NW Portland Hostel was a fantastic place to stay within my budget for 4 nights. I had a late flight in (near 1am) and someone was there to let me in and show me around, even at such a late hour. I was checked into a room without other guests due to the lateness of my arrival, as to not disturb guests already asleep. I realize this was due to availability of vacant rooms, but it was a very thoughtful choice on NW Portland Hostel's part. The coffee shop on the ground floor is fantastic!!! The breakfast bagels and fresh coffee were a great way to start my mornings. A local lady named Margot leads 2hr guided walking tours of Portland from the hostel starting at 10am on various days too; I got to explore Portland with a tour guide before stopping off downtown to explore a harvest festival farmer's market. Overall, a fantastic stay with so many positives. I highly recommend this hostel.
