Sven’s Basecamp Hostel has officially opened on May 15th, 2020.

3 months ago, summer 2020 looked like just another summer in paradise and we were all gearing up for a successful season with our guests from all around the globe. Well, things slightly changed……….

The Corona virus has turned things upside down throughout the world and threw everybody a major curveball to their 2020 plans. What a crazy time!! We at Sven’s Hostel had to go back to our drawing board and come up with an action plan and how we are going to react and what procedures we had to implement to keep rolling with the Hostel. 

All I can say is that nothing puts Sven’s Basecamp Hostel to its knees. It won’t be our best summer for sure but we will open our doors to people who need to hang their hat for a night or two in our adventurous treehouses, our expedition wall tents or want to pitch a tent in our wooded corner of our property. 

Sven’s Hostel is the perfect place to social distance due to the generous layout of the property. If you are thinking about flying up here and quarantining, Sven’s Hostel has many units that you can rent to yourselves and stay put for a couple of weeks. Ask for the “Quarantine special”. We will offer you those units at a very lowered rate. 

Our staff will be busy disinfecting our most used traffic areas hourly and will clean everything even more detailed than we have done in the past. If you want to wear a mask here, go right ahead and do whatever feels most safe to you, if you do not want to wear a mask, we are very open minded to that as well. Sven’s Hostel lets our guests decide for themselves in whatever makes them feel the most comfortable while complying with most recent state and federal mandates. 

Even with Covid in our lives, Sven’s Hostel will be excited to meet you here and is looking forward to hostel Alaskans, Americans and everybody else who is able to make it up to the Golden Heart city this season. 

See you here, 

Sven and the gang (Mitja, Alex and Marina)
