Billie's Backpackers Hostel

Billie's Backpackers Hostel (Alaskahostel.com) is Alaska's longest operating hostel. We are a family run Hostel - born and raised in Fairbanks. Billie's is a wonderfully warm, welcoming and accommodating place. The perfect place to begin your adventure in Interior Alaska.

Open YEAR-ROUND, Billie's is the perfect place to explore interior Alaska, view the northern lights or soak up the Midnight Sun.
Located in a quiet residential neighborhood within walking distance of the Main Campus of the University of Alaska, there are many local shops and eateries including the Tanana Valley Farmers Market, a pizzeria, ice cream shop and more.

ALL shared rooms are Co-Ed. Billie will make every effort to separate the sexes, HOWEVER during the busy months the arrangement may be CO-ED. All travelers share bathrooms and common areas like the kitchen, dining spaces and hostel grounds.
