    Too much compromises for the price

    Its in the middle of nowhere. No closeby store or restaurant to walk for food. There’s no desk and chair for work or for eating. You would think its a good deal bec of the price. But when you think of it, but when you think of it you are compromising so much. First, you are trying to be considerate in everyway. Trying not make any noises when walking around the house. Second, im here for work and theres not desk and chair in the room. And the kitchen is not a good place to stay long for work. Or outside when its cold and dark. And lastly, so much noise especially when people are walking around upstairs. I couldnt sleep well.

    Great wifi.

    The policy could be enforced more.

    The room was nice but there was marijuana smoking and it was loud. The website stated no smoking but the person next to my daughter's room smoked so much she got a headache and couldn't sleep.

    Pleasant accommodation for a great price.

    In the small room, we would have appreciated more storage space, such as a small table or chair, especially in the 'closet.' A disadvantage of the accommodation was the very thin walls. Guests in another room were quite noisy at night, and we could really hear every sound. We would also appreciate more basic equipment in the kitchen, such as a kitchen knife, cutting board, dish towel, and cloth for the kitchen counter.

    The accommodation met our expectations, and the price/performance ratio is appropriate. We appreciated the cleanliness and the comfortable bed.

    Parking. TV didn't work. Bed was not comfortable. Honestly...it's needs some attention outside. It looked junky. We couldn't tell if this was the hostel...or someone's unkept house.

    It was clean.

    Nice neighbourhood, very polite and accommodating host. A value-for-money option for Anchorage in what feels like a friend's house more than like an impersonal guesthouse.

    When I went to this booking location, the place looked scary with trash all around. Didn't look like a hotel or a place of accommodation. Went ahead and rang the bell and no one opened the door.

    Nothing. This place is horrible and doesn't look anywhere close to the photos displayed in the listing

    The messages you get for check in have quite a negative tone mentioning several times the owners right to kick you out, the area felt unsafe and very little nearby, not sound proof at all, kitchen didn’t have any bowls.

    Clean, let me change my check in date

    No way to improve this place totally unsafe, dirty and rundown!

    This place is a dump! We did not stay there as upon our arrival it is in a bad neighborhood and is a half way house type of establishment! When we arrived we were given a code to enter the facility and there where live roaches in the room we where supposed to sleep in. There is a shared bathroom space along with a kitchen. We immediately left this place upon arriving and seeing this after traveling 2 days we had to find another hotel late in the night that could take us. This place Should not be on Booking at all! We have requested full refund as we did not stay there! I was so upset and felt so unsafe let alone how run down and dirty this place is!

    I wasn’t too clear on what I could have in the kitchen, and I didn’t realise no one else was using the bathroom except me. That could have been invaluable information for me

    Good value for money. Bus to central downtown was only 5 mins walk and only $1

    People in and out all night and people in the house screaming at each other at 6:30 in the morning was not fun to wake up to.

    From the pictures online it looked like a neat place to stay but when you arrive it does not feel neat or safe.

    I arrive when I said I was going to between 5-6, was like 10 mins early. Could not gain entry to building, had to call, oh the room isn't ready yet we can refund you or have housekeeping come in like a half hour. Guy comes and let's me in, had to hangout in the kitchen and wait for him to clean the room. This place is noisy, nothing remotely soundproof about it the post says no pets but somebody had a dog that kept barking, lots of outside noise, noisy guests, could not get good rest here. The fire extinguisher upstairs doesn't have an inspection tag and needs recharged. Uncomfortable bed I wanted a cheap room for a night and that's exactly what I got I would have stayed in an actual hotel or an Air BnB but now I know

    Place is clean and has washer and dryer.
