Excellent customer service by the catering staff. Drinks were excellent in the bar/restaurant. I loved the bedding and pillows. I appreciated that earplugs were included in my room, due to the noise level on the street side of the building. Service was a little slow in the dining room, but it wouldn't deter me from going again.

Location was great, easy to get anywhere. Room was very clean and comfy. Would stay here again. It was little confusing to find an elevator to get to our room since it was on the other side of the building but then it was easy to get around.

It’s wonderful to know that you would stay with us again! We also appreciate your feedback regarding our elevators.

Great location, friendly staff and comfortable rooms. The hotel is situated at least half a block long so depending where your room is located you may walk a bit to get there. The breakfast was fantastic especially the rain deer sausage. Will definitely stay again.

Dear 800mayumiw, Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location, friendly team, and comfortable accommodations. We’re especially glad you enjoyed breakfast and, of course, the reindeer sausage! It’s always a favorite for guests looking to get a taste of Alaska. We also appreciate your note about the size and layout of our historic property. The Wildbirch is certainly a unique building, and some rooms do require a bit more walking to reach. Thank you again for staying with us and for your kind recommendation. We’re delighted to hear you plan to return, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the Wildbirch on your next visit to Anchorage! Best Wishes, Kameron Knight Assistant General Manager Wildbirch Hotel Anchorage
Someone unlocked and entered our room at 10 PM while we were inside. They opened the door, walked in, realized the room was occupied, and immediately left. This was completely unacceptable and made me feel extremely unsafe for the rest of the night. Unfortunately, this was just the worst part of a terrible experience. I initially arrived at 11 PM on the wrong date due to my own booking mistake, which I fully acknowledge. However, a front desk employee told me they had a room available, only for her manager to step in, say there wasn’t one, and basically dismiss us and leave us to figure things out late at night. Once we checked in the following day, things didn’t improve. After returning from a tour at 5:30 AM, the hotel called our room TWO times at 7 AM for a non-urgent question about switching rooms. Later, after being out for over eight hours, we returned to find our room had not been serviced at all: unmade beds, full trash cans, and wet towels still there. For the price of this hotel, the service was incredibly disappointing, but having someone actually unlock and enter our occupied room crossed a completely different line. Thankfully, we were leaving the next day because I did not feel safe staying there another night.
If you are visiting Anchorage...do yourself a big favor and stay at Wild Birch!!! EVERYTHING about this hotel was 11/10 in my book. For the price we paid, and based on our previous experiences with hotels in Anchorage, our expectations were extremely surpassed. The restaraunt and bar in the hotel was also better than any other bar or restaurant in the area.

Dear Lreeder319, Thank you so much for this incredible 5/5 review! Hearing that The Wildbirch exceeded your expectations by such a wide margin truly means the world to our team. An “11/10” is quite the compliment, and we’re thrilled to know we made such a strong impression! We’re especially happy to hear that you enjoyed Crimson as well. Our team takes great pride in creating a restaurant and bar experience that feels like an important part of the stay rather than simply an amenity within the hotel. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with our Crimson team—they’ll be thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience. Thank you for choosing The Wildbirch and for making us your new favorite place to stay in Anchorage! We look forward to welcoming you back for many more visits.

Whilst this may be a recently refurbished hotel with nice modern rooms, I would not stay here again unless they soundproof the windows. The train horns blast from 4am every 30-60 mins, I challenge anyone to sleep through the noise even with earplugs in! It was not a restful 2 nights unfortunately.
Kameron Knight, General Manager at The Wildbirch Hotel - JdV by Hyatt, responded to this review
Dear JojoMmm, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry that the noise from the nearby railroad impacted your ability to sleep and ultimately your experience with us. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to be woken by train horns throughout the night, especially after traveling and simply wanting a restful stay. While our location near the Alaska Railroad is part of what makes The Wildbirch unique and convenient for exploring downtown Anchorage, we recognize that the associated train noise can be a significant concern for some guests. Your feedback regarding the windows and soundproofing is valuable, and we will certainly share it with our ownership and leadership teams as we continue evaluating opportunities to improve the guest experience. We’re disappointed that we were unable to provide the restful two-night stay you were hoping for. We sincerely appreciate your candid feedback and hope we may have the opportunity to provide you with a more comfortable experience in the future. Best Wishes, Kameron Knight kknight@wildbirchhotel.com Assistant General Manager Wildbirch Hotel Anchorage
Lovely boutique hotel within walking distance to many places; including breakfast spots, shops, and guided bus tours.

Dear Companion50492943525, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5/5 review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at The Wildbirch and appreciated our convenient downtown location. Being within walking distance of local restaurants, shops, and tour experiences makes it easy to explore all that Anchorage has to offer. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to welcome you back for another visit to Alaska!

Overall the hotel was fine, it is in need of some remodeling and updating forsure. The layout and location of elevators is quite goofy and inconvenient if bringing in lots of luggage, overall for the price, next time I'd opt to stay elsewhere.
Kameron Knight, General Manager at The Wildbirch Hotel - JdV by Hyatt, responded to this review
Dear Sydney B., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that your overall stay was fine, but we’re sorry that the condition and layout of the hotel did not fully meet your expectations. We understand your frustration with the elevator locations, particularly when traveling with multiple pieces of luggage. Our property does have a unique layout, and we recognize that navigating the hotel can be less convenient than a more traditional design. We also appreciate your comments regarding updates to the property. We are continually evaluating opportunities to improve the guest experience and make thoughtful enhancements to the hotel. We’re disappointed to hear that you would consider staying elsewhere on a future visit, but we sincerely appreciate your feedback as it helps us identify where we can do better. We hope you’ll consider giving The Wildbirch another opportunity in the future. Best Wishes, Kameron Knight kknight@wildbirchhotel.com Assistant General Manager Wildbirch Hotel Anchorage
