Decent budget hostel

I stayed in Anchorage as my launch point to Denali and Seward/Kenai Fjords. It was good to be able to extend my stay and book the female dorm last minute in the days in between my trips. The manager, John, splits his time between the midtown location and downtown, and I found he was the most helpful in booking my transportation and the Kenai Fjords cruise. Overall staff were friendly and keep the place tidy despite how many ppl were staying there. It is a budget hostel and nothing fancy here. They provide breakfast which is a plus.

Very friendly staff. Good place to meet and chat with other travellers. Very conveniently located, about 1 block from the downtown bus transit center. Next door to the Marriott, which is an easily seen landmark. Breakfast items provided, and the kitchen has an area where you can leave excess food you may have purchased or take what others have left behind. Wifi signal wasn't strong in my room (just off the kitchen/dining area) but worked fine in the common areas.

Great location, good value.

The 8 bed dorm we stayed in was spacious, clean, very close to the bathroom. Good security with swipe card for dorm level entry, kitchen level entry and to room. Kitchen is spacious, and clean. Complimentary coffee was nice. Convenient downtown location just 10 min walk to alaska railroad depot. Very good value.

Fit our needs

This is a hostel more than a hotel. Convenient and inexpensive by Alaska standard. Shared bathroom and a room just for sleeping. Fit our needs and that's what counts.

Decent lodging for a hostel ( my first time). Rooms were small but clean. Quiet building. Didn't care for the shared bathroom but I'm not a hostel type of traveler as I've learned lol. There are no blackout curtains which is also a problem.

Highly questionable accomdation

The place is relatively clean but the rooms are a real joke; the bed was on rollers, no trash can, tv, clock or mirror. Would NEVER stay there even if it was free. No insulation in the walls so not quiet.

Good nights sleep

Place is very clean, bed was comfy, a little squeaky. The Walls are a bit thin but slept well. Front staff very helpful. Worth the money if you have more then 2 staying. Would stay a again for a quick stop overnight.

The room was half- underground with size of barely fit into a full size bed, and the wall too thin to block any sound from rooms next/near you.

Cheapest place to stay

It's been years since I used a dormitory style accommodation and I remember why I hate it. Uncomfortable beds, 1 thin pillow, inconsiderate room mates and snorers. But that's what dorm style hostel is all about and you get what you pay for. The money I saved by staying here afforded me a train ticket to Denali so it was worth it.
