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.

Wonderful

Liked: The facilities are incredible! It is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. The dorm setup is ideal, and the kitchen and bathrooms are well-equipped. The outside area is such a nice space for everyone to come together after a day out.
Disliked: Unfortunately, my food was stolen from the fridge, even though it was in a bag and labeled (twice). I reported this and nothing was done.

totally fine for some days...

Liked: mostly nice staff, chill neighborhood, relatively clean showers and toilets
Disliked: AC did not work during my entire stay (and it was up to 38C outside), no one really seemed to care (advised staff 3 times) and a working AC is simply a minimal requirement, hallway and rooms smell bad (lack of ventilation and cleaning), also no AC in main chill area

This was the best stay...

Liked: Great vibe, great staff, and great travelers! Everyone I met was so kind and great to talk to. This was my favorite stay in a long time.
Disliked: Because it’s a lot of people sleeping in the room it can smell sweaty sometimes. I think more frequent spraying of air fresheners would help. But that’s literally the only con.

Nice place. Not carriage house...

Liked: What breakfast? Do not stay in carriage house. Otherwise great place.
Disliked: Don’t stay in carriage house, especially bed five. Night time pee. Walk across courtyard, with shoes

Will be back

Liked: The people you meet here are incredible! Shout out to Ryan, Natalie, Randy, David, Kristen, Hassan, BJ, and the others who I didn’t get their names. Everyone including the guests were all extremely nice. I made some lifelong friends during my stay here!
Disliked: One dryer was busted and seemed like a constant fight to use it. Clean your clothes a day or two early to be sure you get access.

Gem in Denver

Liked: Beautiful property, fantastic helpful staff, and good privacy for the individual bunks
Disliked: Not much close to the property in terms of restaurants and stores, but they are still walkable.
