Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Good I like this hostel. I stayed in the winter time and it is close to all of Jackson's fun stuff to do. It is a short (fifteen minutes or less) drive to Jackson Hole resort. Each person gets their own individual stall with a makeshift closet that can be padlocked. There is electricity for your laptop and you get your own bed (not a bunk bed). So it is kinda like your own personal cubby hole. The kitchen could use some work but was usable, fridge, TV, cat, and more. The people I met there all went out to see blue grass and have a few beers. And then we all went ski/boarding the next day. But yeah it was pretty much all dudes, and no they do not allow drinking (but you could if you wanted to be discreet). — Stephen , USA (2009-12-04) Horrible Spent two weeks in J Hole in the winter. First week was spent here. We got no sleep because of the squeaky beds and floors and spent more money than we wanted ($35/night!). Not worth it. — pat , usa (2009-11-06) Good Deal I found the place to be decent for the price which was $25 as of July 2009. They changed the code so not just anyone could come in-and-out and everyone was decently quiet at night and left lights off until at-least mid morning. It not that fancy, however for cheap price what can you expect. They gave me some clean sheets and towels and didn't charge me for them. I plan on using the place again during the winter for some skiing! — Daniel , USA (2009-08-04) It is like being in a nineteenth century factory! I spent two nights in Jackson Hole Hostel a couple of years ago and I must say it is one of the most expensive hostels I stayed in over a trip of nine weeks through nine of the western states. And it is the least friendly of all and not comfortable at all. But one real asset -- it is close to magnificent Grand Teton National Park. — Marie-Françoise Orne-Gliemann , France (2009-03-24) Don't expect much staying at this place, it's not at all comfortable or welcoming. From the moment you check in they tell you ALL their rules, no smoking, drinking or disturbances; so much for Western hospitality! As far as previous comments about the bunk beds being rickety I can personally attest that's completely true, it looks like the owner decided to save some money and make them himself. Not only that, but there's no carpeting on floor, which only adds to the cold and sterile atmosphere.
Another problem, there are a lot of people coming and going at all hours of the night. I especially felt uncomfortable having the back door open at night. It looked like anyone could slip in and out without detection. Oh, did I mention, this hostel is just one big room, no separation between the sexes? I felt like I was in an Army barracks instead of a hostel. Plus, the common room, which is adjacent to the dorm room, is usually filled with people watching television until late at night.
Another negative was they have their lights on a timer. They shut off automatically at night and turn on early in the morning. They just don't want you to get a good night's sleep at this place. What really bugged me most about this place was I had not one, but two pairs of sunglasses disappear on me. As was expected, no one saw them. Yeah, right!
I only stayed two nights at this place, which was really two nights too long. If I had to do it all over again I would've slept in my car. It would've been cheaper and I would've felt more safe and secure. In the future, I'd skip this place and go directly to the hostel in W. Yellowstone. — M (2005-10-01) Having stayed in many hostels in North America, I found this was one of the nicest and friendliest. Plus...HOT TUB. — Doug (2005-02-07) If you're just looking for a place to crash for the night, this is the cheapest place in town. With rickety bunk beds, rude warning signs about no drinking allowed, and wrecked furniture in the common room with a TV with no reception, they don't pretend it's an enjoyable place to stay and you shouldn't expect it to be one. The only redeeming features are that each bed comes with a locker for your stuff and that the shower and bathroom are kept pretty clean. — Tony Y (2004-09-03) Poorly made and badly painted bunk beds. The dorm was large, with 27 beds (mostly bunks), and males and females on different sides. They had clean showers and restrooms, and a large open tv room with cable and a nice large tv mounted to the wall. There were one washer and one dryer. They had a kitchen with refrigerator, microwave and one electric burner on the counter. The cost of $25.00 (tax included) is a great deal in that expensive town. I thought it was ok. The good thing is its location. It is on the main street and walking distance from downtown with all the art galleries and museums, etc. — Russell B (2004-08-30) The place has the ambiance of a county jail -- poorly-made bunk beds painted a dreary color, a moldy smell, a very awful, messy kitchen, and totally wrecked furniture in the TV room. There were rude, hand-written signs all over. Sure, it's a bargain in this super pricey place, but if they had tried even just a little to make it less dirty and dreary we might have actually had fun. It sold out on a Saturday night in July. — d_odomok (2004-08-05) The place is huge! It takes up the basement below the Anvil Hotel. The downside is that it seems like a military dorm with all the people sometimes; not very cozy, and relatively expensive. Also, if you have a Wyoming driver's license they won't let you stay (as of '02) The upside is that it's the damn cheapest place to stay in Jackson in the winter by far! And the skiing speaks for itself. It's almost deserted in the summer, but camping in the area is better then. — Richard M (2004-06-05)
