Well run, clean The Eugene hostel was well managed and organized. Free internet and Wi-Fi access, pancakes, and coffee available in the morning, well-labeled kitchen. At first I was unsure whether my sheets were fresh, but the spotless kitchen and bathrooms gave me a comfort level. The Annex a few blocks away has space for camping, a fun porch for folks to hang out. The main building had a music performance one evening. Access late at night by code, so the area had a safe feel. Several restaurants, coffee shops, and a grocery are only a few blocks away. Nice, welcoming feel.

Great Clean, great staff, conveniently located. Round the corner from plenty of live music at Sam Bond's Garage -- weekdays as well as weekends. A few blocks from the Red Apple supermarket. A short walk to downtown Eugene for clubs, art galleries, and both Amtrak and greyhound stations. A smaller hostel, it has a cozy feel. I have been twice, and will go back again some day.

Sweet home away from home Great place; excellent, fun-loving, knowledgeable staff. Musicians will be pleasantly surprised with the special space for practice. Free movies; well-stocked kitchen area; nice library; and professional, hospitable folk. Excellent location for access to Eugene's nightlife.

Peaceful, cozy Having stayed at only a few hostels (and many hotels and motels), I must say that this was the most pleasant experience I've had. If you are lucky enough to stay here, then you are in Eugene, OR, what I believe to be the most diverse, small city in America. Whether sports, nightlife, music, hiking, biking, or even extreme outdoors, this place offers it. And if reading a book, quietly, under a shady tree while the kids watch TV is your gig, then this is it. The place was spotless! The kitchen caters to veggies and carnivores alike. The bed was comfortable, the sleep was peaceful, the staff was great. And if you're lucky enough to meet the manager/owner, ask him if he will play a tune for you.

Fantastic! My girlfriend and I absolutely loved this place. The hostel is close to downtown and is in a quaint neighborhood with a very distinct character. I strongly suggest planning to visit during the last Friday of the month, as there is an Art Walk in this neighborhood, and things get a bit interesting. The staff are fantastic and courteous. As an added bonus, the hostel is pet friendly as well.

Really Wonderful We so enjoyed our stay here! It was clean, comfortable, and welcoming! Walking distance to many nifty places -- my only caution is for those of us that love to look around while walking, be aware of the sidewalks! They're dangerous! The staff was amazing and so nurturing. The other guests were interesting and friendly. I recommend it to anyone.

Great place to stay, friendly people, very comfortable, and clean. Actually this was my first stay at a Hostel and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was a great experience! Everyone was awesome and I definitely enjoyed my Eugene experience, and the Whitaker Block Party was amazing. The neighborhood is unique and loaded with a lot of talented, artistic, and friendly individuals.

What a great place. Feels like home! I've stayed at about fifteen hostels around the world, and by far this one is tops. I love, love, love the atmosphere. My favorite place to stay in Oregon!

I really enjoyed my stay at the whiteaker hostel, it was clean and had lots of free facilities including free internet and international phone calls! The place has a really good vibe, i felt really comfortable and at home. I would recommend this place to any travelers, especially people with a alternative backround -- out of all the hostels i have stayed at this is definitely one of my favourites!

This is a great hostel. Great staff, good location. (Walking distance to downtown.) I stayed in the private room and the shared girls room. You're not crammed in like some other hostels. Pretty neighborhood on tree lined street. Front porch w/chairs and table. Nice backyard. Keyed entry to come and go at your own will. Plenty of hot water -- no cold showers! If noise is a factor the house does have its share of creaks and bangs and it sits next to a railroad track. So bring earplugs. But overall I would definitely stay there again.
