NW Portland Hostel is easily one of the best places I have ever stayed, and I have stayed in quite a few hostels and airbnbs. It's super close to downtown, so I could walk pretty much everywhere. My flight was majorly delayed and I was able to call them and coordinate check-in hours after I was supposed to be there, and they were so nice and helpful about it all. The place is clean and in a gorgeous Victorian building with an excellent cafe where they offer free locally baked bagels and locally roasted coffee every morning to hostel guests. I would definitely recommend this place!
