Bluebird Guesthouse

Loved the easy check in and check out- lovely rooms- fun neighborhood- quiet- peaceful!

Truly an oasis, loved the ambiance and the location.

I love the guesthouse and the location. There are quite a few nice restaurants within a short walk and I can walk to Mount Tabor, which I love. I like the communal aspects to the guesthouse and had a number of interesting conversations in the kitchen. Your breakfast food is high quality. The beds are exceptionally comfortable and so are the pillows! There was nothing I didn't like. I have been coming to the Bluebird and the Evermore for about 10 years, and it always meets a high standard.

Great location, parking was easy breakfast was good

mature, homely, and the benefits of a community feel of hostels! great location. best all day breakfast offerings (the b

Cozy, comfortable. Great location. Great access to all of Portland and lovely SE neighborhoods. Breakfast options were incredible too. Nothing. I loved it

Amazing property right on Division. We were in town to see a show at the Tomorrow Theatre across the street so location was 10/10. Easy access to the house/room and the continental breakfast spread was impressive. Would and will book again the next time we stay the night in Portland.

No complaints!

Well-appointed, tidy, easy in and out, easy parking, in a great part of town. Superlative. I bumped my head on the ceiling of the Kesey room; next time we'll switch sides of the bed.

Rooms were very clean and comfortable. I loved the house and its character. Location was great. Next to awesome restaurants (you have to try Cibo!) and not too far from downtown. Not a single TV in the place, which was a nice way to relax and disconnect. Breakfast was simple, but very well stocked and featuring local products. Would totally stay here again.

Great location, and loved access to kitchen and laundry

the location was really nice! drank my morning coffee on the front porch and walked to a bar across the street in the evening.

Lovely old house in a really pleasant, lively, highly walkable neighborhood. Clean, quiet, and very comfortable. We spent a lot of time just sitting around reading and relaxing in the house's common areas (comfy, overstuffed couches and chairs, gently scuffed antique tables and cabinets, quirky old decor, lots of books), even though there were loads of excellent places to eat and drink up and down the street outside. Excellent kitchen facilities with plenty of breakfast food and drink on hand. Highly recommended. no complaints.

Myriad breakfast options. Loved the huge modern bathroom (Elliot Small room). Great location for public transportation and restaurants. Nada.

Location is excellent. Parked the car and walked everywhere. Breakfast was great. Lots to choose from. The pillows were too high….uncomfortable for neck. Would be nice to have 2 of the 4 pillows flatter.

Staff was present without hovering. Everything was clean and welcoming.

Very cool and well organized. I enjoyed my stay

Very comfortable, clean, pretty and 24 hour self serve breakfast. No private bathroom attached to room.

Clean, comfortable, and cozy. Easy walk to restaurants. Would definitely come back next time I'm staying overnight before flying out of Portland airport.

No elevator

location

This charming B&B is located a short drive from Reed college in a neighborhood full of cafe, restaurants, funky little shops. The serve-yourself breakfast has lots of options (pastries, cereals, yogurt, fruit etc.) The rooms are named after famous local writers, and the Victorian decor is fun. Although most of the rooms have private bathrooms, in some cases your "private" bathroom is outside the room - you have to walk a couple of yards down the hallway to get to it.

Everything was clean and tidy, not to mention loaded with character.

Clean and warm. Nice location and a good value Nothing

Beautiful house, nice room, great breakfast. Cozy in so many ways.

Very comfortable and the location is ideal. Great restuarants, bakeries, bars, etc all within a block or three. Well worth it but there are a couple downsides. It's an older house so creaky floors, and its located on a busy road. No matter, we would stay here again for sure.

Is creaky when opening doors/turning on the bed. It smells old, and feels old. Private bathrooms can be outside the room, but the bathrobes were helpful.

comfortable! En suite bathroom was very clean and great lighting to do my makeup. Everyone was friendly, I highly recommended staying here.

Very comfortable, very clean, very homey, good staff, good location

Breakfast options were enough to provide variety. Lovely old house with nice main floor furnishings. Very homey feel and amazing location right in the heart of a fun, vibrant neighborhood with lots of restaurants and shops. My bed was a bit wallowed out - the mattress needs to be replaced. To access the private bathroom, I had to walk into the hallway, which was a bit inconvenient but not a problem, per se.

Excellent staff, room, breakfast. A remarkably interesting guest house with equally interesting guests.

