Seaside International Hostel - Seaside, Oregon

I had a great experience at this hostel and stayed there for the night while visiting from Portland for a weekend getaway. The loft room had a fun layout, and the staff and management were friendly and incredibly welcoming. The location was fantastic—right on the river and just a short walk to the beach. I also took a day trip to Astoria, which I highly recommend! I would definitely visit again!

Great little hostel right on the river!

A friend and I were in Portland for a week with no car, so we decided to take the Point bus and spend a night on the coast. Dan was so cool and fun to talk to - he even let us store our luggage before and after our stay.

The hostel was super cute and cozy, and everyone there was SO friendly. Met some great people from across the US and abroad. Loved the community vibe of this place.

Overall, this was the best hostel we stayed in this whole trip (better than both NW and Kex in Portland). Nothing fancy but great for those who want to socialize and get outside. Will definitely be back on our next trip to the coast!

A coastal gem!!! I had a lovely experience at the hostel when my friend and I stayed for a night while on a walking trip, traveling south from Canada to LA 😁 Amazing staff. Beautiful and quiet spot that is right on the water. Great commons areas and kitchen. All clean, well organized, and containing all the books, couches, instruments, spices, pots, pans, etc. to have a wonderfully full hostel experience. They even have kayaks &canoes that can be launched right at the property! Thanks for everything! 😁😁😁😁😁

Wow, what a concept and what an experience !
I've stayed in just under 50 hostels (17 to be exact) and this certainly is one.
I wasn't sure what to make of it when I arrived but as soon as I met the managers (Nathan and Daniel if I recall correctly), everything fell into place -- these guys are so invested in making you feel at home. They went out of their way to guide me round the local area, the beach, and hiking trails. They also take great care of the property itself (which has seen too many winters) -- there's a wonderful garden, a beautiful mural, an area for having a little campfire. And the staff are all involved in making sure you have everything you need.
I liked that the Olympics were on in the background as it gave it a very homely feel. (France did v well in the pool. They were deserving of a gold in basketball but the US just have one play of giving the ball to Curry which kind of spoiled the fun. Could Gobert have done more ? I'm not so sure, but the French are a solid unit and I enjoyed watching them. In track and field, it was quite surprising with Botswana winning the sprint gold!)

Anyway, this property would probably be pretty run-down and disappointing if it wasn't for all the effort from Nate and Dan. Thanks for making it a great experience!
They also look remarkably similar and easy on the eye 👁

A nice hostel that i booked via airbnb. Checkin process was easy as you just goto the office like a normal hotel and they take you to your room. Checkin is 4pm and checkout is 11am. Good size room with a loft so you can easily sleep 3 or 4 in a room if you want. They have off stret parking.

There were spiders in my bed both nights and my bunk area was dirty. The bathroom smelled of mold and was dirty. The kitchen and dining area was cluttered, dirty, and unorganized. There wasn't enough space to lock our luggage for each person in the women's dorms. Only the four lockers were supplied which wasn't enough for 10 occupants in the room. Even if I did lock up items in the lockers, they were small and dirty. I've stayed in numerous hostels abroad and this is the worst condition of a hostel I've ever stayed. Those dorm cubby beds are dirty and lacked air circulation. I would give this hostel a 0 rating. I would never recommend this hostel to anyone.

The best of the best! I’ve stayed in a lot of hostels all around the country and this one is great! The bedding is new and comfortable, and it’s so cool to have kayaks/canoes to rent at an affordable rate. Carry them right down to the river, and your good to flow! 😂 the big fire pit is also a plus, and having access to a fridge and kitchen is great, most hostels don’t even have a fridge! Staff is always super friendly, and quick to make great recommendations on how to spend your day at the coast! 🌊☀️

It felt like the place has so much potential, and after meeting the new managers Nathan and Daniel, I have some hope. Its a genuinely special place and I hope it remains that way.
