Hotels in Portland, OregonA design-focused hostel-hotel with dorms and private rooms on Portland’s Central Eastside
8.7/10
A strong pick for character, helpful staff and hostel flexibility—not guaranteed quiet.
KEX is a design-focused hostel-hotel, not a conventional three-star: choose a shared bunk room or a private room, with either shared or en suite bathrooms. It’s a strong pick for travelers who value character and useful communal spaces over full-service extras. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise helpful staff, comfortable beds and cleanliness. Pacific Standard’s downstairs bar and restaurant gives the place a social center, while the gym and sauna are welcome extras for this class.
Book the exact room configuration carefully: a private bedroom does not necessarily mean a private bathroom. Street noise crops up in recent reviews, although other guests report quiet nights, and there’s no on-site parking. A daily amenity fee covers Wi-Fi, morning coffee, gym and sauna access. We’d skip it if you need dependable silence or a standard hotel setup.
