Eugene Lodge and International Hostel - Backpacker Hostel in Eugene - 970 W 3rd Ave, USA

I've stayed at many different hostels, and this was great for a quick overnight as I was passing through Eugene. Lucky for me, on a weeknight off-season, I had a bunk room to myself. Staff were friendly, common spaces were well taken care of, and other guests were respectful. Tall people beware that I hit my head on the bunk above me. Only request is for additional reading lights and outlets or power strips for each bunk.

This is such a cool place. Amazing hospitality and comfy rooms in what seems to be a really old house. The service is great and very helpful. Everything is very clean. The art and decorations inside are incredible. Almost like staying in an art gallery

Staff was friendly & knowledgeable, rooms were comfortable, clean, and wonderfully decorated. A breath of fresh air from the usual sterile hotels I’ve stayed at in the past. Reading room/library was very impressive with its selection, bathrooms were clean, breakfast options were mid, but plenty of great food and entertainment locations all around within walking distance. I’ll definitely be back!

I booked the dorm rooms not knowing that this house was where most of the employees where housed. Fairly loud & no space in the fridge, etc. So it felt like, as a paying guest, that this was more of an inconvenience! But for the younger crowd it is a great social environment! Now, considering I work remotely, the house across the street that has more expensive rooms feels more like an Airbnb! And is much quieter and peaceful! I should have booked one of those! Next time! Funky, cool, good vibe place, overall! Blessings everyone!

A great experience all around! A unique vibe of craft and local culture permeate the hostel to really give you a sense of the town your in. lots of shared spaces that are all very well stocked for their function as well as being clean an inviting to make yourself at home. Would most definitely recommend.

People working there: friendly, fast genuine and fun. Rooms: clean, cool, privacy curtains spacious Common area: a big big garden with different games to play and inside big and comfy as well. They even have a projector where you can watch movies together. This hostel is probably the most well decorated and furnished hostel ever. Maybe if they could add lockers it would be complete. But overall it felt very safe! Breakfast is also really good! Well equipped kitchen. Recommended

What a treat to stay at this hostel. I had a private room in the Tree House, which literally has a huge tree integrated into the front porch, providing a beautiful shady place to sit, write, reflect, play music, eat lunch, enjoy life. The Bloom Room has a small AC unit and the bed is super comfy. I had 2 trips to Eugene this summer and wouldn't stay anywhere else! So nice, I stayed there twice :) I tend to be a pretty shy person, but I had some really interesting and wonderful conversations here and loved meeting the people who work here and make it so special. Another great thing is the Red Barn grocery and cafe is within walking distance as are many other excellent restaurants and bars, it's close to the Eugene Amtrak station, and it's also within walking distance of a Eugene bike share docking station. One suggestion I would make is to think about facilities for people like myself who are coming through town by bike. Many people told me that bike theft is a huge problem in Eugene, so having a bike rack in the back yard is not sufficiently secure. Would it be possible to build or buy a small enclosed shed where someone could store a bike, or (even better) have a small section of the common room where someone could lock up their bike? Bicycling is earth friendly, I would strongly encourage thinking about ways to support travelers who want to have less of a negative impact on climate change. Hosteling and bike touring go great together :)

Stayed 1 night while paasing through Eugene. First hostel experience. It was good! The ecclectic look and feel of the houses, the amazing book collection, the assortment of board and card games, and the large open areas and open seating on the deck... all good! Checkin/out were easy, and the room and space were clean enough. Location seemed a little sketch with the characters wandering the neighborhood, but not unsafe (I removed stuff from my car for overnight to be safe). Also, Google was a little misleading and I had to use the address instead of the name to get the correct driving directions. Trains run overnight nearby, and can be heard through windows so I was tossing and turning a bit (light sleeper) but not a dealbreaker. I will come back to stay again next time I'm passing through.
