Location, good vibes, cafe that also serves good food on the premise, very clean, very welcoming. This was my third stay in the hostel and it’s my to-go place when in Portland.

Loved our stay. Welcoming, clean, quiet, no crazy guests, cheap parking for 3 days, everything we needed was there. Easy leafy neighborhood location just off the highway and once parked we walked everywhere. Best bagels I’ve had in ages, great coffee, tea, food, live music, walking tours, close to everything we wanted to see. Bathroom was shared but spotless, with lots of hot water, no lineups in our guest house. They deserve their place in the best of the best of hostels worldwide. Not your mamas noisy, drafty, messy hostel of decades ago.

Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Good location, close to supermarkets and nine minutes walking from the tram stations. Great atmosphere. Wifi works well. Hostel was usually very clean. The restaurant/café inside the hostel is very good. Complimentary breakfast was simple but perfect. They even offer oat milk!

Mattress was uncomfortable, very soft and with a certain air mattress vibe. The bunk bed is super squeaky, I was on the top one and if you move your toe you wake the entire room. I had to do some laundry and the dryer doesn’t work - it somehow leaves your clothes wetter than before. They leave a small desk with a chair in the hallway of the dorms and some unfortunate person had the idea of ​​using it twice in a row at five in the morning to make a video call for an hour. I believe he woke up the entire floor.

Location, staff, breakfast, nightly events. I stayed in this hotel for 7 nights and at first night there was a noise in my room, which is not the hotels fault but fault of the visitors and after I informed reception next morning, they changed my room immediately and issue is easily resolved. Rest of the nights were very nice, without any noise. And at last night of my stay there was a free wine tasting event which was a nice surprise and at that event Liesel was very kind and professional and it was really a big pleasure to talk with her.

Very spacious, clean, has a lot of free hostel social activities, warm and friendly vibe. Free breakfast (bagel) with a choice of drink— Smiths tea is so great I went to go buy a box at the store & so is the coffee! They also have oj. $5 parking per day if you have a car (free on Sundays and federal holidays). Ample kitchen space and food storage. Check out their event calendar online to help plan out your trip with discovering local events and such! I’ve met a lot of other women traveling from around the country/world in the dorms so that was cool :)

My only wish is that they had curtains but it isn’t too bad!

I love this hostel. It has a home-feel about it, and the buildings and rooms have so much character. The staff are very accommodating and I love that breakfast is provided. My favourite room would have to be the common space right by the cafe. The location is pretty good as well, it is in a safe area, with restaurants and cafes nearby & is a 20 min walk from the heart of the city.

The walls are thin so if your room is right by a hallway/ entrance, it might be noisy. Beds in dorm rooms have no curtains.

Excellent location for proximity to local attractions and also public transportation, if visitors want to go further afield or even get out of the city. Cafe is amazing. Entertainment and activities provide welcome diversion, especially on winter evenings when the weather might make you want to stay inside.

Like all of downtown Portland vehicle parking is limited but that’s easily resolved by using the excellent local transit options or simply walking to nearby attractions. The TV in the hostel commons regularly projects a convenient list of restaurants, attractions and diversions within easy walking distance.

The rooms were clean, the locker is a decent size, lock, bedsheets and towels were provided at no extra cost. The breakfast is simple, as mentioned in the description, but great to start of the day. The coffee shop has extra options to add on if you need to. The bagels they offer are not vegan but they did have two options of toast for me. Kitchen was also clean. Fridge was organized with labels.

The Wi-Fi was not working in one of my nights there. Just as a suggestion, they could provide also a individual small towel (face towel) since there's no paper towel at the bathrooms.

Free morning cup of coffee & bagel! Clean, super friendly staff, comfortable- it's not a situation where you race through the lobby because it's awkward and gross. Love the unique layout of the hostel, interconnected backyards. Common areas are well lit and easy to access at all hours of the day, quiet times are reasonable. Easy to talk to staff about stuff, they're helpful in general for Portland info and we love the intro tour when we checked in!! The buildings and hostel common areas felt private to guests and secure. Our room had a dresser and cabinet for personal storage and a cute little writing desk! Key card access was super easy to use.

This place has a little bit of quirky personality and is super charming all around, so it's difficult to say "I didn't like" any particular part. It's not the fanciest accomodation in terms of sparkley fixtures, sheik aesthetics, or brand new furniture, but the welcoming atmosphere and genuinely thoughtful organization of the hostel makes up for anything someone could find to complain about.

Great hostel/hotel in a complex of old, Portland houses. Fairly simply furnished, but everything one needs is there. The many outdoor spaces, snuggled between the houses are really nice and the cafe is good, too. Simple, but good breakfast is included and on the evening I arrived they had an "open mic" evening in the courtyard with local artists and anyone who wanted to contribute to the musical evening. The staff is super friendly and the location is great, too. Within walking distance of 23rd Ave. to the west with bars, restaurants, cafes and just across the freeway (easy to cross via street/bridge) from the Pearl District / Old Town.
