Lolo Pass

Been to a lot of hostels in my time and gotta say, this one is incredible! Has to be one of the cleanest hostels I've ever stayed in. The guest kitchen is spacious, clean, lots of very nice pans and such. Good organization (labels, cabinets, etc) as well. I love dorms, but I have my dog Layla with me so had to get a private room. The room was so nice! Comfy bed, clean showers, pretty sound proof as well, nice view. Wasn't able to see much of the rooftop since I had my dog, but from what I could tell it had very vibes and a great view. Laundry room was clean and organized. Staff was super nice and helpful, I very much enjoyed the experience with them and at the hostel.

4.5 stars. My wife and I stayed two nights in a Private Twin Room. We will stay here again; we felt safe. Great value with helpful staff. Bus stop right out front. Easy walk to good (vegan) restaurants, Ota Tofu, coffee shops, etc. Basic and very clean room with no TV, carpet, desk, or drawers; we liked it. Firm bed with clean pillow. Soap/Conditioner dispensers full. Free street parking nearby. White noise generator included in room: choices of relaxing background sounds (rain, white noise...). Kitchen, TV room, and plenty of outside seating available on top (fifth) floor. Comfortable common room with cafeteria on ground floor. For me the heater was a bit loud when going to sleep, but I just turned it off at night. My wife didn't mind the noise.

I was super impressed by this hostel! I have stayed in my fair share of hostels over the years, and this one is possibly the nicest. They have a lot of amenities available, including on-site cafe and bar, a rooftop garden area, a laundry room, etc. My favorite features were the rooms, though. I stayed in a four-bed female dorm, and enjoyed that each bathroom was shared by only three rooms. And the bathroom had individualized toilet and shower stalls that were all really secure with wood stall doors and locks. The hostel also provided lockers that had built-in combination locks. Best yet, each bunk had a small privacy curtain, and you could actually control the thermostat in each room. (And they had A/C) I could go on and on, but I basically enjoyed that this hostel was loaded with creature comforts and little design features that just elevates it above the experience in most hostels. The service checking in was also lovely. The only minor downside to this hostel is finding parking nearby. I had to drive around a little, but I eventually found a spot a block away.

The one bad thing about this place is that it sets the bar way too high for hostels — after Lolo Pass, you’ll probably be disappointed by the next place you stay at. Super clean, convenient, and affordable. I found it easy to meet people on the rooftop or in the kitchen, but equally could find time and space and privacy for myself because of the setup of the rooms. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back if I’m ever in Portland again!

Definitely the cleanest, best maintained hostel I've stayed at! Very conveniently located right on the bus line and I felt very safe. The locker was plenty spacious for me and they will hold your bags if you have bigger luggage. The lounge area downstairs is super nice for hanging out and working, although the music can be a little loud if you're trying to have a meeting.

I stayed in a 4 bed all girls room. It was clean and spacious. The lockers came with their own locks. The showers were separate from the toilets and each bed had a privacy curtain and a small reading light. The aesthetic was clean and minimal, which I enjoyed. It was pretty quiet during my week long stay. The price was reasonable and the staff was okay, not the friendliest but also not rude. The cleaning staff was great though! The rooms, showers, sinks and toilets cleaned daily. There was a washer, dryer and iron available for use. There was only street parking available, my car was okay no issue. There's a coffee shop on the first floor, was cute and had a few tasty options. There was also a bar and a small art gallery. The common area was open and relaxing. Overall, I'd stay here again.

Incredible, especially for the price. Stayed in a 4-bed dorm and it felt super private. Everything was clean. Great location right on the bus line! Love the rooftop and being able to grab coffee and drinks right there. The only downside is the lockers are small - I was able to fit my carry on suitcase and a backpack in, but it was tight! But overall, so wonderful! I’ll definitely be back!

