Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I loved the vibe, atmosphere and the gym that was included. I also appreciated the free drip coffee in the morning. Overall, great environment, safe for a solo female traveler and nice amenities. The towel and comforter were top notch for a hostel. Friendly staff.

    The breakfast was included and SO GOOD! Especially the waffles! The beds were so cozy and they had good things to watch on the TVs. The rooms were clean and smelled great and the bathroom was roomy and everything looked wheelchair accessible (I didn't bring mine on this trip but next time I visit I'll bring it and stay here again!) they moved me to a first floor room because I cannot safely climb the stairs and they were so accommodating. The room service was awesome and it was a very modern and well decorated hotel. I loved my stay!

    Very clean, well organised and huge hotel / hostel. Exceeded my expectations. The location is okay, SLC's Downtown is not far on foot and the public transport works well. I'd stay at Bposhtels SLC again, definitely.

    We stayed one night before heading to park city. The price was low so we had low expectations but honestly it was lovely. Great location and excellent hot breakfast. They also held our ski bags in a locked room for us well past checkout time so we could explore. Very nice place, would definitely stay again.
