Almost perfect, better than expected, would absolutely stay again.
The cafe and secret garden were excellent.
The main entry to the sleeping area left of the office smelled like urine.

Le style du lieu! C'était super beau. Comme une auberge ancienne en bois avec des arbres et des petites marches secrètes. Tout est confortable, on se sent en colonie de vacances :)

What we’d check for you here

That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.

Questions about Northwest Portland Hostel

What time is check-in and check-out at Northwest Portland Hostel?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Northwest Portland Hostel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Northwest Portland Hostel?

Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.

Is breakfast included at Northwest Portland Hostel?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Northwest Portland Hostel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Northwest Portland Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Northwest Portland Hostel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
