Welcome to our hostel

Situated in one of Portland's most popular destinations, Portland Hawthorne Hostel offers quaint eateries, coffee houses, pubs, unique shops and the famous Bagdad Brewpub and Theatre. It's the perfect blend of urban pulse and friendly attitude. Our hostel does not have a 24-hour check-in desk and all guests must arrive before 10pm to complete check-in requirements.

The hostel offers a spacious kitchen and common rooms, comfortable beds and free Wi-Fi. Free Breakfast includes coffee/tea, all-u-can-make pancake, cereal or oatmeal with milk.

Outside there are front decks and a side yard for relaxing and people watching.

Please note: There is a neighborhood cat that hangs out mostly outside but occasionally comes into the foyer. It does not go anywhere else in the hostel.

Discounted bike rentals are available as well as (third-party) tours from the hostel to the Columbia Gorge, Mount St. Helens, whale watching and historic Portland. A quick trip to city attractions such as Powell's Books, the Old Town, weekend market, Washington Park and Willamette River Promenade are also recommended.

The hostel was very charming but funky and should have been cleaner. There were items under my bed from previous guests and the window would not stay up if opened. The dinner was very good and staff was very nice. I think a code should be required at the front door all day, not just in the evening, as there was an intruder one night. It was fun to be on Hawthorne Avenue with lots of shopping/restaurants.

Hi Janet, Thanks for leaving a review. Glad you liked the neighborhood! We will be more diligent with cleaning up under the beds, thanks for the heads up. Sorry you had to see that., we were a little short handed last week. BTW-Staff was present and confronted the unregistered guests within minutes when he came in the front door and the authorities were contacted. BTW-We are getting a new door lock system soon that will require key cards for all doors. We take safety very seriously here. Happy Travels- Talbot (Hostel Manager)

I really enjoyed my stay. The community dinner during my first night was yummy and fun. The handle on the shower on the main level is backwards (they know this) but the water never seems to get warm. I was cold and wet but stepped out and went to a shower on another floor. The dorm room I was in was pretty nice. I liked the comforters. The lighting left something to be desired and the room definitely needed to be aired out because it felt pretty hot and moist inside.

I'm so glad you enjoyed our community dinner night, which typically happens every Wednesday night, it is a great way to meet other travelers and get a tasty home cooked meal! We have had several professionals out to look at the shower and thus far no problems have been found, but I am bringing your feedback about the shower to the manager. Happy travels!

It's an excellent place to stay, very safe, wonderful staff, no weirdos, clean as hell, almost sickeningly ecologically friendly and there's a surprising amount of great places to eat in and around town. It is a little ways out of town though, a good 20-25 blocks from the city center, with only the bus nearby. Having said that, Hawthorne street is safe and there's some great food nearby.
