The common area is really nice and cozy - couches, Netflix, books, etc - the bunkrooms & bathrooms are immaculately clean, and the prices are sooooo reasonable. After two nights in the bunkroom, I switched to the private room (once it became available), which was definitely worth it. The vibe during my staff was kind of "do your own thing", which was perfect. The outside areas were exactly what I needed - a ton of grass, some hammocks, etc. Location is great for Gunnison. We spent the few days walking around town, using computers at the local library, getting snacks at the supermarket, eating breakfast and dinner at local restaurants. Super walkable location. Very quiet and safe. Would 1000000000% recommend to anyone in the area!

Despite being on the small side, it's loaded with amenities including bikes to borrow, hot tub, sauna, complimentary warm drinks (coffee, tea), wine and cookies in the lobby. Breakfast was small, but lots of fresh options including an orange juice press. Convenient location and easy walking to Elk Ave. Rooms are on the small side and are a little tired, but are clean and cheerful. All of the rooms have noise cancelling machines to help combat the lack of insulation in the walls. While not loud, you will hear everything going on around you.

Coffee, tea and hot cocoa is also available throughout the day. I think what sets this place apart is its cozy atmosphere and extra little touches such as freshly baked cookies daily at 4pm, and complimentary red wine served from 4 to 5pm. The staff is also very friendly. The heated ski storage is incredibly convenient during the ski season, and the shuttle to the slopes is just a few steps away. While breakfast was good, the space is not set up for it and it can get crowded quickly. I wish they'd open earlier than 7:30 during ski season. The warm savory and sweet pastries were delicious, and there is yogurt, fruits, boiled eggs, toast, oatmeal and cereals. Enough for us to start the day off right! Overall, we'd definitely return when visiting Crested Butte!

Right at the start, Tom (manager) was very friendly and efficient at sorting out a mix-up with my reservation. Small courtesies go a long way. There's a mini-library with a refreshing collection of books for people who actually like to read (Stig Larsson, Ron Chernow, DH Lawrence; Tara Westover's Educated, even Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, for goodness sakes!) The small lobby is a very nice place to sit for a bit; the courtyard is great, and the rooms deliver all the basics. If you're looking for Four Seasons elegance, this isn't the right place for you. But if you're on a budget and looking for a place that's restful and energizing, in what can be a very pricy part of Colorado, this is it.

The hostel is clean, and the others staying (mostly hikers) have been awesome to share a living space with. For those who prefer it, there are no private rooms just bunks, but that's not a problem for us. There's also no onsite laundry but there's a laundromat down the road and an RV park that's closer that advertises laundry even closer. There are multiple showers, two bathrooms- all of them being super clean. Wifi is available here as well. Plenty of places for grub and to look around while staying. The Country Market around the corner has anything you'd need. Lake City is a pretty charming little mining town and the Raven's Rest Hostel is an awesome place to stay on a budget. I'd definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone coming through!

I…read moreloved the common area with plenty of comfortable places to sit, and the kitchen was very well stocked. I didn't really partake in the social atmosphere as I was very tired, and the people there seemed older. It is certainly not a young person party hostel. However, my friend I came with previously came a year ago and made good friends. The main issue that my friend and I felt made our stay uncomfortable was the restrooms. They don't have stall doors for the toilets. They just have a flimsy curtain that you can't secure in place, which was super awkward and made me feel on edge every time I was in there. Their showers also don't have doors, but that is more acceptable. We stayed in an 8-bed mixed dorm, and it was comfortable. I really liked how they have full-size vertical lockers with keys that you can use for storage. When we checked in, they said one of us had to be on the bottom bunk and one on the top. It worked out for us, but if there are other beds available it doesn't seem fair if both people have a preference for a bottom bunk just because you are friends. People in hostels are usually solo travelers anyways and need to share a bunk bed combo with a stranger.

This hostel is your quintessential hostel. It's actually a HUGE place, I'm impressed how many…read morepeople it can hold. It has a big kitchen, big living room, big lawn, and big den downstairs with TV/couches and a ping pong table. It's clean-ish, pretty much your standard hostel. The showers were a pleasant surprise - quite clean actually on the ladies' side so that was a huge relief! The beds were simple bunks in the room I was in, and I was top bunk. Low ceiling so I couldn't sit all the way up but I could most way; i was also right by a water pipe so I could hear water running every time someone showered etc, but I stilled crashed from exhaustion/Im a heavy-ish sleeper. The room was a bit warm; with the window open it was way too cold so it was a wee bit stuffy but again nothing too bad. I slept fine overall, it was pretty decent as far as a hostel experience goes. Overall - if you're coming in late and leaving early for like 1 night (which I was), this hostel will serve your needs fine! But it is restrictive in how much you can move around/put your stuff in shared rooms so bear that in mind. Parking also interesting -- you can park along the south-west fences surrounding the place but when I came at 9p on a sat, there were no spots. I briefly parking across the street on Alder (to the west), but the folks who own the home came out and informed me i couldn't stay but COULD park by the stop sign across the street on 7th (to the south). The hostel said it was fine too, and I parked there overnight and nothing bad happened (ie towing). Overall: this place is fine for a short stay as far as I'm concerned! But you get what you pay for.
