🦦✨ Otterly exciting news! In honor of on May 27th, we’re throwing a special World Otter Day Trivia Night this Friday, May 29th, at the Northwest Portland International Hostel 🤩

Get ready for an evening packed with fun facts, ocean vibes, and all things otters - from playful river otters to the sea otters we’re working to restore to Oregon’s coast 🌊.

Need a quick affordable breakfast in Portland? ☀️🥯

Our locally sourced bagels from our neighbor have become a favorite around the hostel - fresh, high quality, and served with cream cheese or jam. Choose from plain, cinnamon raisin, or everything.

Add a fresh squeezed orange juice for the perfect morning boost 🍊✨

We’re so happy to have volunteered in the Reining Roses Mother’s Day Walk yesterday in support of our neighbors at Rose Haven.

Our team, including our café manager Calli, was even featured on KOIN 6, which was a fun moment!

We hope you all had a beautiful Mother’s Day, and we’re looking forward to welcoming guests into the cafe this warm week in Portland 🌷

We’re proud to share that we were featured in this Stay documentary series highlighting our hostel & cafe 🏠

Thank you so much to Bryant Perkins, Brooke McKelvey, Stephane Leuenberger and Cloudbeds, for producing this documentary and taking the time to tell the story of our hostel. We’ve loved being part of the Portland community for nearly 30 years, and appreciate you helping share the belief that hostels are so much more than just places to sleep - they’re places for connection, community, and shared experiences.

Like many businesses connected to international travel, we’ve felt the impact of changing travel trends over the past few years. One of the biggest things that has helped keep our doors open has been the support of our local community, whether referring us, visiting the cafe, attending events, collaborating with us, or simply continuing to spread the word about what we do.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped this space continue to grow and evolve, and we look forward to welcoming both travelers and locals for many years ahead 💛

A first for our Monday Night Music Series!

Jared traveled up from California, stayed with us, and helped close out the night by doing something no one at the Hostel Cafe open mic ever has — yodeling. He absolutely yodelivered. (🙃)

We’re holding him to his promise to return in October. 👀

We have a featured artist and open mic every Monday, 6:30–10 PM — free, open to locals and travelers alike.

We can’t wait to see you!
