"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....

Puffin Inn of Anchorage

10/10 Excellent
"I have mixed feelings, but the end result was fine. The first room I was assigned I did not like at all. It was like a cell. The door was difficult to open. Since I am a woman traveling alone, my room had a street level entrance and wasn’t in the main building. I didn't feel safe. I went to the reception desk and asked for a room in the main building. After a reasonable upgrade fee I moved to the room I slept in and was completely satisfied. Very nice indeed. "