Best experience in Portland! Comfortable place to stay with delicious food! A super classy and welcoming hostel! I feel very safe here: the security measures are excellent and it’s in a peaceful location. The vibe is great. This is my go-to place to stay in Portland and it gets better every time! I enjoy making my own meals in the guest kitchen and eating homemade food with new acquaintances on the beautiful rooftop lounge—which has great views of the city. There are also in-house food and drink options which are superb: I had the most perfect melt-in-your mouth, savor-every-bite paella with fried eggplant at the rooftop bar/restaurant; they have excellent evening drink selections, and a delicious coffee shop for mornings. The staff throughout the hostel from front desk to housekeeping to dining are always friendly, helpful, and available. Lolo Pass has all the best hostel amenities (towels, high end bedding, lockers, privacy curtains, dishes, cool gathering areas, group outings to explore Portland, and the beds are super comfy—I always get the best sleep here! I’m so glad I found Lolo Pass, it’s a great, unique hostel experience.

PERFECT PLACE FOR... Their open space to work or study! Also enjoy the views + good weather from their rooftop. FOOD/DRINKS/SERVICE I appreciated that do they have a vegan/GF option, where I opted for the BLACK BEAN & LENTIL BURGER. It was pretty tasty but nothing special. I do wish they had more options for vegans. The views made it SO worth it! There is no service on the rooftop, but they were happy to take our order upfront + go upstairs :). BONUS POINTS What a nice + upscale hostel! I also appreciate they have free community events for the public!

Lolo's Pass - Rooftop Dining (ribs were delicious, highly recommend)... I give it 9 stars out of 10.

This bar would be perfect on a warm Portland day. I had come towards the end of the night when it was a bit windy. Either way, love the ambiance and a good rooftop bar. It's simple to order food with the QR code on the tables and the drinks come directly to you quickly. I ordered oysters, paella, and the fried croissant for food. I wouldn't exactly consider the paella a paella, as it was basically a pan of rice and random food mixed into it. Would not recommend ordering that. However, I don't know where and how they got the fried croissant but that made my whole night. It was out of this world! I'd come back just for the croissant.

A recent staple of my evenings is Lolo Pass. Since Lauren opened Lolo Pass, I have fallen head-over-heels for this place. The welcoming environment at street level is a perfect space for when travelers arrive, for folks like me who co-work from cafés, and for any newbie to Lolo Pass who is simply walking by. Stop in, check out the art, and grab a coffee! The rooftop is where Lolo shines. I have really enjoyed coming here once a week during the summer when the rooftop is basking in the evening sun and there's even a nice breeze. Spending solo time reading, hanging out with friends, and even partaking in one of their many events up there is a true gift. The bar is normally well-curated, and the food items are perfect for small plates and sharing. I personally love that Lolo's spaces are designed to host a variety of people. Especially with the low-priced accommodations, tons of different people from around the world spend time here, so making this a local meeting point is a fantastic way to make new friends, hear new stories, and learn more about each other. I am absolutely missing this rooftop space on these long winter days. I cannot wait to bring friends back here in the spring for great Lolo evenings. Thanks so much for creating this space!

If you don't know about their rooftop bar and restaurant you are missing out. Not only it's one of the cutest rooftop I have been to, the food is actually really great. The cheesecake with graham crackers drizzle is to die for - I consider myself having high standard when it comes to dessert and their cheesecake has to be one of the better things I have had. Also really liked the salmon. Tomato flatbread is also solid. Prawn and albacore I probably won't get again. Prawn wasn't cooked evenly and albacore dish was just a chaotic combo of flavors imo.

This review is for the rooftop bar: great cocktails, good selection of food/snacks as well, very friendly service. Low key ambiance with a pretty view of the city.

Attended Babes Benedict today. Comics not funny and food service was poor. First delivery of food was wrong order. Waiting 40 minutes for one meal, then had to flag down server for our other meal after an hour. They brought it quickly but cold. Won't go back.

This review is only for the rooftop bar. I didn't stay here -- just went up to enjoy the sun one evening. I got a cocktail -- was delicious. I sat at the high-seated bar area in the middle and then at one of the low chairs by the fire pit. Both were lovely. The view is nice, staff very friendly. You can tell it's got hostel vibes but it was chill. I ordered the beet salad and was surprised at how tasty it was! Good job, y'all! My only concern is that a couple of kinda shady folks came up there and kinda looked around for a bit - like to scope out things. I made heavy eye contact with one and he turned around and dipped. Will def be back.

