A cool little hostel located on Hawthorne, a young progressive area of Portland known for its bead stores, crafts shops, and coffee shops. It's located in Southeast Portland, which is on the other side of the river from downtown. It takes about 20 minutes by bus or 30 minutes by bike to get to downtown from the hostel.
The hostel was converted from an old house and it still feels like a house. Out front there is a nice big porch. The living room area has places to chat with people or sit and read. There's also a big kitchen. It's all brightly decorated with art and info about Portland all over the walls. The rooms and bathrooms are as nice and colorful as the rest of the hostel.
The guests are usually young and friendly, and it's a fairly quiet, but social hostel. There is a computer for internet access, but it's not cheap so you're better off using the free computers at the library. They do offer free wireless internet if you have a laptop with a wireless card. There's also a phone for free local calls. They don't allow locals and they require that you have a passport or proof that you traveled from somewhere else.
