The young gentleman at the desk was very helpful. However, even though folks in the ajoining room were talking at a normal volume, they kept us awake. Also, when they used their toilet we could hear them pee, burp, etc.. The shower ran out of hot water and the breakfast area ran out of coffee. We'll never come back.

Expedia told me 3-8pm check-in, but signage at the site said 4-9pm. I was not expecting the additional delay after a day on the water, but Tim was nice enough to let me check-in a bit early despite the sticky misinformation from the travel site.

Adequate place to stay

The room and location fitted with my needs. The staff seemed a bit confused when I arrived since I had called an hour before. The room was fine, but hallway light traveled through a window in the door. This was disrupting to sleep.

Simple and Just What I Needed

I was in town for a conference and needed a place to stay for the night. I didn't need any bells and whistles and this place was a perfect place to get a good night's rest. I received a very warm greeting when I arrived and was given a quick tour. The room was simple with a bed, night stand, lamp, table and chairs, and a coat hanger. There were two bathrooms across the hall from me; one equipped with a shower. The water temperature ran a little too cool for my comfort. Not sure if this is from a master temperature setting or if they ran out of hot water? I was up and about around 6am on Saturday morning and there was hot coffee and a delicious frittata awaiting in the dining area with fresh fruit, yogurt, milk, and cereal. Overall I would recommend Hood River Hostel if you need a place to lay your head while you adventure around Hood River.

Sleeping in an office

I found the hotel as all other Motels were booked out at the time of my stay. The building is a one level building which seems to have been a storage or office building. My room was tiny small and had a glas door (no window) to the outside. They put the bed in front of the door so it seemed like a window at first. The walls are anything but soundproof, the ailes and the lobby is a total mess. Boxes, laundry, tools, bike, etc. In the room the ceiling is like in an office with matching lamps. I have never felt so uncomfortable. Seems that prices in Hood River are sometimes as high that the owner can ask for so much money for such a room.

Nice but basic, very friendly staff

As a hostel it can not compare with a hotel. The room had no own bathroom, there was no furniture past the bed, a nightstand and a coathanger. It was very clean, the room was large. The breakfast was good and due to the solar eclipse the staff was up really early to provide breakfast.

This is a Hostel, not a Hotel for those reading reviews expecting to hear about a hotel. That said, it is the "Club Med" of hostels. Large space, very quiet, very clean, stress-free, respectful guests, wonderful and friendly owners, good food, good coffee and tea. There is an amazing view of Mt. Adams from the deck. The deck is huge and a good place to have breakfast and read. The women's dorm has its own bathroom and shower. The hostel is located in a less touristy, quiet part of Hood River. Again, a very stress-free, relaxed environment. I will always stay here when in Hood River which is an amazing little town for people who enjoy outdoor adventures.

Great but unclear info and questionable pricing!!

This place was a great stop along the Gorge, however the issue was the price and the website. The room is about $40 less on Sunday than it was when we paid on Saturday night. That's a lot!!! And even on the following Sat. night (Easter weekend), it is $25 less than we paid last night. That doesn't seem appropriate!! Also, it is not super clear that at $141 a night, the bathroom is a walk down the public hallway. The website could be clearer, such as: bathrooms are outside the room, down the hall. They do state 'shared accommodations' but that can be interpreted many ways. Our room was private except for the bathroom and single shower, shared with others. The facility was clean, the breakfast was ample, and the room we rented was very comfortable and spacious. The front desk attendant wasn't present when we left, so we couldn't ask about the pricing, and since it was booked online, the funds were already sent to hostel.

Clean and friendly

I ended up getting placed in the 8-bed dorm even though I had reserved and paid for a single room, but had the room all to myself. Not being able to regulate the heat, I was fortunate to sleep next to a window that opened. There was homemade food at breakfast and a nice variety. In this place it seems natural to make acquaintances with others, which was very pleasant. The staff was great. It felt more like home than a motel room.
