Your Hostel in Portland!
The hostel spans five buildings, most on the National Register of Historic Places, in Portland’s historic Alphabet District—known for its charming streets and unique history.
Since opening, we’ve expanded from a 36-bed hostel into a village of 6 buildings, many from the late 1800s. We offer 40 private rooms, 140 dorm beds, 1 apartment, including a Group Lodging Building.
Our 6th building, completed in 2017, houses our fantastic Hostel Cafe—a highlight of our guests’ stay!
