Inn Hostel

😐 The mattress are very old, you can feel the springs very well... and the bunk beds are not very steady. The toilets are very clean. Breakfasts are basic. The location is very good, close to city centre. But traffic on the street are quite loud till late at night and can be disturbing so you need ear... People often mention clean, room, location,

    On cleanliness, convenience and the accommodating of guests, this is the standard that should count for all hostels and inns. Even as a 8-bed dormitory, this place is one I would seek out in Anchorage over and over again. The owner is a super guy as well, and very approachable. His contributions to the industry in the form of how prices are balanced with the standards he holds should not go unnoticed. Towels, shower/shampoo/conditioner are all taken care of and supplied. Beds are clean, floors, showers and restrooms are too. The rooms have windows for ventilation and they have a specific room operated by staff only for bigger luggage. Kitchen space is available as well as storage for food. The inn has a common room for hanging out with a relaxed atmosphere on the staff-floor. I heard of an event (through one who was there) from the night before where a guest in the dorm was hallucinating and freaking out from drug-use making the night bad for all parties there. When the staff was notified, this was taken care of immediately as far as I understood it. Yes, I would stay here again! And I probably will.

    The mattress are very old, you can feel the springs very well... and the bunk beds are not very steady. The toilets are very clean. Breakfasts are basic. The location is very good, close to city centre. But traffic on the street are quite loud till late at night and can be disturbing so you need earplugs. Staffs are ok. Some older guests didn't allow others to use the wc (with sinks, showers, toilets, changing area) while they were showering... strange. An older woman with lower body naked wandered around the front of the building (probably not much the hostel can do, but not so pleasant if you need to get in or out).

    Hello!. I stayed 2 night's. Ian was extremely helpful, professional, kind and very giving. I'm a traveling chef and he surprised me with a fantastic wild game cookbook. Gave it to me with well wishes. Women's bathroom very clean, plenty of new towles, soap, conditioners, body wash?, " ya can't beat that " !. Bed was comfortable and room was WARM, YOU WON'T FREEZE!!!.. Thanks for the hospitality, it's been appreciated... Best, Chef Sharon

    Good value for money. Clean rooms and very good location. We arrived around 1 AM and it took the receptionist a lot of time and knocking for us for him to get up and give us the keys. Please put a proper alarm/ringer.

    The hostel itself is nice and so is the location. Most of the staff is very attentive and easy to get along with,the exception would be Cynthia. She was very rude the entire time I was there. I went out of my way to be cordial to her,but to no avail. I thought it was just me but I noticed that she was very disagreeable towards many customers.

    Great place to stay, stayed there last year and just got back from there this year. The owner is very friendly and the employees are very friendly. Felt safe and comfortable there. Also very clean! Fresh nicely folded towels and wash clothes on the corner of your bed. Soap, shampoo and conditioner are always filled up. The bathrooms and showers are all clean too. There's a kitchen and a common room to watch TV or movies and get on their or your computer. Also the location is great you're just a very short walk from downtown Anchorage stores and activities. I'll be back there for sure.

    Luisa was great. The bus driver took me right from the airport to the inn. I stayed 1 night and overheard some pretty creepy conversations from outside the hostel. Bathroom and showers were well kept, bed was not very comfortable... especially with one pillow. Anchorage is nasty, this place is not.

    Very nice hostel. The beds are not bad, and free linens were nice. I felt safe the whole time. The bathrooms were sufficient, and there were two private rooms, as well as main bathrooms and showers. Friendly staff, and excellent location.

Awesome.

😠 I paid for a month. The first night was ok, the second night, I found cockroaches in my room. I went to another hotel right away. I called for a refund and the manager says he can only refund my deposit and not the $900.00 I paid for the month. Now I have to take them to small claims court. This is...

👍👍 Krista, Kathryn and Rachel are wonderful Inn keepers. We stayed 8 nights in early May in the Denali room. The bed & breakfast is conveniently located to downtown, but in a secluded quiet residential neighborhood. The area is safe, park out front of the inn, no noisy street traffic. The breakfast eac...
