In my opinion, travelers are VERY lucky to have this accommodation option in the breathtaking town of Skagway (the only other budget option right in town, is camping in the RV parks). I chanced upon the Skagway Home Hostel years ago as a solo traveler exploring the Inside Passage and have stayed there repeatedly over the years. I would recommend... more

Could not have felt more comfortable unless I was home. The owners, Nancy and Frank, were very helpful in pointing out things to do around Skagway. And the use of all the facilities(frig, laundry room, etc.) was sweet. They even helped me find a place in Juneau when I left. Also felt very safe here. I am actually looking forward... more

I've been to the Skagway Home Hostel twice, once with my son before and after our hike on The Trail in 2003 and last year as a solo traveler. It's a home away from home with all the amenities plus an open kitchen where I could store food and help myself to anything else I needed. Frank and Nancy were... more

I was very impressed from the idea behind the Hostel: Sharing their home with people from all over the world ! You are not excluded from the living room or dining room. They even offer a shared Dinner (for a limited number of hostellers). If you are open minded, you can get in touch to a real special family and... more

- great location right in the heart of Skagway, only 5 mins to the ferry terminal - clean and big female dorm with only 5 beds and there is definitely enough space for all your luggage (I don´t now how much luggage the one person had, who said here that there was not enough space. Have you guy ever stayed... more

When backpacking I have seen a lot, but I have never found another place like the Skagway Home Hostel. Here the focus is on "home", even though it's a hostel everybody of any age is welcome ... and as soon as you put your foot over the door step you feel that you are in a home, in a warm... more

As we were doing a hike, we were meant to be staying there a night before and a night after, but as the train was not going to stop where we were to get off, we stayed two nights in a row which were absolutely fine. i was staying in the mens dorn with my grandfather adn as there was... more

We were planning to stay at the Skagway Home Hostel for 4 nights and after the first night we were wondering how much we would pay to never return. The women's dorm was terribly crowded with no place to store your stuff. There was clutter and junk EVERYWHERE. Every surface in the house was covered with nick-nacks. The wall paper... more

A group of us (10) stayed at this "hostel" before we hiked the Chilkoot trail. As we walked to the place, we realized that it was not the best choice. The garden was disorganized and filled with trash. Before the hike, we were allocated the "shed". This is a modified garage kind of place with a meat freezer in it.... more
