Short but sweet stay
Pros:

Had a great time at The Clyde. It was a single night stay and at the end I wish I could have stayed a week. Love the industrial feel and the location is perfect.

Best downtown Portland spot
Pros:

The room as so cute, it was so nice and had so many things for use if you forgot. The location is so nice it’s right near everything, the only thing is the homelessness crisis so be careful but the amazing security guard walked me to my car when I had to walk alone at night. The atmosphere is super cute, very vintage feel and they have a cute Photobooth you can use. I feel the value of the room was fair and I am so happy I stayed here.

Adorable & Centrally Located Boutique Hotel
Pros:

Probably the place I will always stay when visiting Portland! Around the block from Powell Book Store, this adorable historic hotel has a modern industrial vibe to keep you cozy while exploring the area.

The hotel was a great value too! The blackout shade helped my friend and I sleep soundly in one of the double bed rooms. The mini fridge had enough space for our Sizzle Pizza leftovers and we appreciated the extra waffle knit blankets for a movie night. The whole place was quite clean and the noise machine in the room made all the difference.

I was grateful there was free bag check as well as a coffee shop next door. Checking in and out of the hotel was a breeze and the folks at the front desk were very nice.

Perfect night to explore the Pearl and dance at the Crystal ballroom
Pros:

Perfect location to the Pearl and Crystal ballroom.

The Clyde is a great hotel
Pros:

Great location with lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The aesthetic and feel of the hotel is cozy in an awesome old building, with a vintage design that continues to the rooms. Competitive prices and an overall great value.

The Clyde Is My Favorite Writing Retreat
Pros:

I routinely stay at the Clyde when visiting Portland, and part of the reason I find myself returning again and again is because of the combination of Bohemian, bunker design, exceptionally helpful and friendly staff, and generally good vibes for writing. It is such a welcome environment, uncluttered and conducive to deep concentration, repeat with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Plus, it is conveniently located near so many things you would want to walk to in downtown Portland. Excellent restaurants, the fantastic art museum, and it’s just one block over from Palace city of Books, one of the most iconic bookstores in the world. Really the ideal stay.

Excellent customer service!
Pros:

Wonderful all around. Relaxing, low key, old school hotel. I’m so happy to see that it hasn’t changed with the switch of ownership. Excellent customer service. I accidentally booked my trip one day short and didn’t realize it until I was notified to check out. I panicked and contacted the hotel. They were able to extend my stay an extra day in the same room. Will absolutely be back.

BOOKED 5 DAYS, STAFF WOULDN'T LET ME CHECK IN THEN TRESSPASSED ME FROM THE PREMISES AND WOULDN'T REFUND ANY OF MY $500
Pros:

I made a booking on an app for this hotel.
I am in an emergency situation escaping DV and SA.
When I went to check in they said the date was wrong.
I asked the person at the desk for help to change the date to the right booking. They said they couldn't do that and to use the app. I tried and the app wouldn't let me.
The person at the desk got frustrated and told me to leave and that I was trespassed from the premises for asking them to do their job.
The app wouldn't let me cancel, the booking and the hotel said it offers no refunds.
I am Disabled, homeless, abused and essentially had $500 stolen from this establishment, which has made me have to sleep on the street for a week.
WHEN I PAID FOR A PLACE TO STAY HERENEVER STAY HERE - THEY ARE BIGOTS AND THIEVES.

Avoid the pain
Pros:

I had a horrible interaction with a hotel staff person there. She had hate in her heart and on her face. I didn’t enjoy being mistreated by an employee at the Clyde. Separately, there was no hot water for the entire stay and she was most certainly unapologetic.
The neighborhood is sketchy and security there is nonexistent. I don’t recommend the Portland Clyde by Kasa.

Not mad just disappointed
Pros:

Feels like a hostel. No front desk, security, or housekeeping presence feels a bit eerie and unsafe. There is keypad entry to both the building and rooms.
The tv didn’t work, shower head in my room was mounted ridiculously low and after a 16-hour day I found that there was no hot water and they didn’t know when it would be back on. I walked to another hotel at 9pm and stayed elsewhere so I could simply take a hot shower. Won’t stay here again or recommend it. The photos and online presence are much nicer than the actual property.

Come visit this gem!
Pros:

What a gem! Fun, funky boutique hotel. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Loved all the little details in the room including beverages, white noise machine, claw foot bath tub, spacious room, and tokens to use at the adjacent coffee shop. Easy walking distance to great places in downtown Portland including Powell’s Book Store. Close by options for secure parking garages. Easy check in/out process. Building is secure after 10pm - use of a unique code gets you in at night.

The rich and the poor in harmony near every door.
Pros:

Beautiful Hotel. A blast from the past in the heart of Portland OR. Hotel staff are amazing to work with. Parking on 12 Street was easy too.
Take your parking ticket with you and scan your ticket at the Whole Foods Market for a big discount on the parking fee. Great food.

For young travelers and city explorers!
Pros:

Amazing location for young travelers. It's right in the downtown area and close to a lot of attractions in the city. Self check-in was very easy and staff were available for you at the front desk which is very convenient. We had the King Suite and oh boy! What an amazing stay! Very pleasant smell down the hallway and into the room. Bath tub was clean, living room was huge, bed was comfortable and the view of the city was spectacular! The cafe attached to the hotel was very convenient for a to-go morning coffee and pastry. Lobby area was huge and play room was an easy access for guests waiting. I would definitely recommend booking here if you're up for an adventure!

Did not live up to expectations or match online images.
Pros:

Unfriendly staff who seemed annoyed when asked for common amenities like ice.

My partner requested a bottle of champagne be in the room when booking and received a confirmation from staff they would be able to accommodate his gratis. No bottle was in the room on check in.

My car was broken into across the street and when I asked the attendant if they had cameras for filing the police report their response was "that's why we told you not to do street parking". A wholely unprofessional and unnecessary response not relevant to the question. I double checked my email confirmation and there was no mention about avoiding street parking. Only that they recommended a garage down the way.

The room was bare bones yet serviceable. Double the salary of your photographer because they portrayed the rooms as much warmer and more inviting than they were in reality.

The lobby had a chic vibe and nice styling. Two tokens were provided in lieu of coffee options in the room or the lobby. These tokens offered a discount at the adjoining coffee shop which had great coffee. Yet we had two people for two nights and it didn't substitute for basic amenities.

Would not recommend. Pay a few bucks more and stay at the McMenamins down the road.

Pros:

Totally enjoyed my stay at this quirky hotel. It was perfect for me in every way. It may not be for everyone, definitely not a cookie cutter hotel room, but I found it cozy. I enjoyed soaking in the clawfoot tub after a long day of traveling. The bed was comfortable. The coffee shop attached to the lobby was good and very convenient. It was an easy walk to most things I planned to do and transportation options were easy to access when needed.
