The people who checked us in were friendly and helpful, and gave us a good restaurant recommendation and a room upgrade since our room was not ready. Our room was clean, very quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. We shared a bathroom with only one other room, which was empty at the time. The location was great, right in... More

The first two nights I stayed there were quite nice. However, on the third night, I believed I picked up bedbugs. The bites appeared all over my body and at first I thought they were mosquito bites until I found an exoskeleton of a bedbug while unpacking at a different hostel the night after my last night's stay at Moby...

We had a very nice overnight here with two adults and one child. The facility was clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place if you are used to the hostel life! There was parking on premise and it was close enough to walk into town. The playground was also within walking distance. More

In July, 2011, we stayed in a family room, which consisted of a small kitchenette (small refrigerator, two-burner stove, coffee maker, pots/pans/dishes/utensils), a dining area, a double bed, and a twin bed. The room had a view of Resurrection Bay and the mountains above it. The bathroom was next door, shared by only one other family room (a smaller version... More

We were happy to end up in this hostel, clean, big kitchen, comfy and warm. The onlybad point is that we had a porblem with the passeport and we had to come back in Anchorage, explaining that to the tenants, we have booked for 3 nights, it was off peak season, plenty of space. We were hoping the tenants to... More

Susanne was very friendly, rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and we enjoyed great views of the bay from the window. Convenient location in walking distance of just about everything in Seward. Take a break from camping and enjoy a warm shower at the Moby Dick! More
