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!

It was a great hostel. Large, lots of amenities, and the cafe had good food. The service was great…read moreeverywhere. The front desk people were great and the cafe people were too. 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.

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.

Bluebird Guesthouse is a wonderful place to stay if you want to drop into the Hawthorne / Division…read moreneighborhood vibe for a few days. 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!

Room #1 was very quaint and enough room without bumping into furniture. The bed was soft as were the pillows. We were able to get a good night's sleep. The cafe has a handicap ramp plus separate stairs leading to it. A million hats off to the chef! The food had ample portions and was scrumptious!! The sourdough toast was a delight as you could actually taste the sourdough. It was a perfect pairing with my bacon and eggs. The live music was a bonus! Even though the stairs were daunting, people were friendly, warm, and I can't wait to eat there again!!

Another road trip. Found this place on what is probably the main business district in this small…read moretown. Another lucky find. The cafe is about the right size for a small town in March. Given the "antique" shop opportunities is might be much busier during the tourist season. The service was small-town nice, food came quickly, and the menu had lots of choices. I had the French dip sliders- perfectly fine. The star of the show was my partner's BLT, Mr, picky said that it was his current favorite for that sandwich. So good service, nice room, ample menu and well prepared food. Prices were fair. And, as I always comment, clean restroom, key for a road trip. Also of interest - booths were four-six tops they accommodate larger groups with movable tables. Street parking was available.

A great location, an intriguing old house and great hosts! And Trader Joe's is just down the block…read more Hosts will help you arrange parking permits. Very close to the medical facilities. Absolutely fab restaurants and food trucks in the area.

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.

The only 'complaint' is that the…read morefood and drinks in cafe are priced high considering what you are getting, which is similar to bar food. Nothing special though it is always served warm and cooked well it is not really deserving of the pricing so I'd go else where for food and or prepare your own. A huge bummer because it it SO convenient and the music in the cafe can be wonderful! If they want to attract more diners in their cafe I'd say lower the prices! Usually budget travelers re: ppl staying in hostels don't have huge budgets and they / we try to do as much as possible with fewer funds! I think the least expensive thing was gluten free toast @ $8., soups, sandwiches and everything else is waaaaayyy too expensive again bc it presents like 'healthy' bar food and should be priced accordingly. For those prices you can wander up to NW 21st Ave. (which is recommended anyway) and get excellent Indian, Thai, Korean, Italian or any number of ethnic cuisines (complete dinners) in same price range!
