I stayed in the maps (female only) room, and had a great time overall! Staff was super friendly, and the place was clean. Not a bad deal with the six dollar beer and shot combo! Lots to do right around the corner on Larimer, and Union Station is barely over half a mile away.

The property is really cute and clean and I enjoyed having my own private room with a bathroom and lots of light. This is unique for a hostel! The Beer Barn that is located behind the establishment and under my window was super loud until early in the mornings when it finally closed—on weekdays no less. I discovered earplugs in the lobby and that helped a lot.

Kory

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pros: The staff, both front desk, and in the bar, were very pleasant and helpful. The building is older, but in good condition. My four person mixed dorm room was clean and tidy, comfortable bunk. The bathroom was very clean. Cons: No sheet on bed, just a comforter, which was just a bit creepy. Real downside was that it was ridiculously loud in the evening (on a Tuesday), even after midnight, loudest hostel I've ever stayed at. A decent value in a good location in Denver. I might stay again if in a pinch.

The Hostel itself is fairly quiet. I was a little worried when I checked in and there was a busy bar, but once you get upstairs to the rooms it’s very quiet. It’s pretty clean for what it is and everyone in the maps room was quiet and respectful. The bunks do get quite warm so maybe bring an eye mask and some ear plugs to help and then you can keep the curtain open for more air.

For me Hostel Fish was perfect because of the price as all i needed was a place to sleep/rest and shower as i wandered the city through out the day and night. Now it could get a loud on the weekends so bring ear plugs if your not there to party. Maybe things they could improve on is a curtain that covers the entire bed so have a little privacy while you sleep. 1 out of 2 showers in the men’s bathroom was working properly. The other shower just had weak water pressure. if you’re a solo girl traveler just be careful mindful of your surroundings when walking outside there are homeless around.
