On one of Portland's most popular destinations. Close in, bohemian, & fun, Hawthorne Blvd is known for it's quaint eateries, coffeehouses, pubs, unique shops, and the famous Bagdad Brewpub & Theatre.

| Great little eco-hostel. Beds are lumpy and uncomfortable and I woke up with a sore back. Nice and quiet and the hostel is cozy. Location is right in the Hawthorne District so there's lots to do, eat, and browse. Very safe area (Almost all of Portland and peripheral cities are) and you can easily huff it on foot or take the great MTS.
Plus, FREE BREAD from Ken's Artisan Bakery every morning! | ||
