This is one of the cleanest and friendliest Hostels I have stayed in. It was also pretty quiet (Rare for a downtown hostel.) The bathrooms and dorm rooms were very clean. There is a nice kitchen area to make your own food, also very clean. I have been in some NIGHTMARE hostels and this is definitely a shining example of... More

Yes, this was one of the prettiest and cleanest hostels I have been, having had a membership and traveled the world in them. But beware, they rip you off! The hostel guide had them at $30, we were going to stay there before when I checked it out so I had cut and pasted that info. Indeed, some reviews mention... More

I stayed here for 4 nights in a 4 bed male dorm. I had an overall pleasant stay with no major complaints. The dorm was clean, quiet and comfortable. I was assigned a top bunk bed which is smaller than the bottom beds and a little small for my height. There were plenty of showers and restrooms- I never had... More

This is quieter than the Hawthorne Hostel in Portland, even though it is very close to the freeway and a main road. It's on the corner of 2 one way roads, so that cut the traffic in half compared to the heavy traffic on Hawthorne and the freeway noise is blocked by a couple of blocks of solid buildings. I... More

I only stayed one night here, had I stayed longer I might have met more people and had a more enjoyable time. The staff were very helpful at pointing out the tourist activities and there was a "free" (you just pay for public transport) walk to the park overlooking portland, which was pretty good.

I stayed for just one night in a private room. It was clean and quiet, though spartan. Bathrooms - same thing. I found it a convenient place to stay, safe neighborhood, parking available, a decent price. Nothing fancy but a very solid place to stay. Staff was not unfriendly but weren't very outgoing.

The location was good and the staff were really friendly but that's about where it's good points end. I was given a room in basement which I found to be cold and when I put my boots on the morning they felt like they were damp. No one spoke to anyone else so it was hard as a solo traveller... More

It's an oversized hostel where nobody really chats with anyone. The front desk morning crew is friendly, however 50% of the afternoon team leaves a lot to be desired. No smile, no friendliness, and an absolute lack of interest in the fact that the dorm room is cold and has no heat. (According to her, the heat comes through the... More

This is one of the best hostels in the US! The staff is so helpful and informative. The location is nice, quiet, safe and just a jaunt to some great places. Its a short ways over the bridge from Amtrak. I loved the area and people so much I wanted to move there!
