Hostel of the Rockies has moved locations and changed ownership within the last year or so. Don't be confused by various "new" guidebooks that list the hostel at the old address and include features that no longer exist. The Hostel of the Rockies is one of Denver's most upmarket hostels. What makes it attractive is the location -- it's in a fairly good part of town and is opposite a nice coffee shop and bar (which provides free wifi access). Plenty of parking is available on the street and you're not too far away from public transport.
Dorm rooms are very basic as are the kitchen and TV room. Wifi is not available but you can use the shared computer downstairs. Coffee and tea is available but it's on a do-it-yourself basis. Bathroom areas are straight-forward and you'll be sharing the one combined toilet/bath with more than ten beds if they are booked out.
The Hostel of the Rockies is not a bad hostel and is definitely not unclean or unsafe. It does its job and is located in a great part of town. If you can snare an upstairs room than do so, most have private balconies and seem to be fitted out better (plus they are much warmer). The social aspect of the hostel is great and you're sure to meet lots of international travelers. It's pretty easy to find in downtown Denver and there is ample free street parking. Just look for the street cleaning signs (normally it's the second Wednesday of each month) and make sure you don't park your car -- otherwise it'll get towed.
