I've lived in Portland for 12 years, and now when I visit (having tried a dozen hotels here) this is the only place I'll stay. It's comfortable, has an old-world charm, and the staff is terrific.

A Posh Hostel Experience
I hadn't stayed in a multi-bed dormitory in decades. But this was nice! Very quiet, with climate control, black-out curtains, and privacy curtains for each bed. Drinking water, towels, and even earplugs were provided in the room. My bunk bed was SOOOOO comfy! And each bed has an enormous drawer into which you can put your stuff. You can rent a lock for the drawer for $4. The bathrooms (three on my floor) were always clean, and somehow always open (I never had to wait). Nice showers, with shampoo & body wash provided. Right outside the four-bunk room where I stayed was a nice little lounge area where I could sit in a cushy chair and work on my laptop (while charging it). The restaurant/bar area is classy and obviously popular, but I didn't hang out there much.

Overall good stay for a weekend in Portland, Pretty noisy, “deluxe queen room” with its own bathroom was directly located beside shared one. Nightly interruptions. Small room, showering set off fire alarm in room. Booked late check out (2pm) during check-in. Still got a call from reception at 11am asking why I haven’t left the room yet - mediocre experience.

Really cool vibe and very spacious for a hostel. The elevator broke while I was there, but the stairs weren't too bad and they had it fixed the same day - very repsonsive and helpful staff! And the restaurant in the lobby was awesome!

Stayed last week of Sept. 2024. Stayed in the 4-bunk room with rotating roommates for 8 days. Very simple "dorm room" style living but can't beat the price for downtown Portland. Bathroom/showers are shared so bring shower flip-flops if your room doesn't have a shower. My bed was hard as a rock, but it was fine for the price. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is PERFECT. There is a small, safe, 24-hour access parking lot only about 200ft away that costs $15-$17 for 24-hour overnight parking. That is about the best 24-hour overnight parking rate you will find in Portland. The Portland Streetcar runs down MLK Blvd directly past the KEX.
