The Bivvi Hostel in Review
Quite simply; we love The Bivvi Hostel.
And we have no doubt in our mind that you will, too! So without further ado, let us show you why.
The Bivvi Hostel is a 5 star hostel in Breckenridge, Colorado because…
1. Bringing travellers together
In case you missed it first time round, The Bivvi Hostel is home to just 10 bedrooms.
It’s a perfect balance of shared dorms and private options which means there is a nice selection of traveller types in the hostel.
No doubt because of the smaller size, it seems to bring people together easier.
And that’s also thanks to the fantastic amenities – hot tub, log fire, cosy living room, huge dining table – that no-one can resist!
The team has done so well to create an atmosphere that brings people out of their rooms. Everything screams inclusive.
Having said that, we wouldn’t blame you if you decide on the hot tub suite for yourself…!
2. Mountain Lodge Design that’s seriously Homely
You only have to look at the photos to get a real idea of what to expect when it comes to design at The Bivvi Hostel.
No doubt you’re wondering: “can I afford to stay here?!”
Absolutely! Do not let the high standards and luxurious amenities fool you.
Sure, booking a hostel in the USA is more expensive than other countries, but these guys have brought the luxury of a hotel and price tag of a hostel successfully together.
Big windows allow for natural light to flood in and mountain views to fill your periphery.
Wood cabin roofs, warm-coloured furniture and a roaring log fire all add that cosy, homely vibe that will keep you warm.
And the rooms?
Well they have been designed with serious comfort in mind!
Check out the sturdy wooden frames on the bunkbeds. The dorm known as ‘the sixer’ has two 3-bed stacks which is pretty cool.
Psst! Couples looking to splash out should seriously consider the hot tub suite. I’m sure you can guess what’s included.
3. Clear Concept
The idea behind The Bivvi Hostel is pretty clear: to provide a luxurious accommodation in the midst of so many awesome outdoor activities.
People travel to the Rocky Mountains for one reason and one reason only. And the team here honour that proudly.
That’s why they team up with surrounding businesses that offer:
- Skiing and snowboarding
- Rock climbing
- Kayaking
- Biking
- Sailing
The list goes on… and on! And the team really know their stuff, so go to them first.
Bonus: If you book through the Bivvi you will receive a 10% discount on selected sports.
To support your daily outings, the hostel has a purpose-built gear room to store your stuff.
Skis, boots, bikes – everything is welcome in here. There’s even a boot dryer, cubbies for helmets and gloves, and that all important air freshener!
Oh and during the winter, there is a free bus that takes you to the slopes. Score.
4. Let the Fun follow you Inside and Out
So we’ve already covered the many activities that are possible during your stay here.
What about how to spend your time inside the hostel?
Well for starters, you can make sure to fill up on a seriously yummy FREE breakfast each morning. It’s not your average breakfast.
We’re talking scrambled eggs, hash browns, pancakes, fresh fruit and, of course, organic coffee!
After a day in the mountains you’ll certainly enjoy the gorgeous chill out lounge. The 50’ LED TV is perfect for streaming your favourite movie.
Then in the evening head to the bar. Happy Hour is for 4-5pm every day. Until 10pm you can enjoy as many micro brews, wine and cider as you fancy.
As the darkness creeps in, race to the outdoor hot tub! Now you have no excuse no matter the weather.
5. Staff that Love and know the area
Because that’s important, right?
Let us reassure you that you’ll be welcomed with a smile from the friendly staff. That’s because they love their job.
They’re also super knowledgeable about the area and what things you can do.
Once again: make sure you have a chat with them about the activities you’d like to do. They can hook you up with the best company’s and the best prices.
Expect a laid-back bunch – this suits the overall atmosphere perfectly.
