Bent Prop Inn & Hostel-Downtown 700 H Street, Anchorage, AK 99501

"No rooms available in town because of a convention but, John got a for my wife and I for 1 night. Very thankful for making that happen. Nice clean room and John was very nice."

"Hello!. I stayed 2 night's. Ian was extremely helpful, professional, kind and very giving. I'm a traveling chef and he surprised me with a fantastic wild game cookbook. Gave it to me with well wishes. Women's bathroom very clean, plenty of new towles, soap, conditioners, body wash?, " ya can't beat that " !. Bed was comfortable and room was WARM, YOU WON'T FREEZE!!!.. Thanks for the hospitality, it's been appreciated... Best, Chef Sharon"

"The mattress are very old, you can feel the springs very well... and the bunk beds are not very steady. The toilets are very clean. Breakfasts are basic. The location is very good, close to city centre. But traffic on the street are quite loud till late at night and can be disturbing so you need earplugs. Staffs are ok. Some older guests didn't allow others to use the wc (with sinks, showers, toilets, changing area) while they were showering... strange. An older woman with lower body naked wandered around the front of the building (probably not much the hostel can do, but not so pleasant if you need to get in or out)."

"On cleanliness, convenience and the accommodating of guests, this is the standard that should count for all hostels and inns. Even as a 8-bed dormitory, this place is one I would seek out in Anchorage over and over again. The owner is a super guy as well, and very approachable. His contributions to the industry in the form of how prices are balanced with the standards he holds should not go unnoticed. Towels, shower/shampoo/conditioner are all taken care of and supplied. Beds are clean, floors, showers and restrooms are too. The rooms have windows for ventilation and they have a specific room operated by staff only for bigger luggage. Kitchen space is available as well as storage for food. The inn has a common room for hanging out with a relaxed atmosphere on the staff-floor. I heard of an event (through one who was there) from the night before where a guest in the dorm was hallucinating and freaking out from drug-use making the night bad for all parties there. When the staff was notified, this was taken care of immediately as far as I understood it. Yes, I would stay here again! And I probably will."

"Great place to stay, stayed there last year and just got back from there this year. The owner is very friendly and the employees are very friendly. Felt safe and comfortable there. Also very clean! Fresh nicely folded towels and wash clothes on the corner of your bed. Soap, shampoo and conditioner are always filled up. The bathrooms and showers are all clean too. There's a kitchen and a common room to watch TV or movies and get on their or your computer. Also the location is great you're just a very short walk from downtown Anchorage stores and activities. I'll be back there for sure."
