My go-to hostel in Portland!

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

Exceptional

Liked: everything was excellent

I recommend this place for...

Liked: 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.
Disliked: 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.

Had a great time

Liked: The events: beer tasting, music multiple times. There was also wine tasting and trivia that I did not participate in.The café had great selections of drink and food.Location: within 30 min walking of lots of SW/NW goodies
Disliked: trash in room could have been taken out sooner.

Good

Liked: Good hostel for a few nights, basic breakfast option included and good location, walking distance to downtown etc.

Loved everything from the hostel....

Liked: I liked everything. The staff. The location. It was really clean. The bathroom & shower. The little breakfast. Actually the day I left I realised the at least one of the owners was serving breakfast. That’s lovely. I would definitely go again if I go to Portland in the future.

Would definitely go back

Liked: Location, luggage storage before check in, abundance of washrooms for shared dorms.
Disliked: The bed was pretty sunken, even for a hostel dorm
