Sven'S Basecamp Hostel - Fairbanks

great access to parks and must-see attractions

I loved being just a short stroll away from Pioneer Park and the Tanana Valley Railroad Museum. The friendly vibe from the staff also, perfect for winding down after a day of sightseeing!

Cozy tent setup with great wifi, but the paid showers were an inconvenience.

A Cozy Stay with Room for Improvement

We enjoyed a two-night getaway in a Budget Double Room. Though the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the shortage of bathrooms was a challenge, especially during peak hours. Make sure to arrive early for the shared spaces! A nice place with potential.

I stayed in a Budget Double Room for one night. The staff were very cute and provided useful area information. The room was comfortable. I couldn't try the coffee shop, but it smelled great! A good experience 😊

We loved the cozy treehouse and the lovely sleeping bag experience! The communal kitchen was perfect for late-night snacks, and the atmosphere was so welcoming. I’d definitely stay again!

I loved the charming outdoor setup, which was like a good rustic retreat. The cozy common areas were inviting, and the large kitchen was perfect for gatherings.

Warmer bathrooms would enhance comfort for seniors.

Would recommend for a weekend excursion

Cozy room, efficient amenities, the free Wi-Fi in public areas and shared kitchen made our stay comfortable and convenient for our family with children.

I kinda froze all night though.

Staying at Sven's Basecamp was a good experience! And our Budget Double Room wasvery comfy and tidy. Limited restroom facilities created some inconvenience. A fine choice for a nice stay in Fairbanks.

great setup but noisy bunkmates

The hostel features a unique layout that fosters community. The garden view adds a calming touch to the overall atmosphere, quite enjoyable.

But I faced some discomfort due to disruptive noises from other guests.

Family with children great stay!

Sven and his team, offering extra blankets which was a lifesaver. The shared kitchen was a godsend, we had the chance to cook together and share stories with travelers from different parts of the world.

It wasn't exactly cheap, but considering the experience, we found it acceptable.

The budget double room offers a comfy space, ideal for travelers on a budget. The location is tucked away in nature, perfect for those wanting a rustic experience close to the outdoors.

The bathroom situation is a nightmare, with only two toilets available for a hostel that can fill up with 40 people. One bathroom has been out of order for a long time, which just doesn't work for the number of guests. If you're expecting a cozy cabin experience, be prepared to find some cabins are located in less appealing areas, surrounded by lumber and other materials.

loved the cozy cabins, well-equipped kitchen, and friendly staff. Felt like a camp in the woods, but close to town. Met interesting travelers with great stories. Highly recommend for a break in Fairbanks. exceeded expectations during this relaxing holiday.

Uncomfortable bed.

I recently stayed at Sven's Basecamp for 3 nights and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cabin I stayed in was nicely heated, ensuring I stayed cozy during my stay. The overall cleanliness of the amenities was impressive, and there was always freshly made coffee and homemade cookies available. I couldn't ask for more at this price!

Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

We had a fantastic stay at Sven's Basecamp. The staff were really nice too help us when we got locked out of our cabin late at night. They were friendly and accommodating throughout our stay.
