Shady Spruce Hostel

Top choice in Montana


We're super-excited to see the resurgence of the hostel in the US, and this clean, bright and spacious new addition to the family nails it in all the right places. Although it's presence here is no longer news, they've maintained standards. Downtown is literally a block away from the converted house, but they have bikes for the walking-averse.

The hostel occasionally hosts art openings and movie nights.
