I have stayed at this hostel on two different occasions and would definitely do so again. It is cheap, clean, well run, and very conveniently located in downtown Anchorage, within walking distance of many attractions and points of interest, as well as bus and train stations. One of the things I enjoy most about staying in hostels is the opportunity to meet other travelers from around the world. Anchorage International Hostel is a big bustling place and the staff and guests I have met here have all been friendly. Some have been downright interesting as well.
Unique Qualities: There are 3 to 6 beds in each of the gender-specific dorm rooms, with gym-style lockers. There is a large, well equipped common kitchen and seperate dining area as well as a large living room. The dormitory rooms are closed daily from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. for cleaning and security purposes, however, the common areas remain open from 8 a.m. 'till 1 a.m., which is cerfew. There is a courtesy telephone for local calls and pay phones for long distance. Internet access is available for a small fee.
The hostel does not provide parking, but I found free on-street overnight parking just a couple of blocks away.
