Dreamcatcher Hostel

Golden

This hostel is situated in the heart of Golden city centre, 30 minutes’ drive from Yoho National Park and 57 km from Glacier National Park. Storage for bikes and skis is available. Free WiFi is available throughout the hostel and a guest computer is provided. We loved the cozy atmosphere, the fireplace, the great community and boardgames! Also the duvets deserve a special mention, super comfortable. It was very clean and the kitchen well equipped, lively and still nicely organized - and we very much loved the free tea and coffee :) Walking distance to bars and shops in Golden and close to the highway. Great facilities also for skiers. We would have loved to stay longer and very much understand that some people keep extending their stay.

The kindness of the staff, the interior design of the hostel and the cleanness. Moreover I love the fact that the staff requires the personal food to be put on a basket with an easy-to-apply label where name, room and check-out date shall be written on. The care of the little details is definitely there.
