Stayed two nights in early June. Got a room with a queen bed and on-site washroom. The room is small but cozy, and along with the bed/nightstands, same with a desk+chair, mini-fridge, coffee maker and TV with cable. Washroom was a decent size and the shower (no tub) came with a built-in seat, which would be great for folks who might have trouble with standing/slipping. Free bottled water and coffee was also available in the lobby. WiFi is pretty solid. Person at the front desk was friendly and helpful (I had forgotten to bring an SD card and he pointed me to a few places I could get one late on a Sunday afternoon). There was a small leak in our room's ceiling on Day 2 and he offered to move us, but we decided not to since we'd be leaving the next day.
The location is great and right in the heart of downtown Dawson, with all the big attractions (ex. Gertie's, Parks Canada visitor centre, bars, restaurants, the river) just steps away. Parking is also available right behind the building.
Only issue would be that soundproofing isn't very well done, which would otherwise be fine except that our stay appeared to overlap with a construction crew's. Our room was on the first floor and they were on the second - you could clearly hear them walking around, talking, singing, etc. early in the morning before they left and late at night when...
Read moreRelatively inexpensive rooms ($95/night + taxes) for a night in Dawson City.
I had issues booking online, so emailed The Bunkhouse and got a response that morning and they booked me through their system. Apparently there's a large baseball tournament the last weekend in August and everywhere was booked.
Ueli was very helpful and remembered my name when I walked in to check in. Very professional customer service.
The rooms are basic but clean with very comfortable comforters and a nice space heater as this fall weather drops temperatures low at night.
I'm a deep sleeper, so noise doesn't really bother me at night, but I could see how the noise from people walking outside could be bothersome to some people.
Although the bathrooms are detached, the showers and toilets are very clean.
It is a great location that is walking distance to most/all touristy things in Dawson City.
I would recommend them to others coming visit.
Side note unrelated to The Bunkhouse, give yourself ample time when using the ferry to get across the Yukon. I waited for 50 minutes when getting into town. It seems to fit only 4-6 vehicles at a time. And, check out the Saturday farmer's market at 11am-5pm, right across from...
Read moreMy experience with this hotel was extremely disappointing! I was really looking forward to staying at this location, but unfortunately due to changes in my itinerary I was unable to stay. I called a week prior to my stay and spoke with Manager, he was helpful and said that he would cancel my reservation fee free. I was delighted by the service I had received. UNTIL... I get a charge on my credit card for my stay. I called the hotel and they directed me to call Expedia, when I called Expedia they informed me that the hotel was denying the fact that I called... they said because there is no confirmation number that they could not assist me. I WAS APPALLED at the HORRIBLE customer service... to accuse a customer... I was insulted and do not recommend ANYONE to book at this location... I even had screen shots of the call history... yet the hotel still continued to deny the fact that I called. I even spoke to the same manager I spoke with! DO NOT STAY HERE, they are not accommodating in anyway. Extremely DISAPPOINTING...
