The Hoxton, Portland

The hotel itself is really nice!

The room was poorly set up and I knocked my knee on the bench at the end of the bed. The bathroom has no area to place anything. I am not pleased that I got a queen when I booked a king- still really floored you charge the same price for both and don't alert people when longs are sold out.

Bed is very comfy.

Super small room but not a huge deal for 1 person.

The hotel is nice & clean. The staff were kind and suggested things to do within walking distance. The decor of the rooms were nice.

The price was a little off due to how small the rooms were. My room was upgraded via Booking.com from the "Shoebox", I couldn't imagine how small it would've been. For one person, the SNUG room type is fine. It would've been tight traveling with 2 people in that room. No fitness room/gym. The reviews are accurate in regards to NOISE. Being familiar with NYC noise, I thought this wouldn't bother me. The noise at this hotel was different. There are music venues, lounges, clubs, and bars nearby so a lot of foot traffic and people hanging out on the streets. The area isn't the greatest at night were there's a great number of homeless people on drugs. At 4AM people were in the middle of the street screaming. I ended up having to use earplugs to get some sleep. There's not much the hotel can do about this. Maybe request not being near street level or first 1-3 floors. Lastly, they highlight on their website (and even upon check-in) that there is a cafe at the front of the hotel & a bar downstairs. Not once during my stay was either open. That was disappointing. With this said, the pricing per night should be lower.

Super Cute, comfy, easy to park

I was upgraded to a corner room that got amazing light and was really comfy.

Some awkward design choices like hard to get at outlets.

The entire experience was very pleasant. The staff in particular were wonderful.

The location is a bit rough. Main streets are fine but there was a lot of drug use around the side streets.

Centrally located with great staff. Food at the tope restaurant was great with stellar views from the outside seating. Free bike rental was a nice touch.

My room was facing Burnside street, a fairly main road. The soundproofing of the room was not particularly good, so sleep could have been better. Other reviews cover other aspects of the experience fairly accurately.

I had a nice little room that was clean, comfortable, and had a large window. The check in and out process was easy and they kept my bag safe. Location is within easy walking distance of the light rail to the airport, which is really inexpensive.

This hotel is located in a neighborhood that has lots of nudie bars, and is used by many homeless folks, who are leaving their mark on the area. I was solo but never felt unsafe, even late at night, but the streets and sidewalks are well used and lively.

The hotel was good, although the air-con was a bit noisy. Location was easy walking to good restaurants (about 15 mins walk) and the convention centre where I was attending a trade show was walkable in about 25 mins.

The area had a lot of homeless people laying around in the streets. Some were in a bad way with drug addiction and it was a bit alarming when you’re not used to it. Unfortunately it spoiled the trip for me. Some of that was quite unsanitary (urine and human faeces)

Right downtown, accesible to the riverfront and the Pearl District. Good remodeling job. Friendly and helpful staff.

Neighborhood is a little “sketchy.” Coffee shop was closed all during our stay. Had to upgrade our room to be comfortable.

They upgraded us to a bigger room cause the room we got literally wouldn’t fit my medium sized suitcase. That was nice.

Honestly rooms shouldn’t be that small and be called hotel rooms. My suitcase (medium size) wouldn’t have been able to be opened without concerted effort. The room was so small that the bed was tucked into the corner and it still was exceedingly small. For the price I paid if they hadn’t upgraded us I would’ve been beyond frustrated. The location is very lackluster - which isn’t the hotels fault but lots of drug addicted people everywhere. Walkable to lots of things which was good and thankfully they had security at all times but still.

Nice little room with private bath. Donated books in the room and all over the place in the lounge & lobby. Space to sit and read or work in the lounge area when no events going on. Restaurant on the roof. Limited menu and hours but nice space and decent price. Lobby coffee shop in the morning, except Sunday. Very friendly and helpful front desk people.

Coffee pot and refrigerator were not working properly, and apparently staff not available to come and check them.

Great location, 10 minite walk from the waterfront. The rooftop restaurant was lively and lovely. Beautiful room decor, lobby, and little cafe. We stayed in a corner room away from Burnside Ave, which was relatively quiet for a hotel downtown.

