I was there in June 2010 and I took this hostel because it's in downtown area, walking distance from everything. The owner was very kind & he put me in a room with one more person so I can rest (the person I was with said she was there for some months and she liked it). He gave me some... More

We are group of 6 friends backpacking in Alaska. We are not budget travelers, however we are used to use rather simple and ´value for moneý type of lodging and invest the saved $ into getting some more experiences during the trip. We spend here our first night after coming to Anchorage and before heading to the south-east. The room... More

After several nights in an unacceptable hostel in Anchorage, this place was a pleasant fantastic surprise. I had stayed there many years ago and it was OK. I gather that it had gone downhill after that but , let me tell you, now it is a very good hostel. Manager and staff were very professional, atmosphere was good and the... More

Hands down the worst hostel I've ever stayed at in my life, and I've been to enough to know. I don't even bother with hotels because normally I love hostels.

Since Anchorage is now in full tourist season mode and hotels are so expensive I decided to give this place a try. A new owner is in place and is making major changes to both the exterior amd interior. What has been revamped is very nice and I expect it just to get better with time. It is a bit... More

If you are looking for a clean, quite place to rest your head-this is it. Staying in downtown Anchorage was awesome, I was close to everything. The people running the show at the Hostel were as friendly and informative as it gets. My stay was a bit off their season. Which, I guess is why they were in full tilt... More

I have stayed at other hostels before and I have to say this one has been the worst! My friend and I stayed in a private room that was nothing special. A bed and a set of lockers plus a garbage can along with a few bedbugs. Yuck! The unisex bathrooms were constantly out of toilet paper, probably because everyone... More

I stayed here for one night and cancelled my 2 other nights that i was suppose to stay here. This place is super dirty and shady. The bathroom was a mess. I have never stayed in such a bad hostel all my life. I asked for a clean sheet and all they could offer was super yellowish filthy sheets. It... More
