“I had a great time staying at the International Hostel. It was 5 blocks from the Max station, and I felt very safe in this neighborhood. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The wine tasting event was fun, and I walked to an amazing Korean Restaurant (Bibim) on NW 23rd (at a street car station). It's a great value, and I know I will stay here again.”

This is a good hostel. The wine tasting was great, and the cafe was convenient and tasty. The hostel has an interesting history, and many of the buildings have a distinct architectural style.

I enjoyed meeting new friends and fellow travelers. With good food and beer & wine tastings, the Café nicely complements the hostel and its Commons. Trivia night was fun!
