Northwest Portland Hostel

Experience a family-owned hostel in Portland’s vibrant Northwest District. Our well-traveled staff is happy to share local tips, favorite restaurants, and recommendations for exploring the city. We’re located near downtown attractions, Washington Park, the Rose and Japanese Gardens, and nearby hiking trails.

Guests are welcome to join daily events such as walking tours, beer and wine tastings, live music, and trivia nights. For over 25 years, our mission has been to provide a welcoming, affordable, and safe place that connects Portland with travelers from around the world while supporting the local community.

Since opening, we’ve grown from a 36-bed hostel into a village of six historic buildings, many dating back to the late 1800s. Today, we offer private rooms, dorm beds, an apartment, and a dedicated Group Lodging Building. Our Hostel Café, completed in 2017, is a guest favorite and community gathering space.

We were voted the #1 Hostel in the USA by Hostelworld in 2025 and named the 3rd Best Medium-Sized Hostel in the World by Hostelworld in 2020.
