The kitchen can accommodate plenty of... More

This is a review for the hostel. I rented a bed for two nights in August. Moby Dick is right downtown so you can walk to all of the restaurants or bars. All the bathrooms were very clean and tidy. The kitchen space is large and seemed to have all essentials. Beds were decently comfy. Overall not a bad place... More

A nice hostel with good access to the ‘historic’ downtown of Seward and the Sea Life Centre. Seward itself is split into two sections but on cruise ship days a free shuttle links the two areas. Also a nice seafront walk but don’t attempt it with luggage as it’s quite a distance! We stayed in a double room with small... More

Aside from being within easy walking distance of the harbor and town, Moby Dick Hostel is clean, well maintained and run by a very sweet family. I had a bed in the women's dorm room on the second floor just off of the common room. Our window overlooked Ressurection bay. From the common room there is an excellent view of... More

The place is very well located, close to the super Yukon bar and Church café, and walking distance from the cruise pier. But apparat from that the building and rooms would meet some fresh painting to be more enjoyable, along with perhaps a warmer welcoming. Some strange noise (a big fence?) next to the dormitory room. As very often the... More

Moby Dick Hostel is in a very convenient location near the strip in Seward. We had a small and basic room on the ground floor of a home in the 300 block of 3rd Avenue, a couple blocks away from the office. The communal kitchen had just a few fry pans and saucepans but it was still much more useful... More

Says it all. Room in annex has 5 pallets that squeak a bit, but are very firm and a welcome respite.

The people who checked us in were friendly and helpful, and gave us a good restaurant recommendation and a room upgrade since our room was not ready. Our room was clean, very quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. We shared a bathroom with only one other room, which was empty at the time. The location was great, right in... More

We had a very nice overnight here with two adults and one child. The facility was clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place if you are used to the hostel life! There was parking on premise and it was close enough to walk into town. The playground was also within walking distance.
