KEX Hotel

Amazing value, great location, so much charm! Mattress and pillows very comfortable!

N/a

I went to Portland to attend a Conference in the Oregon Convention Center and had to make a last minute booking. After carefully searching AirBnB , Booking and Trivago, I decided to go for KEX by Booking, which proved a great cost/benefit option. In fact it fitted well my needs, since it's only some blocks from the Convention Center, with good showers, a small fitness space and, the best, a Finish sauna to relax after a long day of Congress. I ended up booking a bunk in a shared room, which was enough for my purpose. Each bunk has its own light, outlet and locker. Installed curtains provide some privacy. Although it was not a problem to me, a more sensitive person may feel a little disturbed by the noise of the air-conditioning or the street traffic, that's not really a big deal. Anyways, earplugs are offered for free in the rooms. Although KEX neither have a shared kitchen nor offer breakfast, there's an independent nice bar/restaurant on the lobby/ground floor where one can order for dinner or invite friends for a drink/chat at the end of the day. You can also bring your own meal at breakfast and eat it there. KEX is located at a walking distance from the Convention Center and from Portland downtown and offers easy access to public transport with a bus stop at its door. I could easily go run by the river in the mornings, which was especially pleasant in the spring time with the blossom cherry trees. The staff (CJ, Alexia, Michael and Cia) were especially friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend KEX for those looking for a nice and affordable option in Portland.

KEX was a fun boutique hotel in a safe, convenient location in Portland. Just a quick ride across the river to retail, Powell's bookstore, Sterling coffee, etc. Excellent bar/restaurant in the lobby where locals seemed to congregate.

Lighting in the room and bathroom could have been better.

Ambient of the lobby. Great style and decorations.

Bathroom outside the room very inconvenient. No parking

Location was awesome, great coffee shop close by - Rosaline! Was welcomed and taken care of by the person at reception, really friendly, and they genuinely took care of everything. They took the time to sort things out and was beyond helpful/sincere. The bathrooms were very spacious and clean. In spite of being hesitant about staying in the shared room - I ended up being solo and had the entire space to myself! The food was really tasty and affordable and all the servers/bartenders were beyond friendly and attentive - even though they were super busy. Loved everything about The KEX and look forward to coming back!

parking was a little challenging and everything else was incredible!

The rooms are spacious and clean. The location is prime. Overall great hostel.

I didn't find any.

I love everything about the Kex. The lobby is beautiful and great for a morning coffee and chat or a man evening card game with a friend. The rooms are perfect and cozy. It’s just the best.
