World-class cocktail bar on the main level: Pacific Standard, was the reason I booked and a wonderful place to end the evenings. KEX offered free drip coffee there in the morning as well, so it’s where my days began as well. Location is next to lots of dining and a few James Beard winners. Daily runs over the Burnside Bridge to the waterfront makes it a perfect stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at KEX! The room I was staying in was key card entry only and there were only 4 bunks (women only). I always felt very safe and that my belongings were secure. It's very accessible to downtown by bus and there are always a lot of Lime scooters outside or nearby. They have free coffee until 11am which was nice, and a bar that's open until midnight. I came during a pretty severe heatwave (40° C or over 100°F). The AC was great and the bar was always willing to fill my water bottle with ice water. Front desk staff were also extremely helpful and this is honestly the best hostel experience I've had so far as a solo traveller.

I loved the atmosphere. The lounge restaurant bar is utterly charming. Everyone was kind and upbeat. One hook would make a big difference! Oh and the head board repurposed from a classic craftsman fireplace mantle was brilliant.

This was a very nice hostel and I felt very safe. I stayed in 4 person bunk room with all women and it was very nice! The doors can only be opened with a keycard for that room. The sheets and bed were very clean and comfortable. I slept in the bottom bunk that had a little curtain which made me feel like I had my own little space. The bathroom was down the hall and was very clean.

Property was clean. Charged extra fee upon arrival. The female I shared the room with snored all night. Went down to lobby to change room, no solution was provided. Not sure how the hotel would address this issue. If you have sleep apnea/chronic snoring, get a CPAP machine! Completely disrespectful to the people you know you will sharing a room with. Hotel could ask this when booking. Worst sleep of my life and should have booked a room at a higher rate.