The building, the facilities, the style, the lighting were all exceptional. The doorman was also very friendly and helpful

The receptionist we met at check in was slightly dry and cold. The attitude of the receptionist was the only thing that didn’t match the high standard of the rest of the hotel.

Everything met or exceeded expectations except for below.

The size of the room was ridiculous. This ended up being, per square foot, the most expensive hotel stay I've ever had. Everything else was truly fantastic but the room size would make me hesitant to stay again or recommend. The cost did not reflect the comfort of the room.

Did it see any breakfast offered except the bags that cost $5.00 for some oatmeal and a piece of fruit. the coffee shop was cute. Everyone was kind and helpful and the bed was cozy. We had the Roomy view on the 7th floor.

The rooftop food was not great at all. They forgot the meat in our dish and brought it on the side and it wasn’t great at all

Decor and finish of the hotel and rooms was impeccable

Size of room was very disappointing

6th floor view was great. Room was better than I expected from the description and bathroom was great. We loved the $5 breakfast option that was ready hanging outside our door when we woke up!

Con- neighborhood often has smell of urine and you need to choose a side of the street to avoid people laying/sleeping on the sidewalks. But on a positive note the Chinese garden to the east and food trucks off 3rd ave are both about 3 blocks away.

Property looks just like the pictures. Really Modern with a cool rooftop restaurant (did not visit) and speakeasy (did visit and drinks were decently priced and yummy). Location was everything — close to really popular restaurants and the waterfront. Easy for us to use public transportation (did not use Uber/lyft once). Right across from the gas station so easy for us to get water and snacks. People say room size was small but it was perfect for us (especially since we were only there for the weekend). The open shower concept was indeed annoying but manageable.

Location…. A good and a bad I guess. As other reviewers stated — a large increase of homelessness in Portland which is outside of the hotels control. There were a lot, A LOT of flies outdoors which made their way into the lobby. Our hotel room was on the corner of the street so it was VERY loud until 2-3 AM some nights which made it hard to sleep soundly.

It was a nice hotel, small but perfect for solo travelers.

The location is supperrrrrrrrr sketchy. As a solo traveler who is a woman, I definitely wouldn't stay here again sadly :(

got charged for hourly parking overnight instead of as overnight guest. the rate overnight is 55 plus 15 in technology fees that we didn't know about-so $70 for parking overnight. also-getting our money back and rate adjusted was a pain in the butt.

Very cool decor and vibe.

Hotel and rooftop restaurant cool

Degenerate location with junkies

The hotel. The style. The staff.

The homeless tent city.

the lobby and restaurant area is very stylishly decorated, and feels cozy. the bathroom in our room was beautiful and the body products and soaps all smell incredible.

our room was super teeny tiny which we knew, but didn’t really realize how small it would be until we went into it. i would stay in a bigger room next time but not sure it would be worth the higher price.

staff, interior

tiny room for quite a price

exceptionally clean and comfortable.

No food service

We loved the feel of this place. The staff was excellent, decor was cozy and warm. The only thing I would note is how tiny the room was. We didn’t necessarily mind but it was a bit of a shock. Other than that, we loved it.

staff of desk valet and restaurant were exceptional

OUR ROOM WAS NOT CLEANED! We put the notice on the door and were out for 6 hours. Really wanted a clean room.

The aesthetic is fun, retro and clean, which was nice… also, the free water and milk in room is fun and much appreciated! Check in was easy and staff incredibly nice!

Can’t think of anything!

The Hoxton is a gorgeous hotel, the staff were very friendly and the lobby/bar were lovely. My room was small, which is what I booked so I didn’t mind that, but it wasn’t very accessible and I would have preferred if the cups, kettle etc were kept on a shelf higher up rather than down on floor level. I personally just found this difficult to access due to mobility issues. Also more options for breakfast bah would be great! Mine didn’t arrive, but when I called down for it the staff brought me one immediately. The service was great but when I opened the bag it only had an apple in it.

Stylish with friendly staff, easy to get to, dog friendly.

We didn’t stay for breakfast-had to leave very early. The parking garage was a mystery. The valet told me it was on a specific side of the block but I could not find it! Or anywhere on the block. Very strange. I ended up just parking in the municipal parking lot nearby.

