Excellent value hotel in center of town, walking distance to most things. Street parking only. Selected room with private bath but shared bathroom was so clean that would not hesitate to stay in room with shared bathroom. Solo traveler. Felt safe at all times. Will return to this hotel in future.
Not a terrible experience, but not an amazing one. Hotel is very basic and feels at times like a hostel.
It was not clear on booking and did not realize it till after, but most of the basic rooms do not have a toilet or shower (there are shared units, like a dorm room).
There is a sink with a mirror in the room.
No basic amenities that one would typically receive in an above average hotel.
Theming is cute, but the lobby is up 2 flights of stairs with no elevator.
The rooms also lack an AC, they do supply a fan for the room (make sure to take weather into account when staying).
Walls are very thin and windows lack any sound proofing. The doors all have old school physical keys, so the sound of doors slamming and locks turning, will sound all day and night.
The "quiet hours" were not respected by most guests and there is no hotel security. Several days the hotel front door is left open and the dront desk agent was either no where to be found or hidden in an office area. A person could easily wander in and use the facilities (the bathrooms and showers are not locked up).
Overall an incredibly basic stay and for an extra $60 dollars a night I could have stayed somewhere with a few more creature conforts.
First off what an amazing old building, super cool and friendly staff, and amazingly comfortable bed!! Personally didn't care for no private barhroom and no TV in the room was different. The shared kitchen was pretty cool. The NOISE was the least favorite, I know they supply ear plugs, BUT i guess they didn't work that great for us, I now know all sorts of thing of peoples lives I didn't need to know...LOL!
The hotel was so clean! We were a bit hesitant about sharing a bathroom and shower, but it was so pristinely clean, our hesitations were immediately gone. Loved the experience!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
It was great, the first night we were kept up and we thought it was our neighbors. On night two we discovered it was the window shade hitting the window over and over. You get a mini fan in the room so you want the windows open to cool off. Window around the lobby and front door stayed open for the same reasons. Other than that it was a pleasant stay.
Great place: neat clean and friendly. Shared bathroom and shower rooms in the “cabin” rooms (the cheaper ones). But super clean plus tons of historical character in the 1924 building. Shared kitchen with full stove and shared refrigerator.
Amazingly thoughtful logistics design for ease and hygiene.
Most guests (like me) we of an age that we had experience in shared housing from our youth so this was very comfortable. A really positive experience and good nights sleeps!

Thin old doors. Hardwood floors. Thin walls? Loud people coming in. It's after 11 now. Still happening. Forget the stated quiet rule.
The room was very nice with lots of room. The bathroom was large clean. Liked very much. Disappointing they didn't have coffee in the morning as we were told when we checked in. The person said they ran out the day before.
I had a great stay at this super cool spot during a short trip to Astoria. The vibe of the place was relaxed and hip, with a creative charm that really made it stand out. The shared facilities, especially the kitchen, had this nostalgic school-like feel that made meeting other travelers fun and easy—like being back in a friendly dorm, but way cooler. Wish I could have stayed a few more nights to fully soak in the nature, the town’s quirky charm, and the amazing people. Definitely coming back!
It’s a fun, kinda funky place to stay. It’s old. Creaky floors and some wear on the fixtures. No tv in the room. Lots of amenities if you’re looking to stay cheaply or be close to downtown Astoria.

Nice hotel
The hotel is like a hostel. Very clean and friendly staff. Building is old so you can hear others in the next room. There are restaurants close by within walking distance. Restrooms, showers, and kitchen are public use.
