Base Camp Anchorage Hostel

I have only good things to say! Don't be intimidated by the thought of staying at a hostel. It is just what you need while on the road: a safe, warm, clean space to sleep without it costing an arm and a leg. It is close to the airport. Read the email sent after booking, as it has everything you need to know about checking in and the services offered. Tents, sleeping bags, and bear spray are rented out to travelers for a reasonable price. There is a stash of donated items other travelers did not use or use all the way; just ask. The privacy curtain around each bunk was very appreciated and blocks out the light while the midnight sun is up in the summer. There are 6 bathrooms, and guests come and go as their individual travel schedules demand, so the bathrooms stay available. The beds are clean, and the overall feeling is pleasant and homey. There is a security pin pad at the front door and at each room, so only those in the room have access, and it adds to the feeling of security while sleeping.

I absolutely loved this place. The owner, front desk, and guests are all so very nice. |I stayed on 3 different occasions during my 5 months in AK. It’s very clean and close to shops and restaurants. They even have bikes, sauna, & meditation soaks for a small fee. The teepee is fun for small gatherings and storytelling. I will definitely go back. ✌️

This was the first hostile that I have ever had the pleasure to stay in . I honestly believe that I couldn't have ended up in a better hostile for my first experience. The atmosphere that the staff and owner have created is absolutely amazing . As soon as you walk in you feel the warmth and welcoming atmosphere. It has the feel of like walking into your grammas house . It's a place where you can truly relax . The staff working here is beyond great . There very friendly, knowledgeable, they will go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as they can . The diversity of people and cultures that come through this place is absolutely amazing and wonderful. Definitely recommend base camp for anyone traveling to Alaska and around Alaska . Thank you base camp and all the staff from the bottom of my heart . |Ray muetz jr / the cowboy 🤠

Great hostel right in the center of town. Oley, the owner, is friendly and helpful—can give you guidance on hikes and all kinds of Alaskan adventures. The whole house was clean and had everything you could need (including a sauna, gear and bicycles for rent, community bonfires, etc) 10/10 stay here

Perfectly located! Easy to arrive from the airport, to walk downtown or take a bike around. The website and emails received have all the information one needs starting with how to take the bus from the airport to arrive at the hostel. It's clean, secure, and organized. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hikes organized for the afternoon are great. It's so nice to meet other travelers and hear their stories.

Base camp is phenomenal! It is close to downtown Anchorage as well as the airport. The staff is incredibly flexible, accommodating, kind, and has lots of knowledge of the area with tips and tricks they’re happy to share. The vibes were incredible; there were interesting but non intrusive people to chat with and the common spaces are nice and the kitchen too. There’s even outdoor space with picnic tables etc. I think they’re bathrooms and laundry is some of the cleaner that I’ve seen at hostels. Furthermore, the beds were comfortable and rooms spacious. I would definitely recommend!!!