They keep breakfast items at the fridge so they're easily accessible. The location is great - walking distance to a bunch of cool stuff. The house itself is pretty quiet considering it was built in the early 1900s and there are other guests staying. I slept well the two nights I was there. The contact people at the property are very responsive. My only regret is that I didn't book directly with them. I booked a room that has a separate bathroom and the logistics of that were difficult to get used to, it's kind of like staying at your grandma's house and you can't go out however you want to the bathroom because your cousins are down the hall

Great place to stay near Hawthorne in Portland. Check-in was very efficient, breakfast was great, and we had everything we needed!

Wonderful location on Division near great eating and fun shops. Walking distance to Hawthorne atop! Like a classic “bed and breakfast.” bonus for long stays: free washer and dryer! Friendly staff, comfy rooms (tho we were in the basement, not the best view).

The house is old and the stairs creak. I had a basement room and the noise was intrusive until about 11 pm. I would not stay there again because of this noise. They need to take remediative steps to make sure the steps and the floor do not make noise if they are renting basement rooms. I was very tired all day after trying to sleep there.

Charming historic home with personavle caring staff and respectful guests.

Wonderful location. Lots of restaurants nearby.

Great location nearest excellent eateries on Crossing Street and fun shops. Wonderful sweet room. Only complaints is there was this creepy light that shined over the bed for a few minutes when you turned out the light --super creepy and the people in the house above us came in very late, like 2am, creeking about so awoken and for some of us, it's hard to go back to sleep. Wash available if your mid trip and need to wash your things. Super convenient and cozy.

Great place. Right in the midfle of busy SE Portland. Close to so many great restaurants & bars. shops yet a respite from the clamor of the neighborhood. Great 24/7 breakfast/snack items. Quiet, cozy room & great batroom. Lovely, older decor. Staff was friendly. Bluebird Guesthouse was a real lifesaver during a difficult time in Portland.

Like the shared kitchen and breakfast options. Like the decor.

Bluebird Guesthouse is exactly as described. I had an issue with my room as I thought I had booked a room with an en-suite bathroom (per Expedia message). However, upon check in this was not the case. Tiffany and Chris were so helpful and it worked out that a room with en-suite bathroom was available and they were able to move me over. I was so thankful for their help! Next time I will book directly through the property. Otherwise, they had great breakfast options readily available. Other guests was so respectful and quiet at appropriate hours. I was able to find street parking in the neighborhood. And there are so many fantastic restaurants, coffee and dessert shops within easy walking distance. I would stay here again.

Gorgeous house, redone beautifully as a self-serve bed and breakfast. Right off the busline.

This spot is super cozy and Portland-chic. The historic home is beautifully maintained with some great modern additions. I loved soaking in the claw foot tub!

It's a charming place. I stay there often!

We were in the Gabriel Marquez room, the room on the first floor with a fireplace room right outside it. It was spacious and clean. The clawfoot tub was a bit difficult to climb in and out of, but the shower was good. The handle for the hot water is loose and fell off several times, but it still operated. I would stay here again.

Highly recommend. Fantastic hosts and excellent location. Easy access to a lot of Tacoma.

LOVED staying in this 1910 guesthouse! Craftsman style architecture, plenty of built-ins, clawfoot tub, sky-light window to fall asleep under…the house definitely displayed its age but well-kept and clean! Our bathroom was literally next to our room, which I wasn’t thrilled with at first, but really didn’t mind as the house was pretty quiet and private. Breakfast options were the best around and staff was friendly. I’m more of a private person, so the self-check in and check-out were perfect, and we were able to eat by ourselves in the enclosed porch area. I could see street parking might be an issue on busier nights, but we had no problem finding a space, and even if you have to walk, it’s worth it. Thank you!

Right in the heart of my favorite part of Portland. Comfy beds, very clean, cozy homey rooms. Really everything one could need. My only complaint is the A/C in the Kinsey room is loud. But in the middle of summer, you need to have it on.

It was wonderful

Would definitely return!

Lovely! Everything was very thoughtfully arranged--including great snacks, reading material, etc. Extremely pleasant in a great neighborhood to explore. Thanks!

We have always stayed in hotels when we have travelled to Portland in the past, but we have been curious about trying this guest house, and on our recent trip, we finally tried it. What a pleasant surprise! The room was very comfortable, the self-service kitchen was well stocked with various food items to feed the guests with cereals, fruit, coffee, juice, etc. It had the feel of staying in the guest room at a friend's house. Very sweet. We will stay there again the next time we visit Portland.

