Overall good stay for a weekend in Portland, Pretty noisy, “deluxe queen room” with its own bathroom was directly located beside shared one. Nightly interruptions. Small room, showering set off fire alarm in room. Booked late check out (2pm) during check-in. Still got a call from reception at 11am asking why I haven’t left the room yet - mediocre experience.

Really cool vibe and very spacious for a hostel. The elevator broke while I was there, but the stairs weren't too bad and they had it fixed the same day - very repsonsive and helpful staff! And the restaurant in the lobby was awesome!

Stayed last week of Sept. 2024. Stayed in the 4-bunk room with rotating roommates for 8 days. Very simple "dorm room" style living but can't beat the price for downtown Portland. Bathroom/showers are shared so bring shower flip-flops if your room doesn't have a shower. My bed was hard as a rock, but it was fine for the price. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is PERFECT. There is a small, safe, 24-hour access parking lot only about 200ft away that costs $15-$17 for 24-hour overnight parking. That is about the best 24-hour overnight parking rate you will find in Portland. The Portland Streetcar runs down MLK Blvd directly past the KEX.

Liked that there's a great restaurant on ground floor and shared bathrooms and rooms are well maintained. Lots of terrific spaces to hang out in. And the storage space under the bunks are spacious and could even fit my rolling carry-on size suitcase. The only minor desire would be if the upper bunks also had a closing curtain so that I could have even more privacy from the other top bunkmate. But definitely the best hostel I have stayed in.
