I really wanted to give this place a higher rating. Really. The location is nice and very accessible. I met some nice guests and had a fun time in the city, and really enjoyed the neighborhood and amenities, like tons of bathrooms and showers, free towels and locks, and the coffee bar. The kitchen was very nice and handy as well. On my first night another guest in my dorm came in later than I did and was talking to her friend who was not staying in our room in a not-2am-friendly volume enough to wake me up. On the second night, three out of four guests were snoring incredibly loud, and the fourth guest would intermittently "shush" them, no avail, because they were sleeping. I also noticed a welt on my arm and found an adult bed bug under my pillow on the same night. The person working the front desk was nowhere to be found, and sounded irritated and was disbelieving at first that I found a bed bug in my bunk. I was refunded and offered laundry compensation, which was nice, except since I paid with a card my refund hasn't been processed yet and I could not find another place to stay in my budget for the last day of my trip so I'm at the airport 19 hours early. My coed dorm room also absolutely reeked of cheap cologne, BO, and most prominently, feet. The bunks are also the LOUDEST things I'd ever slept on, and another guest in my room had things sprawled out on the floor, including a plastic grocery bag of some kind of leftovers or something? And there were chips dumped behind her bed. I KNOW this is probably not a regular occurrence, and hostels are my usual go to when I'm traveling lightly. Unfortunately this was far from the ideal hosteling experience.

Nice hostel. Bathrooms reasonably clean. No bedbugs. The only complaint I have is about the common areas. A few nights I noticed people skyping/talking late at night that were way too loud but you cant fault the hostel for that. Otherwise it was great

Analisi dell'atmosfera
Il Giardino Segreto è il posto più importante: un cortile tranquillo e nascosto che può ancora sembrare privato quando il bar e l'ostello sono occupati. Da' al Northwest Portland Hostel un'atmosfera di quartiere, non solo una struttura a chiave e letto. All'interno, l'ostello ha un caffè in loco aperto fino a tardi, musica dal vivo, serate open mic, degustazioni, commedia, violino e altri eventi comunitari. Ci sono aree comuni per lavorare o studiare 24 ore su 24, 7 giorni su 7, cucina completa, lavanderia, parcheggio per biciclette, deposito bagagli e spazi adatti ai gruppi. La posizione è percorribile a piedi per il nord-ovest di Portland: 23rd Avenue, Washington Park, Trader Joe's, centro, ristoranti, bar e trasporti sono tutti pratici da qui. L'umore generale può essere sociale, creativo e radicato nella comunità, con abbastanza angoli tranquilli per lavorare o nascondersi dalla matrice del rumore.
Segnali da controllare
- Il parcheggio è limitato o situato in strada, e i furti nelle vicinanze sono un rischio reale.
- I letti dei dormitori non hanno sempre tende per la privacy, e le stanze possono essere calde, fredde o soffocanti.
- Le condizioni della stanza, la manutenzione del bagno e della cucina e il calore della reception possono essere disomogenei.
- La colazione e il caffè possono costare di più, quindi prima di prenotare è bene verificare le aspettative di budget.