I ordered the lentil burger. It was very mushy, and ended up having to eat it with a fork, and knife. It completely fell apart. The fries were soggy too. Not a terrible flavor, just not very impressive. I got three very weak vodka tonics (otherwise wouldn't have needed to order three), and then was charged $74. So overpriced. Very mediocre for the price. No part of my experience there deserved $74. The ambiance was alright, but almost felt like a college cafeteria that was decorated by someone who likes anthropology. I couldn't find a comfortable place to sit. I don't know how else to describe it. Service was also pretty average. Didn't seem excited to be there. I didn't try other items on the menu, so maybe I missed out on something good.

As far as rooftops go... it's okay. You don't really get a great view of the city but it's still a roof top! They have a limited selection of cocktails but all very delicious! We got the charcuterie plate which had meats, crackers, and olives. You order at the bar. We had friendly servers. It's is off of burnside so parking is of iffy. I am curious about the coffee shop that is below and will be checking that out soon.

LoIo Pass hosted a Yelp event partnered with Bhakti Yoga offering a morning yoga sesh in this beautiful urban space. The yoga class was rejuvenating with a calm, classic flow that felt really comfortable. Thank you! The yogurt parfait breakfast bar hosted by Lolo's kitchen was delicious! Quality ingredients served up here The roof top community space has beautiful views looking down to the river, even on a rainy day like today. This is an over all great place to curl up with a laptop and coffee or unplug and relax.

Really great fries and really nice employees! I went to the rooftop bar and I also saw a really nice dog up there :)

Bad attitudes. No smiles. No attention. Finally got someone to clear the table. Nobody wiping anything down. Had to get a stack of napkins to take care of my own space. Whole crew needs to be turned over. Zero stars.

Cool spot, and the downstairs is nice. Rooftop bar has a great view and is nice to enjoy on a sunny day. It's eerily quiet on the rooftop though. Not sure if it was just the day I was there but a little music would really help. I've never seen a bar/kitchen area so hushed. Additionally my friend's cocktail glass was only half full. Not sure if that was intentional or was an accidental low pour, but for the price we both expected a couple more ounces. Still worth checking out though. I'm optimistic the place will grow in popularity and excitement.

What a bummer of a place. Every time I come in, there's something new I have to complain about. First of all, I got TERRIBLE food poisoning, the worst i have EVER had, from here. Do not get the fish sandwich!!! Izzy is the only kind staff member I have met. All other employees are so rude about dietary restrictions and customer needs. The only thing that has kept me coming back in the past is how early they open during my commute, but I really am disappointed.

The first time I tried Lolo Pass I just stopped in to grab coffee. This time I was able sit and enjoy the squash bisque and almond croissant as well. The squash bisque was to die for! I believe it was vegan as well. The atmosphere is also wonderful, I love the design and aesthetic. I can't wait to go back.

I came in to pick up a to-go order and was met with such low vibrational, mean girl energy from the hostess. I hope she's doing okay emotionally but the interaction I had from her made me feel less than. I will probably never recommend this restaurant to anyone!

We came here to enjoy the first sunny day of spring and were pleased to find that Ruby Vineyard is offering wine tastes/glasses/bottles every weekend! We got a glass of the Chardonnay and Pinot gris and enjoyed it on the rooftop deck in the sunshine. There's also a bar for cocktails and a coffee counter open from 8-2. Perfect spot to soak up some sun while sipping on a cocktail or even enjoying a coffee and working from one of the many tables on the rooftop. It wasn't very busy when we went and we had plenty of ledge spots to choose from. Will definitely be back!

Lolo Pass has a great vibecc VCF and friendly atmosphere. Just stopped in for coffee before visiting a local church. Friendly staff and fun place to hang out.

The staff were helpful, friendly and just provided the best customer service I've ever experienced! The lobby area is spacious w a coffee bar and plenty of sitting areas.

I had read about the roof patio of this place and have wanted to try it so I brought my friends and we hung out for hours up there. The drinks are strong try the floradora and the spring fling. The albacore was a great mix of flavors. The plates are pretty small for the price, but the space and the vibe are worth it. I will add this to the summer rotation.

Fantastic drinks! I had a classic cocktail - Bijou - that was beautifully made and presented. And the new building? Big, wide windows bring in street clatter of Burnside but with minimal sound. Sofas and chairs create cool spaces for sexy parties of two or four. Lots of tables for peeps to sit and relax. Did I mention the roof top bar? Go now!
