We had booked a "family room" in this hostel for the price of a normal motel room, and had therefore expected to receive services comparable to a motel. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The family room was tiny and only contained 2 queen beds and a chair - too small for a family. There was also a tiny bathroom with no ventilation, so all the smells had to be disposed of through the room. Disgusting! There was no TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, ice machine or even breakfast. Instead, we had to strip the beds ourselves when we checked out and take them to the laundry room. The room was clean and in good condition, and we could use the hostel's facilities: common rooms with TVs and the communal kitchen with communal refrigerator. So was it all a big mistake? The other guests seemed to like it, but we were disappointed, as we would have gotten much more value for the price in a motel than we did here.

The variety of different guest - Israel who wanted to hike in the local area, France who stopped for just one night, Germany who stopped for two nights, CDT who stopped for one night. Denver who stopped for three nights. Many different enjoyable people from many walks of life. The hosts were always available to help and listen and share when asked.

Great accommodations. Very clean, great bed, fluffy large towels .

Great place

This is a great place for those who like hostel life. It has a large kitchen with an orderly system for storage and cooking, clean rooms, and extra-clean toilet and shower facilities. The employees and the guests were very friendly and helpful. Hostels like this might actually help heal the country! There should be more hostels like Inn the Clouds!

Everything you could ask from a hostel. Really good overall. Only negative are the office hours.

Perfect home-base for exploring Leadville. Visited with my boyfriend and had a private room which was clean, though the bed was a tad hard. Bathrooms were super clean. Fun to have ping pong table and seems like there were cool people to connect with if we had more time to do so!

Comfy hostel in the mountains! Highly recommend.

Inn the Clouds Hostel was exactly what I hoped it would be -- a quiet, convenient, community-building opportunity as I build knowledge of and prepare to run the Leadville Trail 100 Run. Most people staying were either preparing for the run, to crew or pace runners, to hike 14,000' mountains every day, or resting and resupplying as they continued on their through hikes of the Colorado Trail. So most people were either already tired or trying to bank sleep. Guests were very considerate regarding noise and light, and my co-ed bunk room was just perfect. There are other arrangements possible, too -- a smaller bunk room could be rented by an entire group, for instance, or there are private rooms in the main house or out back. Everyone was very considerate in following the rules regarding kitchen use, pets, etc. bedding and a bath towel is included -- if you want a hand towel or washcloth, bring your own! I have already booked my next stay at Inn the Clouds!

I’d be wanting to stay here and had an opportunity last night. It was exactly what I needed for a short night of sleep. It could be a little cleaner, and it’s clearly seen many many travelers. It’s a friendly place and even my introverted self was drawn into a couple conversations that never would have happened at an ordinary hotel. A cool place to walk out from either away from town towards mountains or down into town for a steak and athlete viewing.

Excellent place to stay!

Great place for a one-night hiking stopover; they are well-equipped to handle people passing through and have built a sense of community amongst those staying. Clean, safe, and friendly environment.
