Bunkhouse Hotel

The historical origin of the Bunkhouse Hotel in Dawson City, Yukon, dates to the Klondike Gold Rush era of the late 19th century. During this period, bunkhouses functioned as economical lodging options for miners arriving in the town, typically featuring large, open-concept interiors with rows of bunk beds designed to offer basic shelter and rest amid the demanding conditions of gold prospecting. In its modern iteration, the Dawson City Bunkhouse preserves this heritage while incorporating contemporary amenities for enhanced comfort. Established as a present-day hotel, it provides clean, affordable accommodations with features such as free Wi-Fi, cable television in select rooms, and shared or private bathrooms. Located at the corner of Front and Princess Streets, directly across from the Yukon River, the facility serves visitors seeking to immerse themselves in Dawson City's preserved gold rush history, with convenient access to local attractions, dining establishments, and recreational venues

The location is great the rooms are cute. Hot and clean showers. It is a little noisy, but I didn't mind it. A few spiders, didn't care. The sheets were not changed! That's not okay. I was a housekeeper in Texas for a few years and it was obvious they didn't change the sheets. There was other people's hair in the sheets. They fluff it up too look clean but here's a helpful tip for everyone: there's not supposed to be lint in the sheets if they've been changed. I'm solely giving a one star for the fact the don't clean their sheets here. It's an old building, they can't control creaky floors or the occasional spider but they could wash sheets. Dirty sheets carry all sorts of things from sweat to snot and lice to bedbugs. Pull the sheets back and do a check before sleeping in these sheets for your own good. For some reason they don't have hours on the website or on Google so I attached a picture of them.

Only issue we had was not being able to stay longer. We showed up on the busiest weekend andanaged to get the last room. Rooms are very clean, quiet and work perfectly for a stay in Dawson. If you are concerned about the shared bathroom, DON'T be. Very private rooms, with sinks, showers are also fantastic.

Last minute stay. The visitor center recommended staying at the Bunkhouse hotel. Very cute, simple rooms. We had the shared bathroom. All very clean, towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner provided. It was a little noisy the night we stayed because there was an event next door. I can't tell if it's like that every night? In town close to everything. Next time we'll ask for another pillow ;) the rest was perfect

Price-super fair pricing! Location-PERFECT! Parking-available onsite and free. Washrooms/showers-on each floor and communal. Very clean and well maintained. Room-basic but has everything you’ll need

I can't say enough good things about the bunkhouse. Chill staff, super clean and tidy and a really relaxing place to be. We stayed in a normal room two nights and the big room for one night. Lovely place!

This was the best value hotel I stayed at on my trip. I was impressed enough the first time that I stayed there again on my return trip from Tuk. You have to accept the concept, that you just get a room and share bathrooms, microwave, etc. However, they have the best mattress I slept on in Canada, they're clean, and their Wi-Fi stays up and works. They have a concept and they execute on it very well, the quality of the room and services is better than par. The only issue with the room is that the window was stuck on my first room and was sticky on the second room. You have to finagle with them. On the other hand, their power cube was great. You don't have to look for an outlet that's usually so old it won't hold your plug.

Prices in Dawson aren’t cheap. This is where the bunkhouse comes in if you are trying to travel on a budget. Shared clean toilets, shared showers. Wee rooms with bed, desk, fan. Lovely wrap around balcony. Around the back is a tiny little room with a fridge and microwave for guest use. A nice little touch is tasty free coffee in the morning in reception if you need a kick to start your day! Lovely young chilled staff. We do recommend figuring out how to keep your room cool. Close your blinds etc. we were in Dawson early August and it got put to 42 degrees centigrade. Ouch! Two showers a day temperatures.
