This is a great place to stay, very clean, inviting, and warm. There are 3 dorm rooms, 2 private rooms and the crib cabin in the yard. I selected the small cabin, the bed takes up most of the space with standing room only along the bed which was tall and amazingly comfortable with plenty of blankets, it was a... More

My wife and I were on our first trip to Alaska, using the Alaska Marine Highway ferries. We went to motels and B&B places in Ketchikan, Haines, and Juneau, but just for something different we decided to stay at this hostel in Skagway. What a nice place! We had it to ourselves the days we were there and it was... More

When I first arrived in Skagway last May, I wasn't sure what I was going to do for work or where I was going to stay long term. I was fortunate enough to have picked the Alaskan Sojourn Hostel as my place to stay for the first week though - the hostel is a well-kempt, comfortable place to sleep, eat,... More

I have stayed in almost all the hostels in Alaska. But this one is special. The owners, Janilyn and Gary are friendly, kind and simply awesome! I also met some very interesting travelers who are open to sharing their travel experiences and made my short time in Skagway memorable. The hostel is cosy and almost homely. It is also very... More

I have been staying at the Alaskan Sojourn Hostel for a couple of years now. Janilyn is a great hostess and the atmostphere is very relaxed. This is not a youth hostel; the guests tend to be older and the laid-back lifestyle of Skagway is very evident. It is a great place to stay and the only place I will... More

Janilyn and Gary were very friendly, warm, socialable and welcoming hosts and run a wonderful hostel in a great location in Skagway. It's close enough to easily walk over to the main part of downtown but also away from the noise so a tranquil haven too. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and there is lots of information available... More

Having been travelling around Canada for a month before arriving at the hostel I needed to stop for a few days and re-group. This didn't feel like a hostel but like staying in a friends home. Clean, quiet and very comfortable. I would recommend a stay here if you are South East Alaska.

The Alaskan Sojourn Hostel was our starting off and ending place for hiking the Chilkoot trial. Originally attracted by the low price and proximity to downtown Skagway, we were pleasantly suprised to find not only lovely and clean accomodations, but also increadibly friendly and helpful hosts, Jan and Gary. Visitors enjoy full use of the kitchen, living room, and outdoor... More

We found the hostel a lovely place to stay, it has a real "homey" atmosphere. We were treated like family by our hosts Jan & Gary. The hostel is in a great location for walking to see the town, but is a quiet haven away from the crowds. It was our first stay in hostel accommodation, & we loved the... More
