Decent budget hostel
I stayed in Anchorage as my launch point to Denali and Seward/Kenai Fjords. It was good to be able to extend my stay and book the female dorm last minute in the days in between my trips. The manager, John, splits his time between the midtown location and downtown, and I found he was the most helpful in booking my transportation and the Kenai Fjords cruise. Overall staff were friendly and keep the place tidy despite how many ppl were staying there. It is a budget hostel and nothing fancy here. They provide breakfast which is a plus.
Very friendly staff. Good place to meet and chat with other travellers. Very conveniently located, about 1 block from the downtown bus transit center. Next door to the Marriott, which is an easily seen landmark. Breakfast items provided, and the kitchen has an area where you can leave excess food you may have purchased or take what others have left behind.
Wifi signal wasn't strong in my room (just off the kitchen/dining area) but worked fine in the common areas.

Friendly, attentive, and helpful staff. Clean and well maintained rooms, and facilities. Definitely worth staying here.
The 8 bed dorm we stayed in was spacious, clean, very close to the bathroom. Good security with swipe card for dorm level entry, kitchen level entry and to room. Kitchen is spacious, and clean. Complimentary coffee was nice. Convenient downtown location just 10 min walk to alaska railroad depot. Very good value.
Really friendly and helpful staff!
Got a kitchen with all the essentials, very clean and close to downtown and just around the corner from the bus station. Definitely recommend this place!
This was a surprisingly decent budget hotel that was clean, quiet, and friendly. Shared bathrooms were in great conditions, laundry facilities were fantastic to have in the frequently rainy weather, and the rooms were quiet. We had a private room right next to the men's bathroom and it was never too noisy. Easy central location was nice and walkable.
This is a hostel more than a hotel. Convenient and inexpensive by Alaska standard. Shared bathroom and a room just for sleeping. Fit our needs and that's what counts.

Decent lodging for a hostel ( my first time). Rooms were small but clean. Quiet building. Didn't care for the shared bathroom but I'm not a hostel type of traveler as I've learned lol. There are no blackout curtains which is also a problem.

One night stay
Very Helpful and loved their restaurant recommendations. Great beds.
The place is relatively clean but the rooms are a real joke; the bed was on rollers, no trash can, tv, clock or mirror. Would NEVER stay there even if it was free. No insulation in the walls so not quiet.
Place is very clean, bed was comfy, a little squeaky. The Walls are a bit thin but slept well. Front staff very helpful. Worth the money if you have more then 2 staying. Would stay a again for a quick stop overnight.
