The Hostelz.com Review
Denali Mountain Morning Hostel & Lodge is unlike many other hostels with log cabin buildings nestled in the foothills of the Alaskan range.
The Location
Bordering Carlo Creek, Denali Mountain Morning is comprised of several buildings and located just off the Denali Highway. The hostel offers a very convenient shuttle van that runs daily pickups from the train station and Denali National Park, making the hostel very easy to access. One bus stop is located directly across the street from the hostel. The scenery surrounding the place is stunning and offers guests countless outdoor exploring opportunities.
Rooms and Bathrooms
Denali Mountain Morning has several cabins offering private cabins as well as dormitories. The main hostel area is cleaned thoroughly daily and the overall cleanliness was very impressive. (The main area does have a small lockout time frame to allow for cleaning.) The women's dorm located in the main building, the Octagon, comprises of six bunks and shared bathroom facilities.
Common Spaces
The main floor of the Octagon is open for all guest use. Inside lies the guest kitchen and a small living room for guest use. Additionally, the Octagon has an outdoor patio area. The creek side area next to Carlo Creek features a picnic area and seating along with a fire pit. The Denali Mountain Morning Hostel is extremely nice and well-kept, it also caters to a wide range of people from young travelers to families with young children. As a result, one looking for a party hostel would be disappointed. Yet, this is expected as Denali is all about the outdoor experience and in that realm -- the Denali Mountain Morning cannot be beat.
Summary
The Denali Mountain Morning Hostel offers beautiful accommodations for travelers to explore the magnificent beauty of the surrounding area. With easy access to Denali National Park, the location, and charming log cabin atmosphere of the Denali Mountain Morning make it a must-see in Denali.

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
It's ok The facilities are good. Staff do have an attitude -- this is the worst part. Try to get the sheets that you paid for or they won't bring you -- cold at night. Only pay the shuttle if you are completely sure you are gonna get or they won't give your money back even if you call saying that you don't need a ride that day. Try to book tours by yourself with the tour company or you can face the problem of not being booked with the company at all and lose your day waiting for people to show up. — tirsha , Canada (2008-07-08) I spent three weeks living at the hostel exploring Denali and the Nenana river. Throughout my time at Mountain Morning Ben and Becky treated me as a friend, let me eat with them out of their room, and made me feel like we'd known each other years. I could not have asked for more from hosts, or from the facilities. I played with the dog, threw darts, relaxed by the river, and had beers with the employees across the street at Cozy Creek. It was a wonderful time, no complaints except a foggy day here or there, but what do you expect, perfect weather for three weeks? I would unconditionally recommend the hostel and the hosts. — Adam Zachary (2005-09-30) Very nice hostel. I had a private room in one of the cabins and it was very comfortable and nice. There are a couple restaurants close to the hostel and the hostel has a nice kitchen. — smbslt (2005-09-05) This is by far the worst hostel experience I've ever had. First I'm accused of not making their 5:30 shuttle. Then there's no Internet as advertised. The microwave is out of order. The front desk staff has an attitude. I write to express my concern and Becky, the "owner," accuses me of "pounding my fist on their desk" and that if she had been there, she would've asked me to leave.
What a joke!! Staff are liars!!! — Never Again (2005-08-09) It is a beautiful spot, and has some taste of the original Alaska: log houses, a creek, and the mountains around you. There also are two nice and unusual places to eat and have a drink across the street. The only thing I found a bit inconvenient was that the office, the little store they have there, and the kitchen and showers are closed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Of course, it is laid out for people spending their time in Denali, but if you are a longtime traveler it is nice to hang out in a place that is as nice as this during the day as well. But still: I thought it was one of the best hostels in Alaska. — Heike (2004-08-06) This hostel is beautiful! It's especially impressive when it is taken into account that your hosts built most of it themselves. The cabins give a nice, homey feeling, and there's always food in the fridge. Your hosts, Ben and Becky, are the friendliest people you'll meet in Alaska, and they do all they can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. It's a must-see place!! — Berkeley Gieber (2003-11-21)
