“The genuine article.”

Sure there are fancier places to stay in Dawson City but the question is.... why? The bunkhouse is the place to be for an authentic Dawson experience. This is indeed the real deal. This was our first time and we liked it so much (the CIty and the Bunkhouse) that we changed our plans to stay longer. Small but clean rooms with a choice of facing the Yukon River (Right across the park!) on facing the town and the mountains behind. Young crowd which might explain a lot of the other lower ratings I see here. But, People! Get with the program! If you wanted upscale comforts you should have stayed south! The atmosphere was friendly and the staff knew their town well enough to direct us to everything we wanted to see.
Would definitely return and plan to for a longer stay sometime in the future.

Room Tip: The showers and washrooms for most rooms are separate and shared. Try and get a room close (Not too...

“No more a good place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2011

I come to Bunkhaus for many years, it was a good place specially for this price but now... Nobody came in the room to clean for several days, dust, old bottles old fruit under the bed. washrooms indescriptible, showers... and reception empty most of time. If you want to keep customers for next years you have to make dramatic changes.

“Has Potential...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2010

The Bunkhouse is one of the many places in Dawson whose owners live in Germany. The two front desk managers in 2010 (Paul and Heidi) ran the place, and were absolutely useless for the most part. I saw paper towel in the washrooms for about 3 days of the whole month, even after asking both Heidi and Paul to replace it. The toilets, sinks, and showers were almost never cleaned (unless there was a new complementary band-aid thrown in one of the showers each morning), and any time you asked for something or if something needed to be cleaned, the managers were "busy". For 500 a month, 60-80 a night, or 200-300 a week, you could do a lot better. This place would be amazing if the managers cared about it at all, and if the owners fixed it up with even a single communal kitchen area (there's nothing there to cook with at all) and some wi-fi. It's too bad it's run the way it is...maybe it will improve in the future.
