87%  "Pleasant stay for first timer - I had never stayed at a hostel before, so I was a little nervous about how the experience would turn out. Arctic Adventure provided me with a pleasant first impression. The hostel provided a shuttle from the airport. The place was always clean. Comfortable beds. Good location. I would definitely recommend this hostel." … "Clean, cheap, and lots of extras -...
81%  "Hostels -- worked for us! - I got stranded in ak when a volcano prevented airlines from leaving. I was low on funds and found this hostel. I was very impressed with how nice and helpful the staff was. They sent someone to the airport to pick my roommate and I up. I was traveling with thirty pounds of fish and they found room in their freezer to store it for me. This place is within walking...
78%  "Best hostel in Anchorage, hands down! - The hostel is within walking distance of downtown, with two bars in close proximity. It is far enough away though that you don't get any seedy drunk characters hanging around. Getting to the supermarket/walmart/barnes&noble means walking to downtown and getting a bus, but to me that was no big deal. The whole place is new and very clean. Is is gradually...
76%  "Best in Anchorage - Ive stayed at other Hostels in the Anchorage, AK area, Jasons is by far the best. it is very clean and the staff here are very very friendly, they have a great FREE breakfast every morning, coffee is served all day and every Wednesday evening Jason makes Dinner for all the Hostelers. the condition of the building is in great shape, Jason has hired someone full time to clean...
84%  "Very well run. Friendly and safe environment for lone women travelers - The hostel is ideally situated for a bus route or walk into Anchorage centre. It offers a sense of security along with the excellent travel guidance and advice of the couple who run it who are a young, well traveled couple from Argentina. I stayed there for over ten days back in December 2006. That stay has proved me with...
71%  "Never Again - Stayed here for one night. well actually only a few hours. Very dirty rooms and amenities with food scraps and dirty dishes left all over the dorm. Several long term residents in the room argued like children all night long. I left at 1a.m. after the guy in the bed next to me started urinating everywhere. Worst hostel experience in six months traveling northern America." …...
88%  "This hostel is very busy. It's in the largest city in Alaska. Make sure, you have reservation, before get there! The good news is, there is no sales tax in Anchorage. They have two kitchens and four bathrooms. The dorms are a little tight, but ok, and can sleep up to 6 people. The kitchen and dining areas are separated, so you don't have to cook in the crowd. If you need to wash your...
81%  "Lovely place to stay with hosts who are kind and very helpful - This place is the ideal place for travelers on the move or even for those who wish to linger awhile in anchorage. It is always clean and well kept -- and the facilities are good for cooking and relaxation.The hosts here are always accessible and friendly and will go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.

73%  "great place, very, very, friendly host! actually the hostel was full but they let me sleep in the entry hall. very, very clean place, nice services (i borrowed a bicycle and they wouldn't even charge me anything). very familiar and cozy place in a scenic, residential zone of Anchorage. Best hostel in Alaska." … "This is, by far, the best hostel I have ever stayed in. It is VERY clean and...
(Downtown)
45%  "It is an easy walk to the hostel from the bus stop or a short taxi from the train station. The local free maps, make it easy to show you how to get to the right stree. The location of this hostel is great, however, that is about the only postive. This hostel lost is lustre a long-time ago and it doesn't take long to work out that its Hostel International membership has long since expired....
38%  "Once I had been there for a week. crack smoking and rather smelly folk as roommates/bunkmates can be irritating. Not the best neighborhood to be in if you are a straight-edge." … "Sucks Big Time - I have never seen such a disgusting place. The guy running the upstairs, "Bear," is a psychotic freak and is on parole. The owners, Chris and Ed, may be unaware of this, but I don't think so....

Anchorage Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by Canoer
Anchorage hotels tend to double in price on June 1; however the off-season before then and after the US Labor Day weekend can be cold and many attractions don't gear up until June. Fun bike paths and moose in town. B&Bs can be a happy medium between the $$$ hotels and some of the less attractive hostels (~$80 in '05), For rest of state, Denali fills up early so plan ahead for that park if you can. Backcountry camping is usually available. If you bus to Denali, the train back is fun. McCarthy/St. Elias is uncrowded; more difficult to get to w/o a car. Small boat day tour to glaciers in Seward is recommended and easy to get too and a night there is fun.
