Inn the Clouds and the town of Leadville are both incredible. The hostel has plenty of amenities for any type of traveler, and everyone (both staff and other visitors) were friendly and respectful of all rules. We will definitely be staying here again when we return to hike Mt. Massive and, eventually, the Colorado Trail. Thank you so much for a relaxing and inviting stay!

i hate to give this place a bad review because the hostel itself is very charming and the staff are sweet. I wish I could recommend it, but there is a serious black mold problem in the downstairs bathrooms and I can't in good conscience recommend anyone stay there. I reached out to the hostel and never heard back. If you're planning a trip there in the near future, I'd say avoid any long stays or at least google the health effects of black mold. Disgusting thing to cut costs on.

I had a private room with shared bathroom. Room was very small but enough. Only issue was the neighbour with psychological problems, so eventully they moved me to a different private room in the anex building. There are no bathrooms in that building, so I had to walk over to the main building to shower or use the kitchen, etc. Short walk, not terribly inconvenient. It is a hostel afterall. Kitchen and lounge and dining areas were of good size, well eq

Its a converted house. The showers area is a shared place. We had a room in the what I assume was a garage at some point. The whole place is clean. The host there was awesome. She gave us a tour so we knew where everything was. The only thing I have to complain about is people dunno how to park but that's beyond the control of the establishment. It's a lil ways from the main strip so wouldn't recommend walkin to the strip from here unless u are into that I reckon lol.

We'd never stayed at a hostel before, and we absolutely fell in love with Inn the Clouds! We were two adults travelling with two kids, ages 9 and 14. Our private bedroom with two beds was cute and spacious. The staff was amazing! The hostel had a lot of things to do, including ping pong and it was set up for socializing or working or whatever you needed. The kitchen was big and had all the dishes we needed. The Inn was walkable and everyone staying there was super friendly. It's so chill. It's also incredibly quiet at night, which was a huge bonus. It's a very relaxing place to stay super close to downtown Leadville with plenty of places to eat. The views are nice, too! We brought all our own food, so we didn't dine out. The Inn was so nice that we didn't want to leave. We highly recommend it!

I loved that it was quiet, especially on a Saturday night. The room was basic, clean, and a heater and fan were supplied. The price was high, maybe because it was Saturday night and there weren't many other options for a single affordable room in town. Other people staying there were respectful and again, quiet. The shared bathroom was not an issue.

The Inn is a fantastic place to synergize and energize with other people from all parts of the world. Access to trails and outdoor activities are world class and the accommodations are just the right mix of convenience and comfort. The new owners have a keen sense of how to keep things moving at a great pace without urgency and patience for all types of situations.

Fire hazard...

Some sketchy fire hazards about and bunk bed that was rigged together made our stay entertaining I guess. Maybe I'm too old for hostels. There was an electrical extension cord that was taped to the on position. It kept trying to trip and turn off and couldn't because it was taped to on. Luckily we're not idiots and know that's a serious fire hazard and unplugged it. Bunk bed in our room sounded like it would collapse and upon further inspection we learned it was repaired poorly and actually would collapse soon probably.

Great value stay in Leadville

I've stayed at the Inn & the Clouds over the years since 2009. I've stayed before going on back country hut ski trips around Leadville. The last few years I've been staying here as a cheaper alternative for when I ski multiple days at Vail or Breckenridge.

Very affordable. Plenty of space for cooking/dinners. Very quiet on the weeknights I stay here. I WILL BE BACK this winter at some point. Staff is very nice (even when I forget items on accident there lol)

This hostel is as expected. It was cheap. But the rooms were spacious, the kitchen worked and there was a huge fridge. The shared bathrooms were never crowded. Parking was easy and close. Checkin easy too. I will stay there again.

Awesome Hostel Near The Mountains

Very nice hostel, I even made some friends and skied with them the next day. The hosts were amazing, it was Thanksgiving and they had made a big Thanksgiving meal and everyone who was staying there that night got to eat some.

The staff was so friendly and helpful! The hostel was really clean, had a big kitchen, nice dining area, living room, and a really nice front and backyard. The bed was comfy.

