Great value stay in Leadville

I've stayed at the Inn & the Clouds over the years since 2009. I've stayed before going on back country hut ski trips around Leadville. The last few years I've been staying here as a cheaper alternative for when I ski multiple days at Vail or Breckenridge. Very affordable. Plenty of space for cooking/dinners. Very quiet on the weeknights I stay here. I WILL BE BACK this winter at some point. Staff is very nice (even when I forget items on accident there lol)

This hostel is as expected. It was cheap. But the rooms were spacious, the kitchen worked and there was a huge fridge. The shared bathrooms were never crowded. Parking was easy and close. Checkin easy too. I will stay there again.

The staff was so friendly and helpful! The hostel was really clean, had a big kitchen, nice dining area, living room, and a really nice front and backyard. The bed was comfy. The only downside was that the rooms are downstairs, and if you try to sleep until 9 am like I did, you can hear people walking upstairs and it's pretty loud even with ear plugs. But I'm a light sleeper-so maybe it wouldn't bother other people! Overall, it's a really nice hostel and I'd definitely stay here again. Thank you, Nico, Alex, and everyone at Inn the Clouds!

Great Hostel experience.

Staying at this hostel was a great experience. The owners and staff are so friendly as well as the guests. We stayed in the 2 bed 1 bathroom room. The beds were comfortable. The communal kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals. Bins are provided to store food, refrigerator was big and could accommodate food for many guests. Owner was kind enough to provide freezer space for our ice pack. Coin Washer/dryers are available. Large TV room with plenty of seating options, large dining table to accommodate everyone. Game room is downstairs. Quiet hours are 10pm to 7 am and enforced. I would stay here again.

The variety of different guest - Israel who wanted to hike in the local area, France who stopped for just one night, Germany who stopped for two nights, CDT who stopped for one night. Denver who stopped for three nights. Many different enjoyable people from many walks of life. The hosts were always available to help and listen and share when asked.
