This place is super convinient for anybody visiting Portland. It takes only 10-15 minutes walk to downtown. Moreover, it is very clean and looks good. I believe there are optional activities every night. I attended free beer tasting of local beers. So Portlandish :) It is a little bit more expensive place in comaprison with other hostels I have been to. However, you are paying for the convinience and it is worth it! Would stay again.
