Portland International Guesthouse

I liked this property for me, but the stairs would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Breakfast is extremely limited, so be prepared to provide your own unless very simple cereal and milk is enough. Work was going on in the breakfast room, which they were very kind and apologetic about, but really should have been scheduled to be done after "breakfast" hours, no? Like starting at noon and not before? At least 11 am? Room was comfortable and clean, and the hosts are lovely. I felt, though, that there were so many do's and don'ts everywhere - "do not attempt to enter the room before 2 pm" and "do not ever park..." etc. I was really worried about making a mistake as a result, which wasn't as relaxed as I would have preferred. Again, the hosts were extremely kind in person, but the posted notices everywhere felt like a Boarding House, not as much like a "Guest" House. I love old houses and that's why I chose this one. But without any central living room or entry area, it's not as homey as I would have liked. Super close to Trader Joe's and lots and lots of really cute shops, bakeries, restaurants, bars, tea and coffee places that are obviously up and coming, but there are so many desperate and homeless folks in the neighborhood that it left me feeling very sad & mixed. Walkable to the famous bookstore and even to the beautiful Washington Park (if you don't mind uphill for that one) but only .9 miles from each. Just some heads-ups here. it was a very nice experience.

Very nice near a lot of stuff to do.

Thoughtful provisioning, comfortable bed, and not too hot on the third floor after a day in the high 80’s.

The Guesthouse was perfect! Check in was easy, getting a parking permit was simple, and the space is lovely.

Super great value for trendy NW! Loved seeing this space renovated for an international vibe.

Breakfast is not included. I put this first cause you don’t even get a cup of coffee. This is more of a glorified hostel attached to a pretty house. It is not an “Inn.” The breakfast was literally Cheerios and corn flakes. The room was hot but there was a portable A/C so plus. Old furnishings and tough bed. Bathroom was great. Location was great. Parking was easy. One bummer — the kitchen is on the top floor and when I went into it, sat a shirtless older senior gentleman eating. It was not something I wanted to deal with after a long day. But he was shirtless because the kitchen was also hot. I checked out early because I couldn’t sleep. I want to support local small businesses so I stayed here. I have stayed in many inns. This just wasn’t one. It’s a hostel.

Love this place because it feels like a home away from home. Unique concept of accommodations for guests - bed and breakfast without a real breakfast but with the convenience of a few breakfast items and kitchen/dining space for preparing a simple meal. Clean and cosy with well explained rules.

I had such a nice stay. The bathrooms and kitchen were shared, but I didn't see anyone else during my stay. The location is excellent. Portable AC was appreciated since my room was on the top floor. Tim clearly has put in a lot of effort to make clear signage so all spaces could be clean and comfy for all guests.

My wife and I really didn't know what to expect. When we arrived, it was amazing. Tim was one of the best hosts that we have ever had the honor of meeting. The best part was, No TV in the room. It was really amazing to reconnect with my wife and zero distractions. Thank you for the beautiful weekend. We will be staying again. Absolutly loved it

The location is wonderful, we were comfortable in our room, parking is tricky but we had no problems as we followed their precise email about permits in m neighborhood.

I absolutely loved this guesthouse and would for sure stay there again!

Great place super centrally located. Walk to everything

Wish I could say more, but when I got there all I did was sleep and left early the next morning

Super clean, organized, comfy place. As it is an older wooden building, the floors/stairs are very creaky, and our door would only close properly if we lifted it up, otherwise the wind from an open window would blow it open (or maybe ghosts?? mysterious), however you can get around this by locking the door. The breakfast options weren't great - plain cheerios or plain corn flakes, there was also apple & cinnamon oatmeal - but I did appreciate the different milk options. The unsweetened vanilla almond milk was nice. I wouldn't walk around the area in the evening/at night as there were plenty of shady characters - at one point we saw a lady very blatantly peeking into vehicles, so definitely lock your cars and bring belongings inside. However, there were so many cute restaurants/cafes/shops/pubs within walking distance, and walking around during the day was really nice.

Simple check-in process nice location.

Great way to overnight in Portland. We appreciated how quiet and clean it was. Love the full kitchen and multiple, clean bathrooms. Clear instructions on how to clean up after yourself ensure that everyone does.

My son and I really loved staying at this place and are going back again in a few days when we pass through Portland again. It was super clean. Our room was large. The kitchen / common area worked great for us. The person working was readily available by phone, really helpful, but not in our way at all. It's a beautiful old home in a really lovely urban residential area. We loved walking in the nearby huge park. We highly recommend this place, and it was worth the parking issues that are present due to the urban location.

The check in process was very straightforward and easy with clear instructions on everything. The owner was very helpful and informative and accommodated me very well. The room and bed were well kept and comfortable!

The entire process was fluid and smooth. Everything that was stated in the follow up emails was completed. Location is centrally located and has easy walk to ciffee, restaurant's, brewery and theater. Property is immaculate inside and out. Will be back!

Great part of the city to stay in - fairly quiet residential neighborhood but a ton of restaurants and shops and not a bad walk to downtown. The guesthouse was tidy and pleasant.
