#1 Hostel in Colorado Springs on Tripadvisor

Escape into Nature

RAD Hostel is where adventure awaits, friendships take root, and travelers from near and far find a home away from home. Stay with us, and your Colorado hostel experience will be one that you’ll remember forever.

You’ll find us in Colorado Springs, where you can escape into nature during the day and explore the city’s diverse cultural events, breweries, and restaurant scene at night.

The True Spirit of Hostel Life

From lively game nights and storytelling around the campfire to planning outdoor excursions over weekend pancakes, creating community is at the heart of what we do.

We take pride in being open-minded and inclusive in the true spirit of hostel life. Whatever your background and wherever you’re from, you are welcome here.

Since opening in 2018, guests from over 80 countries have come through our doors. When you’re sharing a meal in the communal kitchen or relaxing on the shaded patio, you’re just as likely to hear Arabic, Spanish, or Italian as English – here at RAD, respect is our common language, and curiosity is our common trait.

There’s nowhere like RAD Hostel, with its colorful murals, various hostel rooms, welcoming staff, camaraderie amongst guests, and natural beauty in all directions.

It’s adventurous; it’s one-of-a-kind; it’s RAD.
