Whether you're bunking with friends or booking a private room, this is a great home base for music fans looking to explore the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hostel nails it. Walk to popular concert halls, lounges, and late-night food spots without needing a ride. With a 24-hour front desk, you’ll never worry about coming back late after a gig. While the hostel vibe can be lively, the private rooms offer a quiet escape when you’re ready to crash.

Food and Drink Options

While 11th Avenue Hostel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, it’s surrounded by downtown Denver’s buzzing food scene. Grab late-night eats just a block or two away, or hit up nearby cafés for a sleep-in-worthy breakfast the next day. Communal kitchen areas also provide a DIY option for snackers and meal preppers.

Nightlife Options

This spot puts you near some of Denver’s most popular bars, lounges, and music venues. Whether you’re looking for a chill brewpub or a high-energy nightclub, you’ll find plenty within walking distance. While there’s no live music on-site, the location means you’re never far from the action.

What People Say

Guests love the walkable location, especially for events downtown and at nearby concert venues. The hostel’s clean rooms and friendly staff get frequent shoutouts, and many solo travelers mention feeling safe and welcomed. The mix of private and shared rooms gives flexibility for different budgets and group sizes.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the building is a bit older and that shared bathrooms can get busy during peak times. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs—this is a hostel, after all. But for the price and location, most agree it’s a solid trade-off.
