable. Perfect for traveling alone or with a small group of freinds.

LOVE this place. Turns out Im not really into Vail itself, but going to the Bunkhouse made my trip. The staff is exceptionally friendly and Id go back just to spend time with them.

Vail is a very expensive place to sleep. The Bunkhouse is very close to Vail and easy to park at, In general the Bunkhouse is very welcoming but the space you sleep in is small. Highly recommended for people pn a budget.

Perfect for a clean place to crash. Parking is a short walk from the building and not onsite.

Great location! This was my first real hostel experience and was quite fun. The bunk was comfortable and cozy. Great place for a good nights rest before a ski or hike.

Always clean and easy. A good night sleep before skiing. Great location to Vail or Beaver Creek. Provided ear plugs do the trick, wish more hostels were as simple and easy as The Bunkhouse. Nice staff. Parking is off site, but once you know where it is - super easy. Enough food options/bars in town. Great for getting up early and hitting Vail or Beaver Creek first thing (quick drive to either).

There was no soap in the bathrooms. People were talking all night in the hallways.

Good clean hostel. It was definitely the most expensive hostel I’ve ever stayed in but considering it was more than half the price of anything in the region Christmas week, it’s a demand issue. Very comfortable pods with privacy screens, lights, lockers, & surprisingly super warm blankets. Only complaint is the hallways started to smell like a locker overnight probably from everyone’s sweaty ski gear :) Only tip for the management: don’t charge $2 for tampons as a luxury good, making them more than a candy bar in the same vending machine. That doesn’t seem to be in line with your messaging.

Very Cozy. Staff is very chill. Nice touch with the Squatty Potty spray. Lol.
