Mostly good. The beds are so squeaky though and could be remedied if they put some padding between some of the metal parts, such as the ladder and the bedframe.

I had a great time staying at this hostel. The staff were very friendly and gave me a map with recommendations for places to visit, which made exploring the city much easier. Thanks to their suggestions, I visited Washington Park, Powell’s City of Books, and most famous doughnut place :) The rooms, beds, bathrooms, kitchen, and common areas were all clean and well maintained. I also loved the hidden garden in the back; it was a peaceful place to relax. The hostel café was a nice bonus too. The location is excellent, within walking distance of downtown and the train station. I’d definitely recommend it, especially for solo backpackers 😊

My food was stolen from the communal fridge, and the staff did nothing about it, offering only a hollow apology. On top of that, the room was disgusting. The floor smelled strongly of urine, and the shower and bathroom area were left uncleaned, covered in hair. I strongly advise against staying here

My car got broken into with another car from girls staying in this hostel. DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU HAVE A CAR
