The building, originally built in 1909, was converted into a hostel that is notable for its commitment to sustainability. Hawthorne Portland Hostel recycles 70% of their waste, has an on-site compost, and uses rainwater to flush their toilettes. Summer open mic nights are a great way to meet fellow travelers - every Wednesday in the garden. The surrounding neighborhood, Hawthorne is known as Portland's more bohemian district with a myriad of fun and funky places to explore.
