So,what more can I say? It was definitely a free upgrade. The staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful although some guests has commented... More

Room was okay the first time (quite dirty and very small for 70$, but we didn' have any comparison in Alaska that time) and staff awful the second time. They gave us twice a room that was already someone in it and... More

“Nice, decent, centrally located hostel”

Reviewed 9 June 2013 via mobile

Stayed here recently for a couple nights before we headed up to Denali. I would say this hostel is just above average for hostels. Rooms are very basic. Ours was a private room for two people. It contained a bunk bed and no furniture. Beds were ok. Shower rooms were nice. There are private coed ones along with male and... More

“Super Fun place to stay!”

Reviewed 8 June 2013

Of course you've got to realize that a hostel is not like a hotel. But once you are OK with that, this is one of the best, most fun hostels around. There are a lot of options of room types, but my two young daughters and I just stayed in the bunkhouse, which is decorated with lots of colorful murals... More

“Nice and cheap with great staff”

Reviewed 5 June 2013

I stayed at the Backpackers Inn at the end of May with my wife and I will definitely recommend it to other travelers! Our room was very basic, but compared to any other place in town I would say they are the best choice if you are on a budget ($60 for a private room - hotels start at $200)!... More

“Severe bed bugs in room 206”

Reviewed 3 June 2013

I stayed at the hostel May 25-28 and May 30-1. I originally booked a private twin share room. The first night I stayed in room 206. When I woke after the first night, I found bed bugs on me and managed to catch one and keep it in a plastic bag. Upon inspection of the room, there was black dust... More

LeAnne - Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience. As we discussed over our e-mail, we blocked room 206 from renting after the incident. It is still blocked (over a week later), as well as the other 2 rooms that we upgraded you too after you informed us. We appreciate you still continuing your stay with us after your unsatisfactory...

“A perfect way to experience the excitement of Anchorage, Alaska!”

The Alaska Backpackers Inn is just a short walk from downtown Anchorage! I found the Inn itself to be very clean and family wholesome! There was never a long wait to use one of the restroom facilities or showers. Also, these private areas were kept clean and dry. I would highly recommend the Alaska Backpackers Inn, not only for its... More

I took a trip to Alaska in early may and was a little hesitant about what hostel to choose.
