The Juneau Hostel features the standard communal hostel set up with common bathrooms. You cannot beat the prices. It is a popular destination for adventurers and you would be wise to get reservations in advance. Please note that your stay will be limited to a maximum of 5 days.
Along with the low cost and shared living spaces, travels must abide by strict hostel rules as well as a curfew. After curfew guests can leave but cannot come back in until morning. Be sure to check out the rules before booking.
I can attest as a local neighbor that the hostel is very well maintained and is clean and quiet. This is a great inexpensive alternative for the traveler on a budget.
On the other hand there is no privacy and you are expected to do a chore in the house. This may not be everyone’s idea of a vacation.
