Great hostel Very good hostel and nice manager. She can give you great advice and is really making your stay memorable. I celebrated my birthday while I was staying in the hostel and she made me a birthday cake, thanks Nancy! The hostel is located within five minutes walking distance from downtown and when you're not outside you can relax inside, watch a movie in the living room, or read one of the books from the large book collection that's available. I will definitely stay there again when I'm around.
Excellent accommodation all round. Stayed here end of August 2008 and after traveling through Alaska and staying at hostels. This would have to be the best hostel in the Northern Hemisphere. For the price and compared to everywhere else even other hostels it is cheap and has a five-star rating. The beds are better than a lot of hotels. The Manager is a great person and very helpful. Not all hostels have storage in rooms, or bins. You have to be very tidy and should be able to store your own things in travel bags, then things dont get mixed up. The internet works very well and there is not a problem that we found. As for the Manager drinking, this was never seen in working hours in the five days we spent there. Anyone wanting to stay here, even the not so young, it is a great place. Any concerns, pay a little bit more and take the cabin in the backyard. Would recommend this to any traveler.
I stayed there a little while ago. the hostel was ok, Clean, and the other travelers were very welcoming. But I had a few issues with the place. No security no lockers or even a storage bin in rooms -- things end up all over the place, easy to get stuff stolen. Door stays unlocked all night! Had food go missing which was labeled, and had a few of my beer stolen! I don't drink much but love one before bed and it wasn't there! They were labeled too and beer isn't cheap -- over $20 at the beer store. Wi-Fi/internet access poor at best -- wireless runs like dial up, guest computers running old operating system had a hard time just checking my email. But free is free I guess. Manager -- saw her drinking at eleven in the morning. think she has a bit of a drinking problem -- when she wasn't cleaning or in her office she was drinking. This didn't sit right with me and tainted my overall impression of the hotel. When she left the hostel for whatever reason (yes drinking and driving how safe!) she put one of the other hostelers in charge. More staff needed. To say I was glad to leave the hostel is an understatement. Even though the other hostelers there were amazing people it was the manager and the lack of security that was not acceptable. The owner needs to get rid of the manager and get some sort a lock on the doors. Have at least two people running the place so other travelers are not put in charge and responsible for the place and make sure they are not drunks who drink and drive.
Beez Kneez is a great place to stay. I liked it so much I stayed another night! I have stayed in hostels around the world, and this is one of my favorites. It is clean, well run, and the staff is friendly and helpful. It has a very safe and home-like feel, the living room invites you to relax and chat with others or comfortably relax on your own. Walking distance to downtown. Much cheaper than the motels! Good books, good music. Good kitchen. Pleasant atmosphere and all around good energy. I recommend this place to anyone passing through Whitehorse.
I stayed in the Beez Kneez hostel in the summer of 2006. I have to say of all the hostels ive ever stayed in, and ive been to tons, this is by far the best one ive ever been to. The staff there were absolutely great, the facilities were very modern and clean. the rooms were spacious and comfortable, and if you spend the extra 15 dollars a night get the cabin. it was the best sleeping quarters and the best sleep i had all summer, despite the twenty-two hours of sunshine.
I stayed here a couple of times this summer, and really liked it. Great atmosphere and wood floors, African decor from the owners having spent time there, a whole library of music and fresh coffee in the morning. The beds were great with warm plushy covers, which I appreciated, because the first time I stayed it was a bit too cold! They also had Internet and a nice comfy common room downstairs, and even a laundry. It's a nice new clean place without being institutional. The owners also have the Klondike Rib and Salmon Barbecue in town, (he's the chef) so if you want a real Yukon treat, check it out.
I stayed in the summer of 2004. The people were very friendly. The hostel was very clean and convenient. The location is close enough to downtown to walk to get food, etc., but far enough away to be quiet. I hope to stay here again the next time I am in Whitehorse.
I love this hostel. It was my first hostel experience and so far, the best one. The hostel is very clean and cozy. It is staffed by a friendly and helpful bunch. It feels like you are staying at a friend's house. They offer free showers and Internet access, plus a phone line just for your friends and family to call you on. I can't sing their praises enough!
The Beez Kneez is a great hostel. Donna, Tomo and the rest of the staff are so friendly and really make you feel welcome. I loved the fact that they give you a tour of the hostel rather than making you find your room like other hostels do. The rooms are clean and cozy, plus you may end up with a double bed all to yourself. The showers are great. Guests get free use of the Internet. The Beez Kneez hostel is a great value. Thank you to the staff who made my stay in Whitehorse a memorable one.
I spent a few nights at the Beez Kneez and had a great time. I was lucky enough to get a double bed all to myself, which was so cozy. The showers are great and the hostel is very clean. Donna is really friendly and a wonderful person to talk to. All the staff were fantastic and made my experience at the hostel a great one. Thanks to all who made my stay wonderful.
Go to the Beez Kneez and no further! It is a haven for both the weary and the energetic traveler. It has excellent staff and cozy accommodations. Come as a stranger, leave as a friend. It's true!
Beez Kneez was a welcomed sight after staying in campgrounds for a week! Nice shower, comfy bunks, friendly. I just wish they'd put up some heavy, dark curtains to block out the "Midnight Sun" for those of us who are not accustomed to 24 hours of daylight! But it's a good place to stay while exploring Whitehorse.
I had an excellent stay at the Beez Kneez in July 03. Well furnished, clean, and neat in all respects. Friendly and extremely well-managed. About Hostelz.com - Privacy Policy - Contact Hostelz.com - Add a New Hostel - Group Bookings - Reservations at Beez Kneez Bakpakers Hostel