A great place to stay in Portland!

amazing

Very cute and quite really close to a lot of cute shops.

Room was clean and fine. There wasnt temperature control in these old rooms and the thermostat for the baseboard heating was right next to the window so the heat kept kicking on during the night. Took me a while to figure out the problem. The duvet was very warm and while there were sheets in the cupboard that guests could out on, making a bed when you arrive and are tired feels a little underwhelming. The location was great. The street is pretty loud and we needed the windows open for air so i would suggest ear plugs. Might be nice to provide these to guests. Was glad i had brought my laptop for watching tv.

We had an amazing experience staying at the Bluebird house. Breakfast was delicious every day with fresh pastries. The location is perfect for dinner or drinks and we used the bus system for our vacation with an easy pickup down the block. Would HIGHLY recommend this location.

Staying at the Guesthouse felt like a throwback to a gentler, more community-minded era. The room was lovely with a super comfy bed. It was the first night on a long trip of one-night stays that I slept well. The kitchen was generously stocked with breakfast supplies and snacks. Right around the corner was a food truck ally, had a delicious dinner (Indian food). Great neighborhood, but most importantly, the lovely, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere at Bluebird Guesthouse. Thank you!

I love this sweet, quiet, secure place to stay when I'm in Portland. Lots of charm!

I’m a person who loved privacy and this guest house was great for that. There was a coded entry and I never had to interact with anybody. Great location. I loved the creative touches like the Elliot Smith room etcetera. I would stay here again.

Unfortunately I could not find a parking spot and decided to abandon my stay and drive back to Tacoma.

Charming! This is where I come to stay when I'm in Portland!

My only reason for not giving five stars for property condition was that during the power outage of 1/9-1/10, the stairs to the basement rooms could have used emergency lighting of some kind--such as the cheap, battery operated devices that can be bought at any hardware store. The stairs were very dark! In fact, such lights could be installed in every room and corridor for very little money. Typically they are operated by touch and then turn on, providing limited hours of light during an emergency. Otherwise, I love the Bluebird guesthouse and plan more stays there this year!

I especially appreciate the environmental consciousness of the place, and the lack of scented and heavily chemical cleaning products -- except for the soap in the bathroom. I have allergies and I am always looking for non-scented places to stay.

I hope to stay there again

Charming and well designed remodel of an older Bungalow. We loved it, especially after meeting and speaking to the owner. Lots of choices of breakfast and snack foods. The room was comfortable and welcoming! Will return again!!

Depending on the room, some of the fixtures could stand an update, but on the other hand, they are all vintage, so that is part of the charm.

Beautiful guesthouse in a fantastic neighborhood. The room was clean and spacious, and the guesthouse includes continental breakfast and all day snacks. We will definitely stay here on future visits!

A fun, funky old house with kind of an upscale hostel feel. Individual rooms with private bathrooms, big communal kitchen with lots of breakfast items to fix yourself. Parking is tricky as it is street parking only in a busy and popular area. You may have to walk a couple blocks but felt pretty safe. Great location! Would def stay here again.

Very unique place, has some very nice personal touches with lights and fake fireplace outside the room. Very nice location for walking and finding food, shops, art galleries, etc. Donut shop up the street and great food trucks right around the corner.

I really appreciated the location and the ambiance of the guesthouse.

The room was lovely and comfortable. We were not prepared for the "private bath" to be down the hallway. Also, entry to the guesthouse requires an access code for the security keypad. We were told we would receive the access code in an email message but we did not find an email. We were able to connect with the house manager (there is no staff on-site) by telephone and were informed the code would be in a text message. Breakfast is available in the kitchen but is do-it-yourself. The guesthouse is in an interesting neighborhood with dining and shopping available. On-street parking is available nearby.

We loved this stay. The check-in hours were flexible and we were able to check ourselves in and not disturb anyone else, which was nice. Everything looked as it was listed. The private shower and bathroom were both small but nice. Everything was great and fir a great price!

This home is historic and lovely. The area is quiet and interesting. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Very relaxing and communication with owner very easy and clear. Beautiful landscaping with a humming bird's nest in a tree!

Parking can be a challenge but a lovely place to stay

So cute! unique, homey, friendly

Extremely comfortable stay in a prime Division Street location, close to most of the featured food and beverage shops. Fascinating unique home. Lots of common space and kitchen area and cozy places to sit and relax. Airport to within 40 yards of guesthouse with only one rail to bus transfer! Wonderful Stay!!

Great location!
