Denali Hostel & Cabins - Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska

El hostel esta a 20 kms de la entrada al Parque Nacional Denali; pero no te preocupes si estas sin auto, el hostel tiene un shuttle diario a la mañana y a la tarde/noche que es gratis, y te busca por el parque. ||En cuanto a las instalaciones estan muy buenas, tiene un fogon que da al rio que esta muy bueno. Lo unico malo es que no trabaja con los portales de hostels, como Hostelworld o Hostelbookers; entonces la unica manera de reservar es mediante la pagina de ellos, y tenes que pagar al momento de reservar.

Fuimos a Carlo Creek porque unos amigos que habían estado hace cinco años nos hablaron muy favorablemente de él. Ahora el lugar da una sensación de total abandono. Cabañas sucias y con mal mantenimiento y hierbas crecidas por todos los lugares. Los aseos eran simplemente asquerosos e insuficientes para la capacidad de alojamiento del Hostel. El hostel queda en la zona de la umbría, en la orilla del aroyo, por lo que es un lugar bastante frio y húmedo. Por otra parte los precios son bastante elevados para traterse de un Hostel y para las condiciones en las que está. En resumen, la estancia fue soportable pero el lugar se ha quedado muy desfasado.

Hostel formado por varias cabañas.||Las cabañas son amplias y limpias. Bien insonorizadas y acodiciadas con radiador eléctrico.||En el centro del hostel esta la cabaña principal con cocina y sofás.||Hay internet y varios servicios.||Recomendado pedir las cabañas mas cerca de la cocina.||

Nice, clean, comfortable, and affordable option for visiting Denali National Park. The kitchen is big with the necessary dishes and appliances. Ample room for parking if you have your own car. And, it's right next to several restaurants within walking distance.

The sound of the creek in the evening was nice. Check-in was easy. The hostel was quiet and not one of those party vibes. And, I saw people of all ages from young teens with parents to retired adults exploring on their own.

I wish I had more time to spend another night and meeting more interesting people.

Highly recommend if you're looking for something affordable and clean.

This hostel would have been great, except that Sheep Shuttle, the main shuttle service that takes people between the hostel and the park, closed down about a week before our stay. Consequently, it was very expensive and troublesome to get to and from the park and to our bus pick up spot. So I don't recommend this hostel for anyone who doesn't have a rental car. The only other thing is that the office opens pretty late and closes pretty early, so we had to check ourselves in and out, and it didn't really have that community feel that most people like from hostels. The washing machine only accepts quarters, which you can get at the office when they're open. But since we didn't get back until the office was closed, the owner had to drive back up after 10 pm to give us quarters, which wasn't fun for either of us. ||The hostel grounds are absolutely stunning!! The is a fire pit and we loved the s'mores kit! There's a creek running right through the hostel and it's surrounded by an amazing mountain view. Our cabin and the bathrooms were clean and comfortable. It's also right across the street from an amazing pizza restaurant with good beer and a cafe that's open early. ||I would recommend this place for people on a budget or just wanting to get away from all the tourists IF you have a car.

We stayed in Canvas Castles (tents). Added to the adventure. Very nice people to work with. Cozy, clean sleeping bags on padded cots were quite adequate on a chilly night, but there were extra blankets available, if needed. Showers/toilets were close. Loved listening to the rain that started after we were tucked in and stopped before we got up. Only about 15-20 minute drive to Denali Visitors Center. Five minutes to Denali Air and Husky Homestead. Nice gathering area to prepare/store/eat your own food. We had breakfast at a restaurant across the road. I'd definitely stay here again.

This was our second stay here 5 years apart. This place has had some upgrades in that time which are great! The Sanctuary cabins are awesome with plenty of space and I love the common area of The Octagon for cooking and talking with fellow travelers. It's a homey place with a great vibe that you look forward to returning to after a day if hiking or adventuring. Thank you again for another memorable stay!

This was one of my favorite hostel experiences to date. It was very cozy, clean, and stocked with good indoor games and books. I stayed for two evenings and found it to be the perfect base camp for Denali (National Park and State Park). Additionally, there are two great restaurants across the street with great beer - an unexpected amenity in that rural of a place!
