Its hotel style BUT they also have private rooms you can book with it's own bathroom and super affordable. I didn't the private suite and it was perfect for the one night. The felt desk staff was super friendly both when I checked in and out, the room was clean, super comfy bed and overall loved my stay. The area this hotel is in is a bit sketchy but that's no fault of the hotel, just be aware when walking around especially at night.

I would recommend any other hotel unless you have no other options. The lobby is aesthetic but…read moreeverything else is below expectations. Location: next to a safe injection site and the entry way smelled like pee. You essentially have to step over people sleeping on the street. Rooms: the toilet had mold growing in it. The duvet cover was missing and the insert had sharpie on it. The sheets were dirty. The furnace will keep you up all night long. The pictures do not show how small the suite we booked was and the "upgraded view" was of a wall about two feet away. There is nowhere to put your stuff other than the ground. the patio: half was closed and what was there were just a few tables and chairs. The staff: friendly but cannot compensate for the state of the rooms. We survived one night with the worst sleep while still wearing earplugs. We abandoned the rest of our stay and are eating the cost even though we did ask for a refund. We asked both the front desk and were instructed to email the generic line. We have not gotten a response.

I loved my stay here at the NW Portland hostel. I've been to many hostels around the world, and…read morethis is by far the most calm and peaceful hostel I've been to. They have everything you may need - soap in the shower (bring towels), free water, free social events (cider and wine tastings, city tours, live music), a cafe with food and drinks, and several buildings with rooms. I really appreciated that my 4-bed, all-female room only had me and one other person in it throughout my 4-night stay. I appreciated they don't try to cram the rooms full. I really liked that the bathrooms are private. Each floor has 4 private bathrooms, each with a shower. Each bad has its own bed lamp, charging station, and personal fan. There aren't any bed curtains, though. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location is great and only a 10-20 minute walk into the city. Street parking is available for less than $5 a day. Would choose to come back and stay here again!

The kitchen is too cluttered with people's food. The room was too hot and we couldn't figure out how to cool it down. Those were the only things that kept this place from getting a 5 star.

Wonderful location on Division, near great eating (pie, pizza, speakeasy, ice cream, and more!) and fun shops (vintage, more vintage, black owned bookstore, and more!). Walking distance to the heart of Hawthorne too! The house itself is like a classic "bed and breakfast" shared house. Baked goods and coffee available all day, fridge space for your leftovers and booze, plus bonus for long stays: you can use the washer and dryer! Cozy nooks for eating, front porch with swing, comfy couch in the parlor. Friendly staff, and friendly fellow guests, & comfy rooms -tho we were in a basement room, not the best view from there. I would definitely seek this guesthouse out if & when we're visiting the area again!

The owner was very responsive and if you are looking for a safe place just to sleep while visiting, this is the place. There are 4 rooms available and I took the single bed room. Suited my needs perfectly! I took the metlink from the airport and had no issues! It's also close to bus stops and other rails. I took it all over the city! There are 4 rooms for rent and you share 2.5 bathrooms. I never had any issues using the bathrooms when I needed! Everything was kept clean! There is also a small kitchen area where there are items available. I however did not eat anything since I was eating my way around town! Soo many options and not enough stomach space . There are also lots of food places around the corner as well as a Trader Joe's. Works perfectly! Definitely a gem.

Having the two balconies just made the view spectacular! It's so cool to watch Portland, at that location. And that's part of the point, the location. The hotel is fun and very cool. The soaking pool is quite a surprise! We got great customer service during check-in and out.

I did experience a hit and run accident with my car parked on grand street. The last time I came I arrived by train so I didn't really pay attention to the parking situation.

There is a sweet outdoor space with a table at the back of the first floor, and a rooftop. Every morning, wonderful coffee was available for guests, and there was a gym and sauna in the basement. There is also a pretty great happy hour every day starting at 3 that includes both food and drinks, and the general decor and vibe is super cool and super clean. On my first night, I was in a single queen room with a shared bathroom, and that was ok, except for the fact that someone wandered in who was not staying at KEX and tucked into a couch located outside of my room in the hallway for the night. The staff was super helpful and moved me the next night to a room with its own bathroom, but the overall experience that night was a drag. Would I stay at KEX Portland in the future? yes! Would I recommend others to KEX Portland? yes! Oh, and one more thing...there is a Crema out the door and across the street to the left, where you can grab something for breakfast.

Onsite cafe is there if you need to eat ASAP, but the neighborhood has plenty of options too if you're willing to walk a few minutes. Staff were great in helping me find my way around Portland. Tons of additional resources available and staff are also more than happy to print maps and stuff like that. Dorms are plenty spacious and lockers are available for everyone. Washrooms could use an upgrade to stall style ones to accommodate more people....get the line moving kinda thing. But all in all, good.
