Park City Hostel

I’m almost reluctant to write this because I like the place so much and don’t want it booked out when I want to come back. Still, it deserves an honest review. It’s affordable, has a good vibe and location, and suits adventurers looking for a welcoming place to stay together. It’s clean, has free breakfast, a kitchen for cooking, and somewhere to store food.

I’ve stayed here many times, in both shared and private rooms. It’s a great community spot with hot water, coffee and tea, a pool table, board games, puzzles, and secure gear storage. There’s almost always someone around who’s up for dinner, and Nick and Morrison are great hosts. When anything came up, they dealt with it and fixed it almost right away. Park City Hostel makes a great base for adventures in Park City. You can ski or ride solo, with a buddy, or in a group, and you’ll meet friends here who can last a lifetime. The free bus system is classy and easy to use, with nonstop access to PC Village, Main Street, or Deer Valley, and an easy additional bus to Canyons. Follow the reasonable rules and you’ll have a blast.

I came back because my stay here last year was great. The private rooms are nice, it’s good value, and the location is excellent for skiing, with easy bus access to Deer Valley and other resorts. Some staff were friendly and helpful. This visit fell short of last year because the shared spaces weren’t clean. Dishes sat in the kitchen sink for a long time, food smells hung around downstairs, and the common areas were often dirty. The bathrooms on my floor seemed to go days without paper towels or regular cleaning, and hair stayed visible in the showers the whole time. I brought it up with staff. Some responded, but two people I spoke with, wearing Deer Valley uniforms, kept ignoring requests to refill the paper towels and handle basic cleaning. That was frustrating. Clearer guest rules at check-in and a more visible, regular cleaning schedule for the shared areas and bathrooms would help a lot. It’s still a budget-friendly option in a great spot, but shared-space standards seem to have slipped since last year, and that affected my stay.

Morrie, Best, Nick, Jack, Ky, and all the other staff are so lovely. The whole team is kind and welcoming, and I always have an amazing time here. The rooms are nice and clean, the common area is kept up so well, and it’s easy to make friends. Thanks for the great hospitality every time. The most incredible hostel ever, can’t recommend it enough.
