The Avon

We had a nice relaxing night after riding the train all day. There is a full kitchen and fridge that is in a common area but all available for use. Has a rustic charm to it. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. It maintains it's historical status by not having an elevator to the third floor, but once I caught my breath, it was fine. I would stay again.

What a great place to stay in Silverton! Such a unique, old building with so much character. The private room was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. My favorite part was the record player. I listened to the vinyl for hours! Bathroom was clean, decorated nicely, and stocked with great amenities. Hotel is within walking distance to downtown. Check in, and out was super easy. Will definitely return!

I had a wonderful experience with the Avon. There was a problem with my room, and Pat reached out immediately to let me know and offered a refund. I still stayed there, and had a great experience. Pat and the residents at the hotel were nice. With the hostel-style rooming and lots of games/books around, it's easy to talk to others (but only if you'd like to!). I went in the fall, and there were lots of backpackers and people passing through. The location of the hotel is great, I was able to walk to everything I needed within the town. The hotel itself had a historic feel and was quite cozy. When I went, their kitchen and bar were closed, but they offered the areas for guests to use, which was a nice plus. It's obvious this hotel is run by two caring locals who do everything they can - I highly recommend this place!

This place was AMAZING!!! I stumbled upon it as a last minute search, and I could not have been more thrilled! Daniel was so nice helping me set up my reservation. The entire facility was so clean, and so well cared for. Eclectic, historic, and has such a cool vibe! The bed, pillows, linens were so so comfortable. And, everybody that I met there was so nice and friendly! I hung out with other residents during the evening, and it was the most surprising and delightful part of my trip. I will absolutely stay there again!

It was easy to check in, but difficult getting up 3 stair flights..very clean and retro, nice big room, big bathroom, great WiFi so I could work, affordable

Such a fun place to stay

This place is Amazing! It’s cozy, CLEAN, and just an all around chill vibe. We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to be back! We wanted to stay in Silverton Co. for our anniversary, the Avon seemed to be the best option so we booked it! Upon arrival we were met with great customer service and easy check in! We were so pleased with our room, decorated with antiques and very clean. This place is an amazing stop if you are going through silverton, it’s easy to appreciate this well maintained piece of history building.

Woah. This is a hybrid hostel, self-serve home, and community meeting center. We didn't have any expectations. We were floored. Easy checkin. Open kitchen. Free coffee bar. Plenty of common seating. Luxury bathrooms after the dirty days of hiking and 4-wheeling. And right in the center of town. Made our visit to the Silverton area even more memorable. Enjoy this place!

This is a historic hotel, but not maintained. The picture on the hotel. Com site is not like it appears now. It’s dark , dingy, in lobby. dirty carpet in room, no window treatments, window won’t close. Only met one staff at check-in, and desk was an old bar. Very disappointed and only stayed one of the two nights I payed for, and cost was overpriced for the accommodations, and lacked amenities.

Room is clean and property is unique. This is our second time staying here. Went with a room with shared bathroom this time. No concerns about shared bathroom as there are multiple bathrooms available. Love that everyone is on a different kind of adventure. Great option for the adventurous traveler. Dog friendly and plenty of parking options if bring your off-road vehicles.

Great hotel. Second time to stay there!

Pet friendly, nice staff, location.

We had a great stay at The Avon. The place was clean, and it was great to have full use of the kitchen facilities. The location was perfect, and all of the other guests were friendly. The only complaint is the lack of AC in the room. There are also not screens in the windows so opening that for airflow wasn’t an option. They do have bedside fans, however that didn’t cut it for us. Overall, this was a great stop.

The Avon is a fantastic hostel in Silverton with a fantastic atmosphere that really fits with the environment. I would definitely stay there on a return trip.

The only problem was a weirdo local (i.e., not a guest) who hung around the Avon in the lobby. When I sat down to watch the television, he asked me to leave because he doesn't "like to be around people." He was extremely rude and aggressive. He also was verbally abusive to a female guest who had to call the sheriff, but they were unable to do anything about it.

No employees at the hostel. I emailed and texted both owners with no response with regards to a squatter in the hostel who was bothering the female guests. I was scared for my safety and got the sheriff involved but because no owners could be contacted, they couldn’t do anything. I had to leave as I feared for my safety (only way sheriff could help was if he hurt me).

This is an historic property in the historic town of Silverton Colorado. We felt our stay was outstanding! Our room and bath were immaculate. The bedding was very comfortable. We especially appreciated the lobby and furnished bar area. While the hotel does not serve alcohol, guests are welcome to sit in the bar area and visit, watch TV and play games. A full commercial kitchen is also available for guests to use. The Avon is dog-friendly, and our pooch enjoyed meeting the other well-behaved pups. We had a great visit and appreciated the welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely return.

I want to like the Avon but not the best experience. My wife booked a room for me while I was bike packing the Colorado Trail. She was told I would receive instructions on how to check in - I never got a text or email. Walked in to the lobby and there were multiple people all standing behind the main bar - which looked like a reception desk. After being ignored I finally noticed a small picture frame with a phone number and overheard another guest on his phone trying to figure out how to check in. After hearing him I realized the key was in a box behind the counter. I also then realized no one was actually working there. I guess the bar and kitchen is free range for guest - but since I never received any communication from the Avon I had no idea. The room was also a disappointment. Described as the Fire Suite with a king and queen - we needed two beds so that's what she booked. The queen ended up being a mattress on the floor, up a steep ladder in a loft with about 4 feet of headroom. Its a cool building with tons of history in a good location. Just not so great service from the owners.

Would stay at the Avon again! It was nice meeting new people / through hikers!

Funky, historic mining town. Residents were friendly and helpful. Good food options in town.