Breakfast was very good. As was a fabulous dinner at Tope. Our room was nice and fairly quiet, with an extremely comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and helpful, whether at the front desk, lobby bar or restaurant. I got the impression that everyone really enjoys working there. We have stayed at the Hoxton in downtown LA, which we also really enjoyed.

It seemed from the info that Lovely Rita was a full service restaurant and we were surprised that it is no longer open. The coffee bar was fine but one of our two mornings, it was closed for 20 minutes during prime coffee needing time. Also, (not the hotel's fault) the area doesn't feel safe for walking at night. I hadn't been to Portland for a couple of years and was unprepared for how much downtown has changed. Also, they need some streaming channels on the TV.

Amazing location and super chic lobby. Rooms were clean and comfortable although very small, no microwave but it did have a fridge so I won’t complain too much. The bathrooms are small but adequate, and the showers are amazing.

No complaints.

It’s was nicely decorated

It was in one of the worst neighborhoods in Portland, Oregon. Everything around was shut down.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The bar/ lounge area is spacious and well appointed. The room was small but comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. Lovely shower! Great location to venture into different areas of the city.

It was very nice, decorations were alternative.

I think it’s great for solo travelers, but I wouldn’t go with my family.

Great hotel, not the best location, some homeless and junkies outside unfortunately, but that whole area of Portland is like this now. They’ve got security out front and super friendly staff, stylish amenities, we had a great time there.

Staff Comfortable Staff Room design

The $30 destination charge is a deceptive tax and make the Booking.com value less a real value. I’m not sure what I got for my $30

I like the Hoxton group. I’ve stayed here and in London. The staff are always spot on and good natured.

The hotel is beautifully designed and staff very very friendly and helpful.

Sadly ( and this isn’t any fault of the hotel) the homelessness situation Downtown is just so upsetting and the hotel is situated in a particularly bad area. It felt quite dangerous to go out with the children particularly at night. It was very disturbing to see how desperate the situation has got and we were encouraged to see that the hotel were running a few things to support homelessness. We really hope that the owners of the Hoxton hotel group try to push the local government / councillors to urge some immediate action to help these poor people. We had heard that Portland and many American cities had a big problem but to see it first hand was very distressing.

The ambience and the décor were exception. The lobby bartender made the best cocktails.

I wish that reservations made at the restaurant and speakeasy bar around the corner were listed on the hotel reservation when you check in. I made dinner reservations, then cocktail reservations, not realizing one cancelled out the other. If it was listed at check-in the person at the front desk would've noticed that I didn't have a dinner reservation for Tope. It could've been rectified then rather than wait 3 hours to go upstairs and be told I didn't have a reservation. Also, if you make reservations at both places they shouldn't cancel out. I wanted to make sure we got a seat for after dinner cocktails.

Very pleasant, clean and spacious.

Location

The hotel was great. Great room size, beds were comfortable, coffee shop on site, as well as coffee and tea offered in room. Most of the staff was excellent and helpful as well.

The first night the staff was not very happy, nor helpful. Also, driving to the hotel, we realized the location was not safe at night. There was another family that was thinking of leaving for the same reason, that evening. We knew that Portland had some issues, but this was shocking and did not feel like a place I wanted to stay. We considered leaving and taking a loss for our entire stay.

The staff were friendly and provide any assistance requested, the room and linen were clean, the bed was more comfortable than expected, the shower worked well, the rooftop taqueria was excellent.

Currently Portland Chinatown has no street life and the streets are taken over by homeless and dirt, the only thing around seem to be strip clubs. Its not the hotel's fault, thought. Having said that, I didn't experience any scary situation.

Interesting design nice view functional room

Weird odor in the elevator

The bed was comfy and I loved all the small details...

Well...to be honest it is loud...earplugs and the radio playing classical music were helpful, but I found myself wondering why they didn't invest in double pane windows...I have stayed in plenty of loud urban spaces in Europe in much less luxurious hotels that insulated their rooms from the noise much better...

Stylish, very comfortable, with really helpful staff.

It can’t be helped, but the location felt a little unsafe.
