AWESOME falls short of describing this backpacking haven. The workers really went out of their way to make sure my time in ALASKA overall (not just in the hostel) was as every bit as unbelievable as i dreamed! To keep it simple, the place ROCKS! It's got a killer LOCATION right where you want to be in the Downtown next... More

For all my coming and going I stayed here almost 3 weeks in a span of 5 months. The majority of the staff are very friendly and accommodating save for one sour apple. There is ample illuminated parking, card keys are required after hours (as will all hostels). The rooms are reasonably clean, the kitchen has more than enough space... More

This was my 4th. time staying in Alaska Backpackers, and once again "Very Satisfied". Even though it was a slower due to winter season, it still was very clean and comfortable stay. I now feel like one of the regulars, and thats exactly they way they (The Staff) made me feel.

We live in New Zealand and have seen a lot of hostels. Our Alaska trip was special and Ak Backpackers did the job. Great place to base out of, great price, close to everything we wanted to do and friendly staff.

The people at this hostel make it what it is! The helpful staff and positive environment made us feel like it was home every time we came back from other parts of the state. Awesome location makes everything downtown accessible, great kitchen, clean hostel, and lots of great people to meet. The opportunity to paint on the walls makes it... More

I have stayed at better hostels, but this one served it's purpose. My private room was decent, and I felt safe there. The bathroom was typical "hostel" quality, and there is a large "commons" area in the basement with good kitchen and comfortable seating area. The staff was helpful, but if you want a towel, you have to ask for... More
