A complete "Dump". Old grungy rooms, along with horrible service. I would NEVER EVER stay here or recommend this place again. Trash !

Very cool old haunted hotel. Don't stay here if you need new accommodations. Don't stay here if you need a parking spot for your car because there are none and no one can tell you where to park. Don't stay here if you don't like loud music from the bar and noise constantly from the cars and street drunks outside. Don't stay here if you have heavy bags, because there are no elevators, and no one to help you get them to the 3rd floor. Only stay here if you want to experience an early 1900's hotel that's haunted...

Old historic hotel in the middle of down town. Great location. The place is old and shows but worth the money. The shower was hot and water pressure was great. Bed was super comfy. The room was small. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. The bar was fun and cheap, it was fun hanging with the locals. If you are a prima Donna this is not your place. If you are full of adventure then this is your place. I loved it.

This was our first time visiting The Alaskan Hotel & Bar, and it was a memorable experience. Known for their unique "crab fart," we decided to give it a try—it was definitely interesting but pleasantly tasty. The venue itself is rich with history, which adds a lot of character to the place.
The bartenders were all friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. If you’re in Juneau, I’d recommend stopping in for a drink and soaking up the historical atmosphere. I’m looking forward to coming back on our next visit!

Despite being in a groovy part of town, this hotel comes with a number of red flags. Don’t ignore them. First of all, you have to check in with the hotel staff by 4:00, otherwise you have to see the bartender to check you in. If your travel schedule does not meet theirs, be aware that the bartender is being a bartender, so you will wait on THEIR schedule. No traumatic worries, the bartender was accommodating, though problems with the printer necessitated my support behind the counter. It is all part of the check in process! Again, no worries, other foolish individuals will show up to check-in, and then the bartender will need to leave the desk with you standing there with them, so they can serve the thirsty patrons. You may pick up on some chatter about the hotel being haunted. When you ultimately get to your room on an upper floor, (note there is no elevator) you will find there is no ensuite! NO worries the place is haunted, how cool is that. The intrepid guest will interview random people in the hallway and discern the different codes for les toilettes and the separate shower room. I guess they were separated to class the place up. Imagine yourself as an Agatha Christie character like Hercule Poirot and find out the codes so you can urinate and shower. I am going to pump the brakes here, but please use your imagination for the shower. Think of something that a high school men’s showers seeks to avoid. I’m serious. But wait, let’s focus on the room. I wouldn’t be too concerned with the mold or mildew, after all that is ubiquitous, but take a sample and find out. I am including photographs. Even a rudimentary woodworker will stand agape at the level of workmanship on the door. The décor of the room exists in that curious gray area between landfill and crack house. Note the punchout on the headboard. Ketamine anyone? But wait, there is still more! The pièce de resistance, they have employed bed bug dishes on the bed legs! Again, see my National Geographic rivaling photo-essay on this sojourn. In summary, unless you possess the powers of St. John, and opt to risk parasitic insects from the genus Cimex, the terrors of that thing called a shower, a check-in process that makes Ellis Island look bucolic, and the ghost (that has the remote potential of being cool) which is diminutive in this pit of hell, then this is the hotel for you! Please add fleabag to your lexicon.
We love the Alaskan and all of it's staff. See you next year! : )

What a great place to stay! This oldest hotel in Alaska is on the historic register. If you are looking for modern, go elsewhere. But, if you want to step back in time and feel the energy of years gone by, this is the place to be. We were in room 333. It is a walk up. You can feel the history here and in the bar. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We paid a little extra and had a private bath. So worth it!
Rooms: Our room had a stove top with fridge, a full size bed, tv with thousands of channels, and a bathroom with a walk in shower.
Nearby activities: You are in the heart of downtown.
Safety: I felt safe in this hotel.
Walkability: Juneau is amazingly walkable!
Noteworthy details: Since our flight out didn't leave until 6pm, we were very appreciative of the front desk, who offered to hold our bags while we walked around town more.

Old hotel so know what you are getting. Amazing location. Cannot beat the area. Close to everything!!!! Great communication with staff before arriving. Cannot beat the price. The shower had great water pressure and hot water. We enjoyed our stay. I would recommend for the budget savvy. I would not recommend for anyone needing assistance to climb stairs.
Walkability: Close to restaurants, bars, shops, and the transit center

This place is old with character. We loved staying here in the heart of downtown. There is no elevator and few amenities. Some of the rooms don't have private bathrooms. But it's clean and the folks that run it are great.
