No heater in the room. We visited it in the winter and it was pretty cold.

Pros: - Front-desk staffers were all courteous, helpful, and friendly. - Locations not bad, though I wish the northbound bus stop was closer. - Met folks from 4 countries, and that was all in the room I stayed -- fun. Cons: - Privacy: I've stayed in semi-private rooms in other hostels, but never with more semi- and less -private. I wasn't a big fan of my room-within-a-room, and wish I'd known about that first. (I know I startled people, too, who didn't realize!) - Bed was pretty poor.

The staff at the reception are very friendly. The hostel is nearby the bus stop. Generally speaking, it is convenient for the young guys.

It was cheap and clean. The atmosphere was fairly dead and non existent. Staff was friendly though. It's just a short drive to Red Rocks from the hostel.

Poor. is cheap but still overpriced. I slept 3 nights in the double room and it was really bad. I would compare the experience with some hostels experienced in central China. Very noisy, very small. The loundry didn't work for all the stay. The room is connected to the male dorm TOILETTE, so be ready to listen and smell the toilet activities. This is obviously out of any sanitary regulation.

I did e-mail the YH we would be arriving late around half past midnight and they replied there was no problem with that as there would be someone to open the door when we'd ring the bell. Coming from Gran Canyon we had a few issues with the car and road signs so we arrive at the YH around 1.10AM. We could not use my mobile (no network coverage) and no e-mail available. We kept ringing and waited for nothing. So, I feel rather disappointed and cannot recommend this place to anyone.

You can tell the hostels is run by travelers; they exactly what we want to know and have the information available. They don't make you pay for things that should be included, and they are great about organizing activities which are always fun. I would stay there again without a doubt.

The room is very cold in the night. After 11 o'clock I could only use wifi outside the living room, because the public area closed and I can't use wifi in the room.

Security - Kinda sucked. I didn't think the door was very secure. Also, there was a room inside my room & they utilized the same bathroom and entrance/exist - I didn't like that. Location - It's downtown and about a $15 cab ride to the strip. Staff - The guy was AMAZING. Super nice. He gave me jello shots. The chick who was there was not super sociable. Fun - Definitely fun - they seem to have a lot of activities. Cleanliness - Ick! My pillow had a blood stain. Enough said.

the staff was great and the rooms were very clean. the breakfast was only p&j with waffels, but it was free. for the price it was fine. the part of town was alittle ruff but only a mile or so from the bigger casinos.

There is no internet in the room. The staff was late in opening in the morning and we almost missed our bus because of him. The shower curtains were mouldy and gross. To get to our room (twin female) we had to go through a mixed room. All in all, not a very nice or comfortable hostel. Won't go here anymore.

Half way between downtown and the new strip, 25 mins walk to get into the heart of the strip

Friendly, they organise nights out and clean. A little way down from the main part of the strip but very easy to catch a bus.

Looks like a motel converted into a hostel. Good location half way between the main strip and the old part of town, clean and good facilities including lockers in the room. Great staff, always out to make sure you have a good time, would definitely stay here again.
