Check in was super easy. Staff was very friendly and great about explaining the noise from the bar is loud especially in certain rooms so we were able to get a room that wouldn't be as exposed to the noise. The location is fantastic and great to walk around.

Old, but adequate for location and price.

This place is a classic. Like alot of Alaska, it is funky. The location is right in the middle of town, which makes it central to all things Juneau. Colse to all the great bars and places to eat. We just spent one night, which was fine.

This hotel is over 100 years old but it's well maintained with a very helpful staff. There are antiques throughout to add charm. Rooms are approximately furnished to match the overall decor. Bed was comfortable as was the room temp. Be aware there are 43 steps to the 3rd floor and no elevator. It's a hotel and bar and the bar's not soundproof, if that might be a concern. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Can't beat the location.

As you would expect from an old antique hotel and this is part of the charm, squeaky floors and all. Embrace the step back in time to when accommodations were simple and effective. The Alaskan Hotel and Bar lacks nothing but; Not for the soft easily upset, be patient, wait and take your time. :0)

Ok if you are considering coming to this property please be advised that it is a two star hotel at best. The property is a bit rundown, the rooms are rudimentary but I did have a fridge. The bathrooms and showers are in the hall. The bedding is adequate but not luxurious. In other words this is not a fixed up boutique hotel. It is though in the heart of tourist Juneau, it was clean, it was secure and the staff was helpful and courteous. One word of warning. I checked in on a Saturday and the sign said that if you were checking in during the evening you were to go to the Alaska Bar. However Saturday was karaoke, the bar was packed and I have no idea how easily you would check into your room if you came in late.

Great stay and reasonably priced compared to other more modern options. I happen to really enjoy stays in historic hotels, and the Alaskan is a great example. The only thing that went wrong was the outlet above the sink. Tried to plug in my phone charger and there was a short in the socket that tripped the breaker and I did not have any lights in the room. Could not find the breaker or fuse panels in the hallway so I think all the rooms at the end of my hallway might have lost power. No worries though, still all good.

I specifically requested a quiet room away from noise of bar because I’m a light sleeper. We were put in room 217 which is directly above the bar. Bar open til 2 am, and our bed was vibrating from the loud music. Bars don’t work in a hotel. Process more affordable but wouldn’t stay again.

Character hotel in good location. It’s around 100 years old but a few improvements here and there would make a big difference. Ancient cracked hand basins could be replaced, bathroom fans could be replaced to reduce the horrendous noise, the beds shouldn’t swoop in the middle or have sheets which are too small. There is no elevator so be aware that the stairs are steep and there are a lot of them. Whatever you do, don’t accept room 322 or you’ll be subjected to music from the bar, competing music from across the street as well as the shouts and noise from the drunks and addicts on the footpath. Having said all that, other people didn’t seem to mind how decrepit the place was and we found the young staff very helpful.

Lots of history. Room was good, staff was helpful.

This is a very old hotel. That was interesting to see an hotel from 1913, but the oldness comes with a few catches. First their is no elevator and the stairs are very steep to climb, which we had to climb three flights of stairs. And second there is not hotel front desk person after 4pm. You have to go to the bar and ask a bartender to let you in your room or for any other services. The price for Juneau is cheap, just recognize it as an old hotel, but the room was fine

Great relatively inexpensive hotel in downtown Juneau. Fun place to stay for couples and solo adults. Great character and a good place to crash for the night in Juneau if you don’t mind a bit of noise from the bar.

First off, I’m not one to complain and stay at cheap hotels all over the country. Old carpet, shared bathrooms, even bugs whatever… I’ve been known to tolerate some pretty lousy conditions on the road working. To start off, I actually like the old vibe of the hotel and the atmosphere… the bar and bartenders are fantastic and even the locals like hanging out here and there’s even live music. The big deal breaker for me though was NOT HAVING A LOCK that worked on the door of my room. I told the staff when I realized it wasn’t locking and they told me there were no other rooms and they would get it fixed. I stayed there four days and they never bothered to even bother to apologize or update me. The lock was never addressed and I had to prop a chair up against the door every night sleeping. It’s a real tragedy this place isn’t managed better because with a few basic needs addressed it would be a nice place. FIX YOUR LOCKS OTHERWISE DONT RENT THE ROOM! Also get a real front desk, those poor people running the bar have enough responsibility and shouldn’t have to cover for the lack of staffing at the hotel

Convenient downtown location and good value.

I slept well, despite a very poor mattress. This hotel is right over the bar, and was quite noisy. I had earbuds that helped.

This place is a very affordable option in the heart of downtown, but the issue is that it can be EXTREMELY noisy due to loud music from the bar downstairs LATE into the night. The problem is that the music somehow resonates and amplifies through the walls, producing headache inducing bassy noise, often up to 1 am. This makes some rooms (the ones prone to this noise) essentially unsuitable for habitation. If you're lucky enough to get a room where you can't hear the noise, then the hotel interiors are charming and quaint.

Leaving Cob webs and mold is not keeping authenticity of hotel. It was dirty, needed polished, and maintained. The bar was fun and nostalgic, but also needed work. Only place I visited in Juneau that I didn't feel safe.

Mattress was soft and lumpy in a bed that had bowls around its legs, possibly to deter bugs. It was terribly warm in late morning and couldn’t control the temperature or open a window. Also, there were no drinking glasses in the room. We climbed up 3 flights of stairs with our luggage. Not for mess a 70 year old! Location in downtown Juneau was good.
