Great community hostel, will be...

Liked: Friendly staff and a cool environment. If you're a solo traveler or staying for a while, this hostel seems to have a great community. Amenities like nightly "events" and sauna are nice too.
Disliked: Check in took a little while, but I assume that's mostly from the staff being new (staff at hostels rotate often)

Good

Super central and friendly hostel,...

Liked: It was a very welcoming and friendly place. The kitchen is very well equipped and there's a lot of common hangout areas. They had free live music on Friday night which was very fun!
Disliked: The heating was WAY too hot. Even after asking if it could be turned down, we had to keep the windows open AND the fan on the whole time, which seemed a bit ridiculous.

Sociable Hostel in beautiful historical...

Liked: Very comfortable bed, clean bathrooms, and robust facilties. Very accommodating place to stay while traveling for work, having most of the amenities of being home, i.e., kitchen, workspace, etc. The staff is very friendly. A very sociable environment all around, with awesome foot trucks and community events onsite. It is a really amazing institution and historical site very close to downtown Bend.

Very poor

Liked: This place was filthy and unsanitary. I felt like I was back inside a frat house. A pot of chili left out on the stove for 24+ hours, dirty dishes everywhere, trash scattered about inside. Not insulated at all and you can hear everything outside and inside. The staff was indifferent and not helpful- I asked the guy for 2 hangers (my closet had none) and never saw him or the hangers again. I asked someone else for a towel and she told me “there’s some in the (shared) bathroom. If it’s folded that should mean it’s probably clean”- EW. Same with blankets- asked for a blanket and was told to “there’s some in the community living room or you grab whatever I see lying around”Very unsanitary. The fridge was packed to the brim despite not many people staying there and clearly hasn’t been cleaned out in a long time. The one good thing was the bed was comfy.

Very good

Liked: The crew was the best! A lot of different young people, very kind and always happy to help. Every night there was a different event, I went to open mic night and saw bunch of amazing performers.They also cook lunch every day and you are free to eat.Wifi was perfect, as well as the location of the hostel.
Disliked: The only bad thing was that none of the rooms have bathrooms, and on the whole floor with 5 rooms there was only one bathroom, with one toilet and a shower. If it was occupied, there was one upstairs, and three showers in another building, which is not very practical.

Stay here if you want...

Liked: Good location, quirky, fun with music in outdoor beer garden
Disliked: Either no staff at night or they were participating in the all night indoor partying with screaming, loud music, people whi weren’t guests there included. Unbelievable, unable to sleep at all until ended at 330 am. Horrible experience.

With numerous renovations this could...

Liked: Location
Disliked: The room was tight and stuffy with VERY old carpeting. The expense and pictures did not match the reality of the property.

Exceptional
