 "We stayed six days in this hostel. All the rooms we stayed were very clean. The owner of this hostel, Mr. Gunder, was very friendly, informative, and kind. We had a great stay in this hostel. This hostel is at a convenient location in Anchorage." … "Joseph, the owner, was very helpful and knowledgable about Alaska. He demonstrated on numerous occasions helpful and moneysaving ideas of...
 "This place is great, run by a wonderful Argentinean couple, Sebastian and Marcella, who biked it all the way up from Ushauaia in Argentina to Alaska on $2 a day! They are incredibly friendly and help you with all your questions on travel within the region. We stayed initially in a four-bed dorm that was comfortable and then hitched up a tent in the garden for $10 each. They have free Internet,...
 "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...
 "Anchorage seems to make all its money on tourists. Every hotel price I saw was stupidly unreasonable ($175 and up per night). Jason provides a wonderful alternative for those who don't mind sharing a room with others. The facilities more than suffice for a place to lay your head, providing any feature a hotel provides. Beyond that, the hospitality here is amazing. Jason and James are very...
"Qupqugiaq Inn is a remarkable first-class hostel and a beautiful space for conscious independent travelers. Filled with curving walls, organic materials, and international themes, Qupqugiaq is a great value and a cool place to stay. Guests have access to a full kitchen, a free cyber bar and wireless Internet, and a spacious common area. In addition, the hostel is adjacent to a café with...

 "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...

 "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....
 "This is, by far, the best hostel I have ever stayed in. It is VERY clean and resembles a B & B rather than a hostel except for the dorm room. Andy was very helpful in suggesting things to do. I was there by myself and was not "weirded out" but appreciated the time he took to make suggestions or invite me along to the bar where he was playing at or out for dinner with everyone at the hostel (I...
 "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. My family had a...
 "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." … "While the hostel itself isn't bad, the area of town it is in is rather dodgy. (I heard gunshots just outside my window.) The staff can be pleasant or downright surly." … 3601 Peterkin Avenue


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.
