Gap between the bed and frame.
Brian K.

The Hostel seems to have some good things going for it like the location, price, game area, mattresses, bathrooms, coffee service, and kitchen. However, it has some not so good things going for it. I encourage you to read on. The location is great. It's an easy 5 minute walk to the lifts. The price is much lower than the other hotels in the area. If you're on a budget, it will save you some money. The game area in the basement was nice and there's a kitchen down there too. The bathrooms in the rooms look newer and the mattresses seemed to be in good condition. When I checked in, the staff told me there's "free coffee" lobby. I was impressed because the coffee was actually pretty good. That is, after I reminded the staff to brew it... They kept forgetting. However, when I check out, I noticed a "Resort Fee" for $4.56 a night on my bill. Did I miss something? I didn't know I was staying at a resort! Ha! I asked a front desk clerk about the "Resort Fee" and he said it was for things like the coffee and fee ice. I said: "Oh, I thought there was a secret hot tub somewhere that I didn't know about. This being a resort and all..." Personally, I find it really shady to tell people the coffee is free, then sneak a charge onto their bill for it. They even advertise free coffee on their website. Here's a quote from the site: "A coffee experience in our lobby, with organically grown, just-ground blends from Jackson's own JH Roasters, served up in coffee brewers that keep it hot and fresh. So tasty. And also now FREE." False advertising!!! It's not free!!! Also I'm being charged for ice? It's 8 degrees at mid-day and there's two feet of snow on the ground. Why would I need free ice? I could leave a jar of mayonnaise out in the sun all day and it wouldn't spoil. Have you ever heard of a hotel charging for ice anyway? Shady! Beside being charged for "Free Coffee" and for the ice. There were some other issues. The mattress was too small for the bed frame. It actually looks like the bed frame was hammered together with 2x4s. It seemed to go hand in hand with the plywood walls that don't filter any sound. I could hear my German neighbors playing techno music late into the night. The worst part was the door! It didn't fit into the frame very well and the weather stripping was limited to the bottom. There was a terrible wind blowing through the gaps around the door and my feet were really cold. It got so bad the second night I had to stuff newspapers into the gaps around the door. No kidding! I even took pictures. These guys even charged me a "Cancellation Fee" of $9.13 when I decided not to stay a fourth night. I gave them a couple days notice about the change in plans but they charged me anyway. I worked in the hotel business for years for many different chains. We never charged anyone a fee unless they cancelled after 6pm on the night of the reservation. I leave it to you to decide if the "Free Coffee" discounted rate, kitchen and location are worth it. Personally, I was really disappointed and don't trust the staff. I'll never go back.

King with private bath.

J and I were looking for a place to crash that was clean, convenient and cheap. The Hostel fit the bill. We stayed in a king with private bath for $59/night. Like others have mentioned, the bathroom was surprisingly clean. And spacious! The room itself was also huge, and features a somewhat suspect (we each got a bug bite during our stay there) "king" bed (aka: two fulls pushed together). Other than that the room was pretty bare bones. The walls are rather thin... so beware. You can definitely hear your neighbors. There is actually a cleaning person who comes by during the day, as J and I were surprised to return to a neatly made bed and empty trash cans. There are free amenities (toothpaste, razors, gum, etc) and coffee + hot water/tea available in the lobby. You can find games, reading material, fridges, a microwave and a tv in the common space below. Both are open from 7:30am-midnight. Wifi is $5 for your entire stay, but I can't comment on signal strength as J and I passed on this. The staff members are very friendly. OVERALL: The hostel was a perfectly fine place for us to stay a few nights. If we hadn't had a problem with bug bites in our room I would have bumped up the rating to 3.5/4 stars.

okay let make this clear - this is a HOSTEL, not a HOTEL - you get what you paid for..if you want luxury, go find somewhere else. Hostels isn't about privacy and peace; it's about meeting other travelers and having a blast. With that said..... Wi-Fi for your whole stay for additional $5, and towels are provided. That bathroom was actually really clean...I was surprised by it. Great location, great deal for it's price. A minor disappointment was that all my other 3 roommates were sleeping at 11PM...WTF??? This is HOSTEL people. Last time I was at a hostel I drank til 3 am with awesome Aussies. Nevertheless, this place is a great bargain. A few things to note though. This hostel is different from other hostels: - No complimentary breakfast. - No 24 hour lounge; it's open from 7:30AM~midnight. ....no breakfast I kinda understand....but no 24 hour lounge was a real disappointment; that's actually how you meet other travelers and get good infos...

