I stayed in the simple lodge along with some friends for 5 nights. We stayed in both the family room and the private suite. Both were great, especially the suite. Everything was clean, the water was hot, and the rooms were cheap. Also, Jon was a great host advising us on places to see and eat while we were in... More

I have stayed here several times since 2008 and I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Jon and Julia are wonderful hosts. The place is always clean and you can't beat the location. On my first visit Jon gave me a lot of advice on places to eat and grab a beer. I have met a lot of interesting people who were... More

Stayed in a private room with my gal and it was perfect. Safe, comfy, reasonably priced. The owners were nice and recommended some sweet local spots to check out. i.e. elevation brewery and moonlight pizza. Everyone was chill and I would recommend anyone to stay here. It looked like they were adding on and had some chickens in the back.

Have been to Salida many times and have stayed at the Simple 3x now. And we will again, and again. First, you can't beat the price and the location. Park here and walk to almost anywhere in town. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The place is clean and feels very safe. Don't be put off by the 'Hostel'... More

The hostel was clean, the owners were friendly and helpful, it was very well located in the town, and it had a comfortable common area. Oh yeah, FREE... More

Great little place in the heart of town. Walking distance to the river, restaurants and attractions. Lost of mountain biking right out the door. Simple, clean, cozy and friendly.

I just got back from taking an international college student group to Salida and we stayed at this wonderful hostel and lodge! It is hands down the nicest, cleanest and most friendly hostel I have ever stayed at. This was also communicated to me from our students who are used to staying in hostels all around the world. The owner... More

Our family visited this hostel during our Christmas vacation and loved everything about it! Mallory, who greeted us when we arrived, was able to answer all of our questions. Jon and Julia, the owners, were also very friendly! The location is perfect because you can walk to restaurants, bars, quaint shops, and a locally owned movie theater. The mountain scenery... More

If a cheap place to stay is the only thing you are worried about, then this is the place for you. Other than that the clientele is weird, the managers are never there, the beds are uncomfortable, and the room that I stayed in was almost unbearably cold, even with the provided small space heater on all night. The whole... More
