Crested Butte Hostel Laundry — Hotel in Crested Butte

Up until staying here, I did not like hostels but this is the first hostel I enjoyed and would happily stay at again!

All of my roommates were women traveling solo even though I didn’t think I could request this. I’m not sure how intentional this was but I really appreciated this as someone who was also a woman traveling solo. This made it easier to make a friend to ski with!

There was a big common area and there was often a little community hanging out there. There were people watching movies or football games and others playing board games. Everyone that I met was great!

There was plenty of kitchen equipment and space so that you could cook a solid meal if you wanted which was a nice option to have.

Before arriving I was concerned about parking because there is a street where you can only park on one side on even numbered days and the other side on odd numbered days which would mean you’d have to move your car every day. I arrived just around check in time on a Friday and didn’t have an issue finding a spot where I didn’t have to worry about this.

It’s super easy to get to the base area to ski from here as there is a shuttle stop on the same block, and it’s also easy to walk to downtown CB.

I found this place through Airbnb but saved around $20 by booking directly through the hostel website instead so I recommend looking into this for anyone interested in booking!

My only constructive feedback was that the women’s bathroom is not easily seen depending on where your room is located and my room was right across from the men’s bathroom with the door often propped open which made it harder to notice the sign. On the first night I didn’t realize that this was the men’s bathroom and used it a few times, and I know I wasn’t the only one who did this. It might be helpful for new guests if the hostel did something to make it more obvious that there is a separate bathroom for women for those guests who are on the opposite side of...

Would have been nice but my door lock didn’t work the whole time I was here and there was no one there to get to fix it.

The whole time I was there the door didn’t lock if I left. Which is basically the only thing I ask of a hostel. If I called or texted the urgent number no one answered and no one is there in the mornings.

Then one morning I got locked out of the room (no clue how because the door would never lock) and myself and a few other people called and texted and they never responded. Another person staying there shimmed the door with an old hotel card so I was able to get back in. We knew I was using the right code because it would flash green but not do anything, but if we put in the wrong code then it would flash red.

So yeah, not somewhere I can really recommend staying.

Since they responded- I called the urgent line once each day from my personal phone and twice from another person’s number (as my phone got locked inside of the room). I also texted the urgent number, with...

We stayed here in the Queen bed room (shared bathroom) from Sunday-Tuesday in late July at the end of the Wildflower Festival. It was a gorgeous clean space with a well-stocked kitchen with more coffee options than I expected. The downstairs is air-conditioned but the rooms are not but come with a fan. When we visited, the days were in the low 70ºs (F) and night swere in the 40ºs (F) so it cooled off as we slept. Very nice 12-minute walk to most restaurants in town. Highly recommend staying here. The only strange thing that I experienced was that both the sink and shower faucet handles worked in the opposite direction than what was indicated for hot & cold. Also, for someone who gets up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, the bright bathroom lights (on a motion sensor) are a shock to my eyes. Don't know how to solve that. That's life in...
