The location and cost was great!
There was no air in the room I stayed in so it was kind of hot. Loved my roommate and that atmosphere though!

The cleanliness of the room. The RAD Hostel has a very cool ambiance.The murals fit right in with the atmosphere of the RAD.
There is nothing to dislike.

The room was very clean and had everything we needed -- comfortable beds, air conditioner wall unit and fan, private bathroom, shampoo/conditioner/soap in shower dispenser, large desk and settee, small fridge with freezer, microwave. The staff were very friendly and showed us around the kitchen/eating area, plus the 24-hour lounge. Those two shared spaces and our room were accessed with key codes. The hostel is on a busy street and we were in the unit closest to it, but we hardly heard any street noise with our air conditioning unit and fan on. The only thing one of us didn't love was the firmness of the pillows, but that is personal preference. We left early so didn't utilize the included breakfast. We would definitely stay here again.
There was nothing we didn't like.

The staff. Very welcoming, respectful & fun. They made my 2 children, ages 10 & 13 feel extremely comfortable & safe. I truly appreciated their genuine character and manners throughout our stay. I also enjoyed their company. We sat out back telling stories one night and it felt like family. It truly did. The staff is so responsible when it comes to duties, and really every other aspect of the business and welcoming in new travelers. I can't say anything bad. The value is unbeatable. Our room was spacious and clean. The entire grounds has so much to offer for kids and adults alike. I would stay there again in a heartbeat and I wish nothing but the best to each and every one of the staff members. RAD Hostel is special.
The only thing I didn't give an excellent or 5 star rating is location. It's not that it's in a bad neighborhood...not sure there is one in Springs...but it's right on Nevada Ave which is a pretty busy street. The property sits far enough off that you're not in a dangerous area but traffic can be fast and solid. There is liquor store right next door as well as some pot dispensaries which is obviously a common scene in Colorado. Just be aware if you're traveling with kids and your boat doesn't float that way ;) I had no problem with it personally.

The room was a bit cozy but definitely spotless and comfortable. Lounge room available 24/7. Staff super helpful, social, and friendly. In addition to the light breakfast available every day (with different types of milk!), they offer three different freshly cooked pancakes for breakfast during the weekend and a variety of social events in the evening. Can you ask for more?
