Housed within a locally iconic Victorian lodging facility from 1887, Shady Spruce still stands as a uniquely appointed resting-place. We aim to promote & preserve hosteling culture while conveying a safe, efficient, and comfortable neighborly vibe on the brink of both Missoula’s thriving Central Business District and magnetic backcountry trailheads. An ideal location puts guests just 1 block from the heart of downtown Missoula, so within easy walking distance to our community’s university, art galleries, gift & gear shops, varied restaurants, tasting rooms and craft breweries.

Shady Spruce offers guests a variety of sleep options; 3 private rooms and 2 dorms – one coed and another for females. The hostel is packed with amenities: free Wifi, no curfew, 24 hour secure keyless code entry, 24 hour outdoor security surveillance, cruiser bikes, an outfitted bike maintenance shop, secure lockers, 4.5 bathrooms, 2 communal lounges, and 2.5 fully equipped kitchens.

A stay with us means enjoying a wide range of amenities while enjoying the opportunity to conserve cash and energy, plan activities, stay connected, or simply relax.
