I stayed here 2 separate nights. The first night, no issues. I was in a large dorm and it was fine. The second night (several days later), I was in a smaller dorm and the bunks were SO squeaky that I could barely sleep. I felt bad for moving at all, because my bunk made so much noise. Everyone else’s bunk was noisy too. I wish they asked about physical limitations when assigning beds, because I am very short and dealing with shoulder pain so I found it difficult to get to the top bunk. I fell off the ladder getting down. The bathrooms were clean. One was out of order , but they have plenty others. Downstairs at the bar, the bartender was having a loud conversation on phone with someone on speaker phone, which I found to be unprofessional. Overall, you get what you pay for. I would stay here again just based on saving money.

I enjoyed the continental breakfast buffet, considering that this is a hostel.

I’ve stayed at the KEX in Portland, Oregon and was really excited to stay here. I stayed in a room on my own and essentially had a king bed all to myself for a very affordable price. The room was huge, and I had a view of the church from my window, which was an incredible surprise. The bathrooms were a little dirty, but I think that’s less on the staff and more of the other travelers in the hostel. There were a lot of teenagers when I was there, and they were fairly loud and messy. That being said, I would absolutely stay here again!
