The fine print
Need-to-know information for guests at this property

Hostels are uniquely different from a hotel in that guests share dorm rooms for sleeping as well as common spaces.

For the safety of our community, we are unable to host travelers who are feeling ill. Please notify staff if you are not feeling well; which includes a sore throat, cough, runny nose, or a fever.

Please note that a major credit card is required upon arrival. A debit card does not qualify as a major credit card, and will not be accepted.

The female-only and co-ed dormitories have 2 bunk beds in each room (4 beds total).

The property does not assign particular beds to each guest, and cannot guarantee you will receive a bottom bunk. A top bunk would require you to be able to climb a ladder to the upper bed.

If you are planning to arrive after 23:00, a late check-in can be arranged by using the Special Requests box when booking.

The property will send information with late check-in instructions 1-2 prior to arrival.

Guests are required to show a photo identification and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.

Please inform Base Camp Anchorage Hostel in advance of your expected arrival time. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly with the contact details provided in your confirmation.

Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian.

In response to Coronavirus (COVID-19), additional safety and sanitation measures are in effect at this property.

It is not possible to stay at this property for Coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine purposes.
