  • Lots of opportunities to either have a social evening, or have some solitude for yourself after traveling all day. I would definitely stay here again if I end up in Portland! 10/10

  • The Portland Hostel is the most welcoming, warm atmosphere. The fries are great, the burgers slap, open mic is sweet and memorable, but to me, the beating heart of this place is trivia night. The magnificent host Sunny is has brought so many people together on rainy nights and summer evenings just to enjoy the warm glow of togetherness. Thank you Portland Hostel! And thank you sunny !

  • “Yeah this place is magical. I wish we would’ve stayed another night or a few. I’ll definitely have to be back. It felt safe, the cafe was crazy good, there were so many cool nooks and crannies, and seemed like a good mid level social scene…”
