Welcome to Solarium International Hostel
We believe a great stay is about more than just a bed. At Solarium International Hostel, we've created a space where travelers can unwind, connect, and feel genuinely at home. Our unique solarium areas blur the line between indoors and outdoors, offering a sun-filled retreat no matter the season.
Nestled in a mature Fort Collins neighborhood with lovely walking trails, we're a vigorous walk from Old Town and close to local amenities. Whether you're here for a night or a week, you'll find a warm welcome and a comfy place to land.
The Experience
Our hostel is designed as a destination in itself. Guests can relax indoors, outdoors, and everywhere in between — the solarium is the heart of the house, flooded with natural light and filled with plants. It's the perfect spot to read, chat, or simply soak up the Colorado sunshine.
"WOW! This is a destination, not just a room. What an amazing space, with so many options for relaxing; indoors, outdoors and in-between in the solarium!"
— Guest Review
Our friendly shared kitchen brings people together over morning coffee and complimentary waffles. Hostesses are on hand to make sure you feel welcome and comfortable throughout your stay.
The solarium concept at the heart of this hostel transforms the traditional common area into something far more inviting. These sun-drenched spaces, designed with large windows and thoughtful placement, capture natural light throughout the day, creating a warm indoor-outdoor flow that feels especially rewarding during cooler months. Guests gather here with books, laptops, or simply to chat, enjoying the brightness even when the weather keeps them inside. The effect is a social atmosphere that feels open and airy rather than confined, encouraging the kind of spontaneous connections that define memorable travel experiences. The design choices throughout the property—from the warm earthy tones to the comfortable seating—all reinforce this welcoming, light-filled philosophy.
Location plays a defining role in the character of this hostel. Situated in a quiet, established Fort Collins neighborhood lined with mature trees and walking paths, the property offers a peaceful retreat from the bustle of travel while keeping the energy of Old Town within easy reach. Guests can set out on foot to explore local cafés, shops, and cultural spots, or simply enjoy the residential charm of the surrounding area. This balance between tranquility and accessibility suits a wide range of travelers—from solo backpackers seeking a calm base to small groups wanting proximity to nightlife without sleeping in the middle of it. The neighborhood itself becomes part of the experience.
