I stayed at the Lead Dog for a few nights and I loved my experience! The managers are really friendly and do everything to make your stay as best as possible. I understand that it is hard to accomodate all the travellers in a small place but they make it happen and you get to meet nice people from everywhere... More

I really like this place becouse the owner manage very well and I can make friends who come around countries. In addition,people are very kind and friendly. It's like a family. Recently some crazy guy stayed here but it's clear! No problem! He went out today.

Disastrous place that is more like a halfway house for jail releases. The manager was drinking late with friends who aren't even guests and creating terrible noise. Absolute joke. Considering the 10pm noise curfew. My girl friend got felt up by some crazy Russian guy whilst trying to go to the bathroom. Walls are paper thin. 1 bathroom for 20+... More

At the first glance of small dorm room and long lists of weird rules, our impression was "In tent it was better!" But our mind changed quickly as we found out that the kitchen is big and well equipped (baked dozens of muffins and cookies there!), Internet access is reasonably fast, there is enough space in dining room and front...

The Lead Dog is definitely not the hostel you're looking for when you're traveling and want stay in a warm, friendly, welcoming place. This hostel is super restrictive, unwelcoming (unless you there for a long time and about to spend a lot of money of rent) and promote a negative vision of the life in Whitehorse. Unfortunately, as there is... More

My husband and I have been staying at Lead Dog whenever we are in Whitehorse throughout the past 2 years, in every season, sometimes together, and sometimes separately and we have both always had good experiences. The place is clean, the atmosphere is friendly and the location is convenient for anything you need to do in Whitehorse. Furthermore, Marie-Pierre (the... More

It was a 4 day stay that quickly evolved into much more as the owner almost immediatly offered me the position of house manager responsible for intake of clients, housekeeping, over all general maintence of the house. When it came time to pay me I was informed that given I lived on the property, 900.00 in rent was due, this... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Lead Dog when I was unexpectedly required to be in Whitehorse on an emergency over a number of days in mid July. I was able to arrange a private room at the last minute which was clean and quiet (they even lent me a towel which I had neglected to bring). The... More

We stayed there for a total of three nights. It was loud (not the location, the people), there were 20 people and only two showers (10:1 ratio is not a good one), and it's generally very crowded. The location is good, but that's the most positive thing we can say.
