Bunk+Brew Historic Lucas House - Hostel

Convenient location No railing on stars, gaps in door frames, bunk beds not put together correctly, and waking up covered in bug bites on a box spring mattress.

Thank you comfortable safe friendly place I did like the karaoke and it didn’t bother me that it was till 11 PM but the loud talking a few hours afterwards was a little annoying

Great location, great energy of conviviality The room was too hot at night

I was in a 4 person room and the room was large and my bed was super comfortable. One of the best bonuses to the who property is the sauna. I used it almost every night. Also, having the tasty food trucks on site was lovely. Nothing in particular.

Bunk + Brew was probably a beautiful place when it first opened but it looks nothing like the pictures anymore. I wish I’d read the reviews before booking because this is a party hostel and I was in Bend for the outdoor activities. I assumed being in Bend this place would attract mostly outdoorsy people but that isn’t the case. The receptionist was unfriendly and didn’t make me feel welcome. There was no tour of the facilities aside from pointing out which building I was staying in. The bunk room was terribly dirty and smelled like stale smoke. It wasn’t a comfortable, welcoming vibe but felt more like a dingy, run-down frat house. I went to the main house to look around and in a back living room area I walked into a few guys sitting in the complete dark, doing nothing…just sitting there. Probably on drugs, it felt very creepy. I saw that there would be karaoke until 11PM that evening and the stage for that was directly outside the hostel bedroom, which had the window wide open because it was hot and stuffy in the room. I had an early morning ahead of me and I needed to get good rest. I don’t mind sleeping in a room full of other respectful people, but this seemed like it was going to be a party-all-night kind of place. The receptionist said I couldn’t get a refund because it was within the 24 hour cancellation window. I booked that morning with the intention of staying there but this place is misleading and needs to update their pictures with the reality of the run-down and dirty accommodations that it is. The pictures are false advertising. When I left, I went out the back and noticed a few tweaker-looking vans/campers parked back there with sheets over the windows. As a solo female traveler, this was the only hostel I didn’t feel safe at.

.... Until.... at 3:00 in the morning I had someone desperately trying to get into the room and looking through the window. Apparently they give the empty rooms to the staff if they're open and they didn't properly document me being in that room. They were very nice and comped the next night. They definitely made it right. Thanks so much you guys. Good customer service

Sauna and empty spaces to call my own for reading I got a warm welcomed by Destiny and Jazz who introduced them self only, with much staff about

Excellent location just a couple blocks from downtown! The food trucks in the patio area have AMAZING food. There is a very social atmosphere at this hostel which is cool! If you are solo travelling, it is very easy to make friends. The hostel is a great budget option when visiting Bend. The cleanliness of the shared bathroom could be better. With the number of people sharing the facilities, it is somewhat understandable.

It was very homey, even with a very short stay, I felt right at home. Nothing to really dislike.

Great location, cheap, love the yard I stayed in the annex. It was filthy. The entire bed squeaked with even the tiniest movement.

Close to downtown. The property was filthy and drug ridden. They should call it Bud and Brew. People had marijuana pipes sitting out with their eeed in the kitchen. Also their karaoke night went almost to midnight downstairs and kept me up because it was so loud.

Staff was Helpful & Courteous! My room was Quiet & Comfortable! Highly Recommend!!! I have No complaints.

Bunk Drunk & Brew Club. No misnomer/ hyperbole here. It doubles as a DRUG/ ALCOHOL DETOX CENTER catering/ pandering to the local alcohol addled population, and house you with them, knowing implicitly who they are. I'd be grossly negligent in not reporting they need a good beg bug eradication company. Yes. The latter occupy the flea bitten flophouse, then have the unmitigated temerity to TRY to lay/ assign blame on to others for again their "LOCALS" glaring/ compromised hygiene. The onus was on this critter to vacuum my room. It's classic MOM $ POP quasi Hostel, who are pretty derelict/ negligent in thoroughly cleaning and leave beds no longer occupied unattended. It screams gross mismanagement. Specifically. two of the rooms were veritable pig styes. mostly a byproduct of their local folks with patent alcoholism. ? ? ? ? It warrants mentioning it's not HOSTEL INTERNATIONAL, where the aforementioned event's/conditions don't exist. Then their's the issue of questionable/impugnable employee's with borderline personality disorder and relatedly substance abuse, accounting for their behavior. This is just a snippet of opprobrium. I could cite too many to enumerate. CHAPTER, VOLUME. VERSE............. Bunk Drunk & Brew Club. No misnomer/ hyperbole here.

Great location. I personally liked the kind of frat house type vibe that they had going on inside. Good price ! Smelled like weed when I walked in. My room also smelled like a men’s locker room.

I did nothing but sleep there...in a room with others in a bunk bed. I did not expect comfort or privacy for the prive I paid.

Not much. Bund house has dozens of residents, one interior bathroom (all other bathrooms are fifty meters away across gravel paths), common area in bunkhouse seats three, other common area (sixty meters away) has a tv room dominated by gamers. It is nowhere near anything.

This place could be much nicer with some love. Great ideas of cozy community rooms, outdoor firepit, food carts, and a kitchen with some shareable staples provided. Lots of lockers, although they were tight on space. Immediately I was concerned as the desk person started sneezing, coughing, etc while helping check me in. I ended up sick. :( The whole place could use a deep-clean, especially my room. I chose the female bunk space which turned out to be in a separate building (annex), which was kind of a pain going back and forth using access codes for each building (which were changed while there) plus the room. At least it shows they care about security. The tiny kitchen space in the Annex was dirty and didn't make me feel like cooking, so I made the repeated trek to the main building to use that kitchen. It was larger, although sometimes too crowded to use, and somewhat cleaner, as someone could be seen frequently wiping down the counters. The bathroom also needed some cleaning. But the worst was the bunk room. Not at all like the pics online. It had stained, dirty carpet that looked to be at least 50 years old and looked like it hadn't been cleaned since it was put in. At least the bed wasn't bad. The food carts advertised on their website were all closed while I was there, so what's the point of having them? It was full of the younger generation smoking pot, yelling foul language, and generally inconsiderate, although I did meet a couple of people it was nice to get to know a little bit. Now, before one may think that I may be picky, I just returned from a trip to Japan where their hostels were amazing. Super clean (no shoes allowed), cozy beds, lack of noise, kind hosts. It can be done with some care.

Clean, classic hostel

Near Pilot Butte, a very beautiful view to the town. No room ventilation. Room smell is disgusting. I applied smell eliminator on my clothes and near my nose, trying to put myself into sleep to not smell anymore. I tried not go to bed as much as I could and woke up early to get out of the room at very early following morning. No light so I did not know how the room look. That night seems lasting a century. Low room price does not mean low air quality and low ventilation.
