We have a Room for Everyone

  funky rooms just for you 

A few things you should know while scrolling through these photos: our hostel rooms are simple and some  are very small. This is an old building we renovated into the hostel, and it still maintains all that old building size and magic. Our rooms don't lack in personality, but if you're used to traveling with everything you own, you may want to stay elsewhere. We promise good vibes, an immaculately clean space, and really fun common areas to enjoy and explore Portland, Maine from!

We have 13 bathrooms in the hostel allowing a great ratio of people per bath.  The bath are all private style -with one toilet, one shower and one sink in each.  Many rooms have shared bathrooms, so be sure to read the descriptions.

Remember: we do not have an elevator!

If you book a bed in a dorm room and would like to reserve a lower bunk, please shoot us an email and let us know your preference. We can't guarantee a lower bunk, but we will do our best.
