Such an awesome place! My mom and I stayed in the private room. The main bed was very comfy and the room was cozy and well-appointed. A shared bathroom was just next door with toilet and shower. The overall house/hostel was warm and inviting. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout and everyone was so friendly. I would highly recommend staying here when visiting the area. The value can't be beat.

This was a random choice and unexpected delight. As an elder and physically challenged single female traveler I was happy to find myself at ease, safe, and comfortable. I did some research and spoke to them before booking. Reassured and followed thru.

I got nothin'....zip on the negative.

Wonderful staff, very helpful and friendly. The location is perfect for walking around Gunnison. Lovely front and back sitting places, exceptionally comfy common area with TV and big couches. Nice dining table, cooking facilities, big roomy refrigerator with ice on hand, areas to store your own food and cook for yourself with a dishwasher even. Excellent that the staff enforced the 10:00 silence, especially for the guitar player who was not as good as he thought. Plenty of towels, bathrooms very clean and enough facilities for all residents.

VERY minor inconvenience -- with two people in the bed the one by the wall couldn't get up without getting the other to move.

We had the small extra room for two people. It was indeed very small but exactly as described. The hosts were very kind and the atmosphere was very familiar. Unfortunetly we could only stay one night, but if we ever come back in this area, we will stay longer!

I was pleasantly surprised as I have not stayed in a place like this in many years. I needed a place to sleep for the night while traveling through and they were great. Easy to find, parking not a big issue, the beds were clean and comfortable, the staff was welcoming and informative. The fellow travelers were respectful.

Wanderlust is a great hostel. It's always clean and comfortable. The staff is welcoming and professional. I stay here while visiting my son and daughter in law in Gunnison and it has never failed to impress. It's a great value amongst the overpriced hotels/motels in the area. Wanderlust rocks!!

There is nothing to dislike.

The property was in an older house in a residential area. We had a large sized room with a queen bed, and it was delightful. Quiet and comfortable! We were able to bring our dog with us.

I liked private room. Hostel was close to the Outrider bus stop, and the Crested Butte bus stops. The staff were amazing. I was able to arrange a ride to Hartman Rocks, on short notice. Mickelle was able to pick me up at short notice. Very pleasant atmosphere. Nice kitchen. Thorough cleaning was completed daily.

My room was close to kitchen, but everyone was always quiet. Great value.
