I have to say that someplaces in Alaska stay with you and the Top of the World is one. I shared a room with a friend so things turned out pretty good

Where to start... The positive: the staff was incredibly friendly and attempted to help. The rest: there was a cord of some kind running behind the toilet up the wall and into the main room. The place is in desperate need of an update, it was shabby. The power went out for 20-30 minutes then the satellite went out about... More

We stayed the night at the Top of the World hotel. We had difficulty booking a room for 3 adults, but after two phone calls were able to secure one. It had a double bed and a twin and the view overlooked the Arctic Ocean. It was in January, so there was a lot of darkness, but that was part... More

My expectations were not high for accomodations in Barrow. Seriously, in a land where basic necessities are double-triple what you pay in Anchorage or anywhere in the lower 48, I was not thinking I was getting the Ritz. Still, I was told that this was "THE" place to stay. And, all in all, it was a good stay. Most notably,... More

The other reviewers were spot-on. This is a good, basic hotel in a village where there are few choices and where everything must be flown or barged in. It was centrally located, on the beach and within walking distance of a couple of reastaurants and the bank. Both the evening and day clerks were friendly and helpful. There is a... More

Firstly, there are not many accommodation choices in this "last frontier" but this is the best centrally located. Like all buildings in town its exterior is unimpressive (due to the weather) but as soon as you go inside it is more than presentable. The room exceeded our expectations. Double and single beds with an ocean view and limited but adequate... More

I must start by saying that my wife and I are clean freaks! We are the type that, the minute we walk into any hotel room, wipe everything with Clorox wipies, even at the "Seasons," "Carltons," and "Orientals" of the world. While we wanted to experience Barrow overnight and not just fly in and out on the same day, we... More

I was booked into Top of The World Hotel by my Travel Manager during my overnight tour to Barrow as the conclusion of my Alaskan Experience.I had wanted to see Barrow having read so much about it and to be as close as I am going to get to being on top of the world.Included in my overnight stay was...

When you are in a place like Barrow, what can you expect from a hotel? Among the other choices available, there isn't really a choice and Top of the World Hotel is THE choice. I've seen the other hotels and their condition seem worse than this one. For someone who comes from California and have been to all the luxurious... More
