Although located downtown we wouldn't come back. Stayed there in May and June for 4 resp. 1 night. 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

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

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

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

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

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...

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
