person found this review helpful

I work seasonally for various National Parks concession. My summers are spent at Denali National Park, Alaska. Going to and from job, Ive come to make the Backpackers Inn a waystop before and after leaving Denali. The management, Ken and Joseph, are very helpful in making my stay there pleasant. Id recommend the Inn as a excellent stopping point in travelling

“Home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

The people at this hostel make it what it is! The helpful staff and positive environment made us feel like it was home every time we came back from other parts of the state. Awesome location makes everything downtown accessible, great kitchen, clean hostel, and lots of great people to meet. The opportunity to paint on the walls makes it a memorable experience too! Along with being super friendly, staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we need. Thanks so much guys! -The Canadians

“Decent place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

I have stayed at better hostels, but this one served it's purpose. My private room was decent, and I felt safe there. The bathroom was typical "hostel" quality, and there is a large "commons" area in the basement with good kitchen and comfortable seating area. The staff was helpful, but if you want a towel, you have to ask for one. The most negative part of my 3 day stay was the location, it's essentially on the "edge" of Anchorage and a bit of a walk to downtown. I would stay there again.

“Was clean! good location! staff was helpful! and the commons area was good size!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

Yeah the place is really clean! the bathrooms and showers were in excellent condition. 2 bedroom bunk is kind of small but did not come to AK to sit in room so it suffice. They had a lot of seating in the open commons area which was great and it had a homey feel. Also had good size lockers in the room! I would definitely stay here again as the price is good too!
