Perfectly located hostel, near city & airport bus depot (only $2.00, one way, airport to downtown transit center). Arrived late night, reserved room immediately available with tour of property. Well maintained, clean sheets and fresh smelling rooms-spotless bathrooms with hot water. Public space has computers, TV & relaxing couches/tables. Absolutely best price and value for a shared accommodation in Anchorage. Shuttle service best to plan & request in advance-service provided by other long term guests free lancing (not available after 10PM). Taxi from airport is very quick, moderate cost $17+, less than guide books. Absolutely great breakfast in ground level of Captain Cook hotel, salmon omelet with all the fixings, plus fresh real coffee, great service by wait staff. Easy walk to Captain Cook locale from hostel. Downtown Anchorage is painfully quiet on weekends-plan accordingly. Plenty of homeless folks wandering around but not aggressive, keep to themselves. Tons of bike rentals available for good weather day rides, Saturday market was setting up but late & mostly new stuff. Car rentals are at a premium in summer but worth a short reservation for exploring the country side & majestic mountains/scenery.
Have a great time-fellow travelers.
