When I first arrived, I was a bit put off by the shabbiness of the place, but I soon grew very comfortable.  My bunk bed was comfy and the room was very quiet.  The backyard is huge and has plenty of chairs to relax and recline.  Though a small hostel, I met several interesting people. Cho, the owner, is extremely friendly and arrives immediately once you get there and call.  It's a short, 10-minute walk to downtown (not that there's much to see downtown 😊). I definitely recommend this place!

A homely little place, but super comfortable!!

Best hostel in the region. My goto place for a cheap, great location in an area perfect for visitors looking to see the town in a dormitory (a nice one, not some dirty home made bunk but an actual clean and comfortable room) filled with tourists, all very polite in a hospitable environment with lots to do if you’re looking for some unique experience and in the mood to meet new people, or for tourists in general looking to visit for an extended period at an affordable price!

Great budget place to stay in Fairbanks

Cho is a very nice, responsible guy.  He is doing a good job of running his business.  BUT, if he wants to maximize his profit by putting two sets of bunk beds in a standard sized bedroom, the beds need to be of sturdy quality and be isolated and secured.  I was on the top bunk and every time the person below me moved a muscle, the entire bunk bed moved.  Also, I stayed three days and there was NEVER a single moment when someone wasn’t asleep in the room meaning there was never a moment to organize or turn on the light.  Also, it needs tankless hot water.  It’s not fair to take money from that many people and not provide them with ample hot water.  I also don’t like that each person is responsible for doing their own dishes.  This means there is never a sink of hot water with dishes being scrubbed and rinsed thoroughly.  This needs to be done daily.  The dishes seemed unsanitary. 

Nice, honest owner + horrible bed = average rating

This hostel only ranks as average because it is not well managed and a bit crowded. But it has the features one wants and is centrally located on a major bus route. It also tends to gather an interesting crowd with an international flair. 

Good location, typical arrangement, remote management

Hostels..... You never know what to expect when you get there. From my experiences, the other guests who are staying at the place make or break your visit. I got lucky with my timing and stay at 9th Ave Hostel. The other people staying here were all amazing and I had a great time meeting everyone from around the world and exploring Fairbanks and the nearby area with them!

Cho, the owner was amazing as well! Very friendly and he created a nice atmosphere in the living room to interact with everyone. Kitchen had all the essential items to cook and make food. Refrigerator, microwave, utensils, etc..... Lots of pamphlets and information in the living room to do different activities.

I stayed downstairs in a mixed 4 bed 1 bath dorm style bedroom. Very spacious with 2 bunkbeds and a small closet area to put your bags and luggage. Bathroom inside the room was also convenient to shower and use the toilet.

Location is decent. I rented a car half the time i was there and everything was within range of driving. Place is in a somewhat residential area and there is parking throughout the street. I walked to the city center where the visitor center is and timed it at around 30-40 minutes one way. Very flat with no hills so it was a nice leisurely walk. Bowling alley is nearby to have a few rounds. It is right down the street.

Wifi was good with no issues.

Booked this place because it was one of the cheaper places to stay while i was visiting Fairbanks. 

Overall, for the price i paid, it was totally worth it to stay here! Once again, it all depends on how adventurous you and the other guests are!
