Pretty much as advertised - a hostel in the middle of downtown Portland. Very central and close to a lot of cool restaurants and shops, but also in the middle of a large homeless population. Walking outside of the hostel gave views of tent camps and several homeless people walking around. I felt fairly safe although I did not trust to park my car outside the hostel. It was recommended to me to park several blocks away in a parking garage.
I stayed in one of the triple-decker bunks. I thought they were clean and cozy and I was lucky that the travelers in the same bunk were quiet and respectful. My bunk had a storage container that could be used if I had brought a lock, and overall it was a positive experience. They had 3 bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, and body soap dispensers and I never had to wait to use the restroom.
They had a limited drinks/coffee bar which was a nice touch although I never used it. They had a rooftop patio which had amazing views of the city and was one of the highlights staying here. Overall this place was a great value if you are comfortable sleeping in bunks, and I'd definitely stay here again. I would really recommend bringing a personal lock to keep your stuff safe and to be careful when walking around outside the hostel though.
