Perfect location! I loved having access to the garden and my room during the day. It was super quiet at night, even for this early bird.
The bunks squeak more than my grandma's old rocking chair. If you enjoy midnight showers, good luck with that!

An Exceptional Stay in Portland!
I had an incredible time here for 4 nights! The cozy kitchen allowed me to meet fellow travelers over breakfast, and the vibrant downtown buzz is just a few steps away. Be ready for a workout with the stairs, but you'll love the warm atmosphere!

The check-in was super smooth and I really enjoyed the clean private bathroom in my dorm. I liked hanging out in the cozy leisure room and taking some time in the beautiful garden area. It would have been nice to have a light breakfast option, but overall, I had a great stay! 😊

clean facilities but small room
The location was prime, allowing me to walk to many attractions. The staff were exceptionally friendly, which made check-in a breeze.
The room I stayed in felt a bit cramped for my needs.

The hostel has an eclectic charm, and the decor is fantastic! Cleanliness is a definite plus, and the staff is friendly overall. However, the late-night parking situation was tricky and check-in could have been friendlier, which did dampen the experience a bit.

I had an amazing stay, especially loving the cozy decor and spotless facilities. The communal kitchen was so well stocked, and I enjoyed relaxing in the beautifully curated lounge area. I’d definitely stay here again!

Stairs can be a hassle, especially after a long day out. In the Bunk Bed in Female Dormitory Room, tight quarters struggle to accommodate six guests comfortably, turning sleep into a challenge. A single bathroom for six leads to long waits, particularly with some guests hogging the shower.
