This is a hostel with private rooms. I might have missed that while booking, but don’t think it was clearly labeled. It’s a nice place and good location if you’re going to the convention or Moda center, but just know what you’re booking.

The check-in was great, I'd come on the train and was quite tired and Christian at the front desk had my bed all set. Giving great recommendations for local food around town all within a short distance including the great Pizzeria, a diner, and a local Brewery. My room was spotless as were the bathrooms were for great tile pattern on the floor. The bar area also had very old wood herringbone pattern on the floor a wonderful attentive staff and a fantastic happy hour. Oysters abounded

Great hotel in Portland. It was perfect for our family of 5. We had a room with two bunk beds and one queen. We had our own bathroom. Comfortable beds and linens. Parking was easy. We found a spot right across the street. The hotel was clean and not cookie cutter which we loved. The bar downstairs was so cool. Great cocktails and music. Helpful staff. Would recommend.

An amazing hotel in the heart of Portland. Very cozy art deco atmosphere, an amazing lobby lounge, with a great little menu to satisfy your hunger, and a great drink menu to satisfy your thirst. KEX Portland is one of those hotels where you come back to time and time again when you visit this amazing city. It truly feels like a home away from home, and you just want to be here when you’re not busy running around town. It feels like home, so why not stop in for a drink or bite to eat, and stay awhile. I guarantee, you’re gonna love it.
