Eugene Hostel

We love supporting travelers from all over the world! A home for Artists, our hostel is filled to the brim with the art, music, and talents of years of work traders from every country imaginable. Located in the heart of the Whiteaker neighborhood, you are minutes away from the river, shopping, bars, restaurants, hiking, rock climbing, yoga and more! We have a Broadway theatre and endless cultural activities just a short bike ride away in downtown. We have bikes for our traders, and ensure 3-4 days off per week so you can truly get out and explore the skiing, climbing, hiking, beach, and city life all within 1 hour of Eugene.

Team board games, picnics, ski trips, camping, movie nights, and more!

You're traveling to experience, and Brenna (our owner, still in her 20s) gets that. Come stay with our family in our cozy little home!

We don't believe in sandwiching in traders and working you to the bone. Our hostel common areas are closed to guests every night to allow work traders space and time to themselves. We are working on plans to build yurts, icosa huts, RVs, and more in our backyard space to give every more flexibility to traders. We have a community garden you can tend and pick if you so chose, and we have yet to fail in honoring a request for time off. If you are sick, we are happy to put you up in our icosa hut for you to get better. You don't have to worry about being kicked out or left behind around here if you get sick or have an emergency come up. We ask for hard work, passion, and a willingness to create (systems, artwork, you name it!), and you'll find us here giving the same.

We were traveling as a couple and it was our first WorldPackers. We really recommend this place. The location of the hostel is unique and really welcoming. The tasks included were checking guests in/ out, cleaning, responding e-mail or project shifts. Everything is really well explained and you will always have some support.
We couldn't ask for a better place. The staff and the managers are the bests and they will make you feel like at home.

We genuinely loved having both you and Anet out with us Guillem. What a lovely couple and honestly, two of our most bright cheerful worldpackers. We wish you safe journeys and bright days ahead!

This is such an amazing hostel environment! The friendships I've formed during my stay here have been amazing and further shaped me of who I am. I would like to thank the mangers of Cholee, Adan, Mari, Sabina, and owner Brenna for providing an environment to allow us to be ourselves. They're always there for us in times of need. I hope to return in the future!

Leaving this hostel was the hardest thing ever, everyone here is so warm and welcoming and I couldn’t have picked a better place to spend my summer. The area is so cool and there’s lots of places within walking distance. All my love goes to Sabina, Mari, Chloee and Adan❤️ (the amazing management team). This place is my home away from home. Love and miss everyone!!

This was my first Worldpackers work trade, and I couldn’t have chosen a better experience. Over the course of a month, this place has become my home, and the other work traders have become my family. The managers are accommodating and really care about the traders! The work is straightforward and completely doable. The location of the hostel is just a 10 minute bike ride from the center of downtown. I love this hostel so much, and I will never forget my time here:) I miss it already!