The only downside was that the rooms are downstairs, and if you try to sleep until 9 am like I did, you can hear people walking upstairs and it's pretty loud even with ear plugs. But I'm a light sleeper-so maybe it wouldn't bother other people!

Overall, it's a really nice hostel and I'd definitely stay here again. Thank you, Nico, Alex, and everyone at Inn the Clouds!

Great Hostel experience.

Staying at this hostel was a great experience. The owners and staff are so friendly as well as the guests. We stayed in the 2 bed 1 bathroom room. The beds were comfortable. The communal kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals. Bins are provided to store food, refrigerator was big and could accommodate food for many guests. Owner was kind enough to provide freezer space for our ice pack. Coin Washer/dryers are available. Large TV room with plenty of seating options, large dining table to accommodate everyone. Game room is downstairs. Quiet hours are 10pm to 7 am and enforced. I would stay here again.

The variety of different guest - Israel who wanted to hike in the local area, France who stopped for just one night, Germany who stopped for two nights, CDT who stopped for one night. Denver who stopped for three nights. Many different enjoyable people from many walks of life. The hosts were always available to help and listen and share when asked.

This is a great place for those who like hostel life. It has a large kitchen with an orderly system for storage and cooking, clean rooms, and extra-clean toilet and shower facilities. The employees and the guests were very friendly and helpful. Hostels like this might actually help heal the country! There should be more hostels like Inn the Clouds!

Perfect home-base for exploring Leadville. Visited with my boyfriend and had a private room which was clean, though the bed was a tad hard. Bathrooms were super clean. Fun to have ping pong table and seems like there were cool people to connect with if we had more time to do so!

I’d be wanting to stay here and had an opportunity last night. It was exactly what I needed for a short night of sleep. It could be a little cleaner, and it’s clearly seen many many travelers. It’s a friendly place and even my introverted self was drawn into a couple conversations that never would have happened at an ordinary hotel. A cool place to walk out from either away from town towards mountains or down into town for a steak and athlete viewing.

Inn the Clouds Hostel was exactly what I hoped it would be -- a quiet, convenient, community-building opportunity as I build knowledge of and prepare to run the Leadville Trail 100 Run. Most people staying were either preparing for the run, to crew or pace runners, to hike 14,000' mountains every day, or resting and resupplying as they continued on their through hikes of the Colorado Trail. So most people were either already tired or trying to bank sleep. Guests were very considerate regarding noise and light, and my co-ed bunk room was just perfect. There are other arrangements possible, too -- a smaller bunk room could be rented by an entire group, for instance, or there are private rooms in the main house or out back. Everyone was very considerate in following the rules regarding kitchen use, pets, etc. bedding and a bath towel is included -- if you want a hand towel or washcloth, bring your own! I have already booked my next stay at Inn the Clouds!

Short family vacation

Very clean, friendly owners, comfortable, very well organized for use of communal areas. We had the private family room with private bathroom (bathroom is small but doable). All the beds were comfortable and clean. Owners were very responsive to any questions (even before our arrival) and once there, they gave us a tour and explained how the communal areas worked in this hostel. Expectations of rules and use of areas is very clearly provided throughout the hostel and there were plenty of kitchen supplies, storage for personal items, etc. Our private room was roomy and easily accommodated our family of 8 (3 adults/5 kids). We enjoyed our 1 night stay as a family and would definitely return if in the area again. Area scenery is beautiful!

My overall rating is an average of very disparate ratings on different aspects of the facility. The kitchen rates a 5.0. Has a lot of space for refrigerated and non-refrigerated food. Great gas stove and everything you need to make whatever you want. The men's shower and bathroom rates a 1.0. Small space and no privacy at all. Shared room rates a 3.0. Upper bunks have no privacy but at least they do provide each person with a good sized storage cabinet that can be locked. Dining and other common areas are nice. Limited parking spaces. I didn't want to leave in the evening and come back with no place to park

Stay at the Inn was exactly what I was looking for. Clean, affordable and super friendly staff. Booked a private room with two beds which also had its own fridge. The kitchen in the main building had plenty of cold/dry storage. Coffee and tea were available. Two spacious common areas and a large dinning area. Kent is amazing and super knowledgeable regarding the area and mountains. He happily answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend Inn the Clouds and stay here again.
