Published by

If you’re traveling through Yellowstone Country and want a stay that’s social, central, and budget-friendly, Treasure State Hostel in downtown Bozeman, Montana is a smart pick. With its front door opening onto Main Street, this hostel puts you within walking distance of restaurants, breweries, shops, museums, and Bozeman’s lively nightlife—while also giving you an easy launch point for day trips to Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky, and the broader Gallatin Valley.

Whether you’re road-tripping solo, meeting friends for a ski weekend, or building a flexible itinerary around the Greater Yellowstone region, Treasure State Hostel offers a practical home base without the price tag of traditional hotels.

Why Stay at Treasure State Hostel?

A Prime Downtown Bozeman Location

Treasure State Hostel is located in the heart of downtown Bozeman, just steps from local favorites and cultural attractions. If you like to explore a city on foot and keep your evenings easy (no parking hassle, no long drives back to a hotel), this is one of the most convenient places to stay in town.

Tip: If your trip includes breweries, live music, galleries, or casual dinner spots, staying downtown saves you time and makes your evenings effortless.

A Range of Room Types for Different Travel Styles

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all hostel. Treasure State Hostel offers dormitory-style beds along with private rooms and private room options for travelers who want a quieter stay while still enjoying hostel conveniences.

According to Bozeman’s visitor listings, rates often start around:

Dorm beds: roughly $28–$34/night

Private rooms: starting around $38/night

Two-bed/queen options: typically higher depending on season

Tip: If you’re traveling in a pair but want affordability, compare private room options before booking hotels—hostels can be a surprisingly good value.

Amenities That Make Travel Easier

Treasure State Hostel is frequently described as offering traveler-friendly basics that make a big difference, including free Wi-Fi, a shared lounge, and a shared kitchen.

Some booking listings also note free bikes, which can be a great way to explore downtown and nearby neighborhoods when conditions allow.

Tip: If you’re planning day trips (Yellowstone, Big Sky, Hyalite Canyon), staying somewhere with kitchen access can help reduce costs and make early mornings easier.

What Guests Like About It

The downtown location is especially helpful for travelers who want:

• Walkable access to food and coffee

• A place to stay after an evening out

• Easy navigation to highways heading toward outdoor recreation

Tip: If you’re arriving late or only staying one night, a central location can make a quick stopover feel like part of the trip—not just a place to sleep.

The Ideal Basecamp for Yellowstone Country

Bozeman is one of the best hub towns for exploring the region, and Treasure State Hostel is positioned to help you make the most of it. You can spend the day hiking, skiing, soaking, or sightseeing, then come back to a vibrant downtown scene without driving far for dinner or supplies.

Treasure State Hostel is also located about 11 miles from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, making it convenient for travelers flying into the area.

Tip: Pair your stay with day trips to nearby winter recreation or summer trailheads, then return to downtown for a relaxed evening and local dining.

If you’re building an itinerary around Yellowstone Country and want an affordable, practical place to stay that also keeps you in the center of Bozeman, Treasure State Hostel deserves a spot on your short list.
