There are 3 hotels in Barrow, AK. Monica Felland, the manager of Top of the World, was the only hotel to respond to me AND they are the only hotel with a view of the Arctic Ocean right outside my hotel window! If you are going to Barrow, you must splurge and get the Arctic Ocean view. The hotel was... More

This is a historic old place and could be cleaner. Not as much care taken to keep it up as expected with the price, but then the options are limited. If you want clean, go to King Eider. If you want a good location and rich history with a little grunge, Top of the World. Wear your socks at all... More

This is THE place to stay if you visit Barrow. The Tundra Tour was operated almost from the hotel lobby. Our bus driver was so friendly, he asked whether we wanted to try whale meat. We said yes, but heard it was only distributed among locals. 10 minutes later, we found our bus parked in front of alocal's house, and... More

Nothing special or unique or memorable about the hotel -- good enough, probably the nicest place in town, and for one night while we visited Barrow it got the job done. Essentially everything is within walking distance and the hotel is directly across the street from the Arctic Ocean so it's got that going for it. But this town is... More

Spent a single night here in corner upstairs room (250). Room small but was clean and had all facilities plus two windows to view the ocean and along the street. In the evening we were watching TV (after dinner in Pepe's (another story) and no bars to go to) and saw a whale just off the beach - great sight... More

I and my nine-year-old son traveled to Barrow and spent the 4th of July night here. Pros: i) Right beside the Pepe's restaurant. ii) On the Arctic Ocean (or, Chukchi Sea). iii) Wells Fargo ATM is a few yards aways (the early morning tour takes only cash). Cons: i) I had a "ocean view" room reserved and, on check-in, was... More

Excellent stay! I want to start off by saying how clean the rooms are. I wish every hotel had this work ethic and dedication. Beautiful view of the ocean and a very friendly staff makes this place a must. I spent several weeks here on business and will definitely return to this hotel. I felt welcome from the moment i... More
