Very good.
I have stayed at a number of hostels over the past years, but I consider the Durango Hometown Hostel to be the best in my experience. It has a new, clean, and fresh feel about it, with many special touches. Candace Lemon, the Proprietor, while professional, is friendly, pleasant, and personable. Because Durango is her hometown, she knows the area firsthand and can share valuable information with those who are quests at her "hometown" hostel. I do not hesitate to recommend it -- a lovely place to stay in a lovely setting!

Fantastic!
Very welcoming atmosphere, Candace makes coffee for guests every morning. Kitchen well stocked with all dishes/cookware/utensils and entire place extremely clean and organized. I stayed in the female dorm and the bed was very comfortable, nice to have the locker. Enjoyed meals on the rear deck, helpful to have the computers (three) for those of us without laptops. Wonderful to leave my car there and walk to downtown Durango, also rode the "T" another day, very easy.

Best hostel ever
We were fortunate enough to be literally the first guests at this hostel -- we arrived in Durango on the day the hostel opened! Candace and Faith are really nice, the facilities are immaculate and new, and everything is laid out very intelligently. Comfortable beds, great water pressure in the shower, fantastic kitchen (with cookies in the freezer at the time we were there), lovely patio out back. We were sad to leave, and we'll be back for sure. We recommend this place to anyone!

Wonderful! One of the best environments I have ever stayed in.
When most people think of hostels, they think, like myself, of bare bones sleeping accommodations. Staying at this facility is almost luxurious in comparison with other hostels. I came "home" to the smell of fresh cooked meals on more than one evening, and I was able to use the kitchen, which is fully stocked with utensils, pots, pans, myself. Anyone planning a short stay in Durango owes it to themselves to at least stay here one night -- make it your first and it probably wont be your last. All in all it is a clean, comfortable, quiet, and welcoming environment in which to lay your head.

Very nice and cosy!
What a very nice and cosy hostel! The have even a tall bed for me, I'm six-foot-eight! That is what I never have seen on all my world trips before! And I have seen a lot of hostels! The rest of the hostel is so nice that I feel immediately feel home! It is so clean and have a such warm, cosy feeling. I also have never had that before! Candace is also very hospitality and she knows a lot over the surrounding. If I every come to Durango again I certainly go to this great place!
