What isn’t there to say about Ember? It was my first experience with a hostel and honestly, I’m amazed I haven’t done one sooner. On top of having a super clean, open spaced building central to downtown Denver and Broadway, the staff were amazing in every aspect. They make you feel welcome and at home the minute you walk in. And when they’re not at the desk, they are cleaning and making sure everything is perfect for both the guests already staying there and incoming guests. They’re very knowledgeable about the area and can give you suggestions about things going on (they knew about a free Griz concert going on 4 blocks away and some staff who were off brought other interested guests to it). Their back yard area is also perfect for meeting other guests. I don’t think I’ve ever had the opportunity to meet so many different people from different areas of the country at the same time while sharing drinks/smokes together. Overall, I don’t think there are enough good things I can say about this place and I hope that everyone considering a stay in Denver tries out this beautiful hostel.
