HI - Portland - Northwest Reviews

Nice hostel to stay at....friendly staff

Very friendly and helpful staff! I was there for several nights by myself and felt very safe the whole time. I had a very large suitcase and it could fit in the locker in the room along with my backpack. Very good location, walking distance to downtown and there's a good coffee shop right across the street. Nice little kitchen where you can make dinner or hang out. I would definitely stay there again.

Everyone is really nice, however they gave me the wrong check out date which really messed up my plans.

very helpful staff easy walking distance to many shops...

I was so nervous about staying in a hostel for the first time, especially since I was traveling alone. As soon as I walked into HI Northwest in Portland, I was relieved. The facilities and grounds were just as they looked in the pictures, and the staff was very helpful. I found HI Northwest to be safe, clean, and very convenietly located. I can't wait to stay in my next hostel!!!

Staff was knowledgeable about the area. Clean and safe environment.

All in all a solid hostel. Clean, comfortable and walking distance to some good drinking spots and shopping. The staff were quite friendly and helpful and overall it was a pretty good experience

great stay...person at desk when we arrived was not too friendly, but it only got better from there. also, a bit strange for older people (30+) to be staying in a youth hostel, but it was still a welcoming place!

Thanks very much. My first time in a hostel and very pleasantly surprised.

A good hostel for the value. Dorm rooms leave little privacy. Location is good.

Hostel looks like a big house, very clean, very spacious. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The kitchen is big with a nice area to sit or hang out and free bread from Ken's Artisan bakery, which I subsequently visited and fell in love with. It's in a good area, too, easy to get to most places on foot. Definitely would stay here again on my next visit to Portland.

Great location but was felt rather cheated as a lot of of the 18-25 yr olds felt that we were forced to stay in the neighbouring less desirable lodging that was damp, smelly and overcrowded.

Beautiful old converted house and annex give a lot of character to the hostel. Rooms are a good size even when fully occupied, and its a ten minute walk to the Amtrak and Greyhound Stations. Very clean, good facilities, and friendly and helpful staff. Although the pretty girl who checked me in would be even better looking if she smiled a bit more.

All in all a very good hostel.

Really helpful information plastered on the walls. There were so many great ideas and suggestions posted for everyone to see. This is how we found the Mission Theater.

Just a really nice place to stay, cheap, friendly and with everything you need. A very short walk to Portland Downtown makes it an ideal location.

Very clean, comfortable hostel with great staff and great people.

cool hostel but not very vibrant in off peak. Walking tour was fun and good for all ages not just a youth hostel.

Helper explaining the city really didn't know his stuff too well at all. Otherwise, no complaints.

The room I was in was cold and there was no atmosphere in the hostel. The shower was nice! Hot water!!
