The Spotlight on Ember Hostel

Social, Stylish & Central – Ideal for Music Lovers on a Budget

Located in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, Ember Hostel delivers both comfort and character. Housed in a historic mansion, it’s a boutique-style hostel that blends vintage charm with modern amenities. With the Colorado Convention Center just 1.5 miles away and major music venues within easy reach, it's a great home base for your next concert night out.

The vibe here is friendly and social, with shared spaces like a garden, sun terrace, and even a hot tub where guests often mingle after a night out. Add in free WiFi and 24-hour front desk service, and you’ve got everything you need for a smooth, music-filled stay in Denver.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you’re catching a show downtown or at the nearby arenas, you’ll appreciate Ember Hostel’s central location. It’s close enough to walk or catch a quick ride to most venues, yet tucked just far enough away to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep post-show. The 24-hour front desk makes late-night check-ins a breeze, and the hostel’s social vibe offers plenty of opportunity to meet fellow music fans.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, communal stay
  • Solo travelers on a musical pilgrimage
  • Couples making a weekend of a live show
  • Fans wanting a quieter, relaxed recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to spend on tickets, not beds

Food and Drink Options

While Ember Hostel doesn’t have its own restaurant, there are plenty of local eateries and late-night food spots within walking distance. Guests often rave about the nearby casual dining options for that post-concert bite. There’s also a shared kitchen if you’re looking to cook up something simple after the show.

Nightlife Options

You don’t have to go far to keep the night going—Capitol Hill is known for its eclectic bar scene, with live music venues, breweries, and lounges just blocks away. The hostel itself is more chill than rowdy, perfect for winding down in the hot tub or chatting with fellow travelers on the terrace.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise Ember Hostel for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and social atmosphere. Many reviewers highlight the beautiful historic building and the welcoming communal spaces. It’s often described as one of the best hostel experiences in the U.S.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that parking can be limited and that the shared rooms can get a bit noisy—though that’s to be expected in a social hostel setting. Also, if you're looking for luxury amenities, this isn't your spot—but that's part of the charm.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a budget-friendly, social, and central place to crash in Denver, Ember Hostel hits all the right notes.

Bad

Liked: It is very classy, the black lady BJ was very sweet and helpful me get my refund before I flew out, thank you BJ for your stellar service.
Disliked: The bunk beds in the bunker below ground floor were riddled bugs that left bites all over my legs and back plus someone such as myself would imagine it to be cool enough to sleep but it felt hotter than Guadalajara night. The front desk hipster dude double charged me even after showing him I had purchased the room with 16 other people for that night on Booking.com. and for fellow flower children who one would imagine being loving and sharing they were rather pretentious and selfish. These hipper-than-thou hypocrites sadly dont live up the humbleness home away from home of a hostile. For one night her I could and would buy 11 nights at El Sunset Hostel.

Pretty nice

Liked: Didn't use it but, pretty cool there was a hot tub.I was able to shower, keep food, do laundry (paid machines) comfortably.
Disliked: I didn't pack a lock for my storage, but they were sold out of locks in the vending machine. The desk person didn't know they were even sold there the night before so they may have been available. She did her best with what she knew but the.whole situation was frustrating since I had to leave my sensitive stuff unsecured until I managed to get to a hardware store.

Cozy atmosphere with an ornate...

Liked: The kitchen, restrooms, showers, tea stations, sitting areas, and the back patio were all spotless and inviting. Conveniently located next to a bus stop and several restaurants while being a short trip south of Union Station.
Disliked: Some of the door knobs/door frames were in need of repair.
