Nicest hostel in the area and nice owners. Very cheap compared to a hotel and same commodities as a hotel.

My third time to overnight at the Jana House in eight years. This Hostel is a great place for individuals or groups. I have overnighted twice with my family and had a great and safe experience. They have family rooms with multiple beds or singles in dorm style. One overnight was my brother and I had a private room with two full size beds. You just can not beat the cost and cleanliness of this place. They have wireless internet, dishTV and a very nice kitchen to cook your fresh salmon. BBQ outback, next to the RV spots. This will be my go to place when fishing around the Kenai River area! read more

This was one of the best hostels I stayed at due to the hospitality and openness of the workers, their neighbor, and guests. I felt completely comfortable there, and it is a peaceful town. The guidebook I brought with to AK said it was a rundown town. I didn't pick that vibe up at all. The workers at Jana House would give you the shirt off their back and loved to give away fresh red salmon. Yes, I'm talking the best in the world. I received fresh red salmon and had to turn some away since I had no cooler with which to keep them cool. I ended up stopping back on my way back from Homer, and one of the workers gave me more. God bless Jane and everyone else there. I hope to return someday. I love Alaska. This added to my memories significantly. read more

Very nice hostel. We stopped in Anchorage to stay at a hostel there. It was a hippie dump so we left after looking it over and stumbled into the Jana and what a night and very bright day difference between the two places. Best hostel we ever stayed in.... read more
