Good
Riverside is one of the better hostels. Stayed there last winter. The people who were staying there were nice and in a mood to party. Mostly skiers on holiday and they toned things down near bedtime. Keep in mind this is a hostel, not a hotel.

I fled in fear
My friend and I drove out to Silverthorne in mid-June on our trip to Denver. It seemed ok at first, although we smelled beer on the manager's breath and a few of the guests seemed very cozy settled in. The manager had us pick our own room in the dorm wing, but both seemed to be lived in. He told us that the one female in a dorm for females was a big partier and we might not like that room, so we chose the other room -- which looked more like a college dorm with tapestries, incense, and Christmas lights up. We picked up some food and ate in the kitchen (which did not even have dish soap!) as the guests, about a dozen or so, started drinking and playing loud music. It seemed these people all knew each other and had been there for a long time. One couple was there with a little toddler, who was running around unattended while his parents were partying with the others. I think there was drug use going on too. We just decided to go to sleep, but when my friend looked under the sheet, she found hair in it. Luckily we had not paid yet and there were other hotels in the town, so we decided just to leave. The whole atmosphere was like a flophouse. Everybody apparently knew one another and were coming in at night and drinking, partying in the common room, whatever else. So when we left, the manager followed us wanting money for the time we had spent eating (even though we didn't even use anything), so we ran to the car, threw our stuff in, and locked the doors! I was safe enough to roll down the windows and tell the manager that this was not a hostel -- I have stayed in many over the years! He took our license plate number and pretended to call the cops. Oddly enough, when we checked in at a much nicer place just up the street, the receptionist there said that every time he tried to call the hostel, no one ever answered, so he'd always assumed it was closed. We relayed our story and reported the situation to the police. The manager had never even reported us for leaving, but the officer I spoke with said it did sound like a safety situation and that she would be very unlikely to charge us for a crime over that. I have stayed in many hostels over the last five years and consider myself pretty lenient, but this place went extremely too far. I can't believe it's advertised on a hostel and can be found on any reputable listing. I highly recommend getting a hotel room in Silverthorne, or going to one of the other hostels in Denver or the region.

It was a little bit of heaven in Silverthorne -- the Riverside Lodge
Paul, Steve and Robert made our recent stay just the best. I felt comfortable enough to walk around with just my green wool stockings on. The conversations were insightful and whenever Janet and I needed additional information to find our way around Silverthorne, Dillion, or even Keystone, everyone just naturally spoke up with answers. It was the best and we will definitely be back for another visit.

Alpenhutte is a nice place. Good atmosphere. Nice mix of people from all over the world. Nice lounge with fire place to meet other travelers. And big kitchen with sufficient stuff. But most of all the location is brilliant. Within easy ride to A-basin, Keystone, Breckenridge. And for Beaver Creek and Vail you only need I-70 to get there. Anyway, good value for money.

Best location among hostel in the Summit County. On free bus route, opposite the Silverthorne Recreation Center, a few minute walk from the library and the Silverthorne Transfer Station, right beside a creek where you can do fly-fishing. The host, Eric and his staff were nice and helpful. Can't beat it for the price. The place is nice and reasonably clean. Among the best hostel I have ever stayed in. Good value for money.

I stayed at this hostel for a month this winter and was pretty happy with the set up. Everything you need is there and it's clean and bright and there are decent-size common rooms. Staff are good, and best of all it's truly less then five minutes from the shuttle bus stop to go to any of the Summit County resorts. Silverthorne is not exactly rocking, and the hostel doesn't have the buzz of city hostels, but again there is the bus to Breck or Frisco. Just be careful to be back before midnight or you might have a long cold night under the stars!

I stayed there last winter. Here my impressions: plus: + helpfull staff + clean + prize + discounted lift tickets + central location (summit stage busses, shops) minus: - curfew @night - kitchen closed @night - not very sociable (nearly empty) - cold rooms

I guess everything was okay, but the guy who ran the hostel was a jerk, trying to scam you out of every nickel and dime.

You can't beat it for the price. No, it's not a five-star hotel, but it's not priced like one either. The spa across the street is great!! The owners made a nice Thanksgiving dinner for all the guests.

BEWARE!!! This is perhaps the worst hostel experience I have ever had. The only redeeming quality of this moldy, smelly hostel is the large kitchen that is great for preparing food. Other than that, the owner, Eric, was creepy, moody, and ripped off one of the other customers, literally taking his money and refusing to refund the cash. He harassed guests for payment, when they'd already paid, and would only believe after shown proof of payment by a receipt IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING. The whole time there, he had to have been on either sedatives or alcohol. There was also a problem with bedbugs or some sort of insect that was in the beds, biting other guests. Do not dare to pay ahead, or you will not get your money back. If you have to stay here, pay one day at a time. Other hostels are in Summit County, and have bus service nearby to them. I would not recommend this place to anyone, even if they were on a budget.

The description listed on the Internet and through REQUEST FOR INFORMATION for this hostel is very misleading. The facility has not been kept up, and the pictures shown were taken many (several) years ago. Deception in advertising is the word of the day at this hostel.

This is a great place to meet new hippies, questioning wanderers, and snow bums. The rooms are fine. Eric is awesome. It is an excellent experience and a cheap place to stay.

The guy who runs the place is Eric Hagmeyer. BE WARNED in ADVANCE!!! This person will cheat you out of your money, anyway that he can! "Thief, habitual liar and scam artist" are just the kindest descriptions of him. The entire staff are as spooky as possible. Who knows what these people do with your belongings while you are out for the day? Stay here at your own risk!

The staff were horrible, and the place was a mess, but the bus was nice.

Common areas are roomy, bathrooms are clean except for the toilet areas. The staff's personalities are different, some are friendly and others very rude. The free bus service a plus.
