Wanderlust is always a great place to stay. It's comfortable, clean and welcoming. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I was able to work remotely from the living room while there on Monday. Thanks for being such a great landing spot!!

Kimberlee United States of America

A pleasant place with helpful staff, and use of all kitchen facilities. Can visit with other guests if you wish. Easy parking. A nice break from the usual motel/hotel accommodations. Both dorm and small private rooms.

Thomas United States of America

Wanderlust is a great hostel. It's always clean and comfortable. The staff is welcoming and professional. I stay here while visiting my son and daughter in law in Gunnison and it has never failed to impress. It's a great value amongst the overpriced hotels/motels in the area. Wanderlust rocks!!
