The room was smelly as we entered it and there was no one to answer the call to transfer us to a different room or help in any kind. Even Expedia support tried calling but there was no response. I put in messages on chat and there has been no response. It has been 5 days since I messaged. I have requested for refund and there has been no response. Please do not book this hostel. Colorado Springs has better says at similar rates.

As usual, I had an amazing time here! I had so many wonderful conversations with different travelers. The group trip to Bishop’s Castle was even better than I had anticipated! I’ve been there before, but the people on this trip made it even more enjoyable. Plus, the castle had new additions since my last visit! I want to give a special shoutout to Flor and Thiago for cooking an incredible dinner with steak, bread, and yucca potato. Sai kept the bonfire going and had some thought-provoking conversations. Many more I could mention I just don’t remember everyone’s names ! Thanks for making my trip unforgettable, Rad Hostel! Can’t wait to come back again

I came in at the last minute and really appreciate how everyone was friendly. Still, overall, The Person I appreciate the most would be Ms.Flor🌷🌸🌹❤️. On her off days, she lets me tag along with her To Visit the fountains in Manitou. We also ended up doing the Pull Pit mountain Trail and The Pikes Peak Train Ride, which I would highly recommend trying out. Overall Great time and highly recommend the stay 🙏🤌
