RAD Hostel

I have never experienced such friendly staff! It felt like a mini congratulation party when I returned from a Pike's Peak winter summit attempt. Tom also checked in on me during the hike, which was nice. I'm much more open to trying hostels now since I quickly made friends with the staff and one of the other guests. It's such a cool experience!

I stayed at RAD Hostel for 4 nights, and as a seasoned traveler in the United States and abroad, I can honestly say this place is amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the location is perfect. I used RAD as my hub for exploring all the places I wanted to visit around Colorado Springs. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to hike as much as I had planned, which just gives me another reason to come back. I’ll definitely be staying at RAD again on my next trip. Thanks, J and T, for everything—see you guys next year, or maybe even sooner!

This was my initial hostel experience in the state of Colorado and it was an exceptional time. From the start to finish, I was treated with ultimate respect that made it feel like I was staying over at a friend's house. Thanks to recommendations from the volunteers/guests, I spent my days hiking and exploring around Colorado Springs. I also appreciated the access to all the amenities provided along with the social gatherings such as an evening bonfire while eating s'mores! 10 out of 10 rating for Rad Hostel!

Amazing place in beautifull Colorado Springs right near th mountains with greatest view! Amazing kitchen for cooking your meals which is better and more equiped than in any hostel that I have been and they are also cooking their own family dinners some days just like in South East Asia and it is really amazing experience. This is one of the best hostels in USA with true backpacker spirit!

I stayed at The Rad Hostel for the first time, 2 nights. The prices were so good, I was a bit uneasy about what I would find. What I found was a very CLEAN, comfortable place to stay. What was most remarkable was the very friendly staff and the "homey" atmosphere. There is not sufficient room to tell of their amenities, but suffice it to say that I've never never stayed at a place that was so much like coming home and being with family! They feed you, provide a place for you to chill out and relax with other folks that are staying there; all very kind and friendly people. I've never been to a place like it before, but it is #1 on my favorites list! I HIGHLY recommend this little gem of a hostel! They make toy feel most welcome! JKing

I’m so grateful I chose to stay at RAD Hostel for what was supposed to be just one night but turned into eight unforgettable days filled with amazing people, crazy stories, and lifelong memories. Every single person I met there was incredible, and the best part was listening to the stories of fellow travelers and volunteers from all over the world. Ask Tom about the boat he’s building, or let Jay blow your mind with his wild East Asia adventures. Sai taught me color grading and is an absolutely wonderful human being. Triston truly inspired me to slow down, be calmer, and find happiness in the present moment. Erin is a genuinely kind host and an inspiring leader who makes sure everything runs smoothly and everyone feels at home. I truly couldn’t have asked for better memories. Already missing RAD Hostel.

Clean room! Is in a main road (it does look a little sketchy) but it’s surprisingly quiet! I love that they have activities you either sign up for (and mostly are free) and a van picks you up and takes you or you can do the daily activities they have in their place. The staff are super friendly and helpful! I am very impressed by my stay. My kids loved the games in the patio and they have two lounge areas plus kitchen!