Everyone had a blast spending our evening downtime playing games

Pros: 1. Inexpensive. Jackson Hole is expensive and saying…read morehere can be very accommodating on the budget. 2. Availability. If you don't book well in advance, Jackson Hole may not have enough lodging options. 3. Comfortable beds and clean linen, sheets and towels. 4. Quiet and safe. I wasn't sure what to expect from this hostel but everyone observed quiet hours at night and folks kept to themselves. Cons: 1. It's hard to even find the entrance! There are no signs which actually advertise "Cache House" 2. No onsite parking. You have to find street parking which is not always easy if you arrive at night. 3. It can get quite suffocating to sleep inside the bunks especially if you're on the upper bunk. You only have a tiny fan for air circulation and the curtain blocks any of the outside AC air. 4. Our locker kept jamming and our combination wouldn't work. At one point we just kept our luggage in our car and only carried the essentials with us to the hostel. I'd say this is definitely one option to stay in Jackson Hole for a max of 1-2 nights provided you couldn't find something better in terms of pricing and availability.

My friend and I were traveling through Wyoming to visit some parks and were looking for some…read morecheaper accommodations. Jackson Hole is a pretty expensive place to visit and this hostel was one that had (less) bad reviews and not so crazy prices. ($371 for two nights, Thurs and Friday. Yes, still quite pricey) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The concierge called us the day of to make sure we were still coming, and was fine to us checking in around midnight. It is located in the same building as the anvil hotel, and the check in area is through an entrance in the small parking lot onsite. ....don't try to park there though, there is only street parking across the street. It can be limited. Check in process was fairly easy. There was someone at the desk to help us get sorted. They told us the queen bed we reserved was not clean when we got there, so they gave us a new bed right away. Thankfully it was a Thursday night and there were less people so it was easy to arrange. The entire place is downstairs under the anvil hotel. We were allowed one locker (big enough for one carry on luggage), and one drawer under bed (two big backpacks). They also provide you with a shower towel and another small/face towel. You cannot bring food or drink inside the bed area. My friend and I loved the numerous individual shower rooms, equipped with your own toilet, sink, shower, lavender scented shampoo conditioner body wash! They also had multiple rooms with just toilets as well. The sinks are at the end of the hall and had labeled sections for dirty towels. The other reviews stated there was no AC, which is true. I did not find it a problem, even though we came here July 7-9 2022. There is no ventilation whatsoever but It was relatively cool when I stayed. There was a small fan that kept us cool in our lower bunk. We kept it on the entire night. The showers also had no ventilation so after showers, it would stay humid unless you kept the door open to dry. Living spaces was comfortable. There was a Couch area, community bench and table, and a few tables and chairs. Unfortunately if you wanted hot water (for food), you had to go upstairs to ask the front desk for hot water. They would only give you a cup though bc the front desk doubled as a coffee shop. No refrigerator as well. Lock on our locker kept getting jammed or not working so we had to go upstairs to ask to get it fixed. There was basically no one working downstairs, so if you wanted anything, you needed to go upstairs to front desk to ask about it. They were nice and polite but it was a hassle. I liked that this place was in the middle of Jackson hole/downtown so it was walking distance to coffee shops, shopping area, small park, restaurants. There was also a farmers market down the street the Saturday we were leaving! Overall, pretty cool hostel that might have upped my expectations of hostels forever! But I would assume it would be nice since we paid a pretty penny... Definitely would stay here again if I were visiting. Weeknights are a lot quieter, Friday and Saturdays are a bit busier with more people in and out
