Why Stay at Northwest Portland Hostel When Visiting Portland?
If you’re heading to Portland and want a stay that offers both comfort and a sense of place, Northwest Portland Hostel is a great choice. We’re located in a small, vibrant neighborhood that gives you an authentic Portland experience—plus, we’re within easy walking distance of downtown, Forest Park, and the popular NW 21st and 23rd Avenue shopping and dining districts.
Our hostel spans six buildings, blending historic charm with modern design. With a variety of community spaces and an on-site Hostel Cafe that functions as a full restaurant, there’s always a spot to relax, grab a bite, or connect with fellow travelers.
Unlike a traditional hotel, staying at our hostel means you’ll be part of a more connected and local experience. It’s a great way to meet people from around the world, get recommendations from locals, and feel more rooted in the neighborhood while still being close to the city’s biggest attractions—like Powell’s Books, the Pearl District, and Washington Park.
We host travelers of all ages and offer a range of room styles—from shared dorms to private rooms—so whether you’re traveling solo or with a group, we’ve got something that will work for you.
It’s more than just a place to sleep—it’s a base for exploring Portland, with a built-in community feel that makes all the difference.
