Staff members were nice and friendly.. everything was good
Donita
Helpful staff to first timers! Enjoyed the visit but not happy with the vibrating fan noise from upper bunk and loud stairway noise and laughter into the early hours from upstairs.
Zollie
Everything was really amazing. The location is superb. I recommend this place.
Roger
First timer staying at a Hostel. Didn’t know what to expect. Easy parking and friendly staff made it pleasurable.
Jenny
Very clean and had all the listed amenities! I would love to come back and stay here again, thank you!
Jeremy
We had a great experience and highly recommend. A great location in downtown and a great team.
Barry
The place was just what we needed. Clean and friendly. We will stay there again.
Patrick
Booked a last-minute one-night stay. The staff was welcoming and gave me a tour of the place. Great amenities, wish I had had more time to spend there!
Tiasis
Good stuff movies clean place respectful other tenant that stays here
Seth
Staff were very nice and welcoming, gave great recommendations for the area. Facility was clean inside and beds were very comfortable. Temperature inside was warm and rather humid despite the AC. Parking is very difficult if you do not reserve a space for $10+ per night, the area does not allow street parking overnight. Neighborhood is pretty rough. A few guests came into the dorm late into the night (2-4am) dropping cans of beer and making a fair bit of noise but other than that very quiet. Would likely choose a hotel if prices were only 20-30% more.
BRIAN
Bad staff
Kyle
Unique place to stay
David
Really chill atmosphere, great vibe. Staff and guests I met were interesting and fun. Will definitely stay here again.
Liam
Clean, comfortable and safe. Friendly folks. Great base to explore Duluth & the Northlands from.
Kathleen
Clean, nice setting
Monique
Reasonably priced
Really reasonable accomidations for the price. The bed was comfortable enough, the sheets were clean and the community use kitchen was handy. The only downside was that the walls didnt go to the ceiling and the noise really carried, so I would suggest bringing headphones or earplugs for sleeping.

Chelle
My first US Hostel experience. It was a busy weekend and the Hostel directions to checkin worked great. The hostel was quiet for a good sleep. No issues with privacy in the bunk area or bathrooms and no overnight disruptive noise! It was a great lower cost option in Duluth.
Just a couple blocks off of the walking trail and restaurants

Very quaint location and great distance from duluth hot spots.
Lana
People are kind. The artsy stuff was awesome. Private rooms are nice but there is still a shared ceiling so any noise would go through that way if your trying to have thaaaaaat much privacy
Patrick
It was my first time at a hostel. I really enjoyed the experience and the sauna! The staff were very friendly.
I didn’t have any noise distractions and slept great! They also provide fans for “White noise” if needed.
This is very conveniently located downtown so walking to eat was a breeze- lots of options since I was backpacking and didn’t have a car

It was the prefect stay for my social dad in his 70’s. He was thrilled with the cleanliness, the affordability, and the community aspect.
Jennifer
Well equipped for all my needs. Super friendly staff. Easy parking and lots to do around the area. Highly recommend going to Enger Tower and hiking around the area.
John
just a great culture of other guests. i felt a closeness and good about it.
Will
This place was great, for a hostel. Cheap, convenient, and quirky as I hoped. It wasn’t polished, but I don’t expect it to be. The furnace went out, but they comped 50% of the cost. The kitchen was fully furnished. Fun books and games all around. Overall, a great experience!
Maggie
In and Out, What a Breeze!
I needed a place to stay the night before NorthShore Marathon, and this fit the bill perfectly! I got in late but check-in was so, so easy and straightforward.
It was cozy, clean, and comfortable. I felt safe regardless of sleeping with 30+ other random people. The little bunks were big enough I could store belongings with me, which was a plus. (They do offer lockers). They had single bathrooms with a sink and shower along with a separate area of sinks and a mirror.
The common area downstairs felt lived-in and practical. The little kitchenette had useful amenities like a fridge, freezer, portable stove, handful of spices, dishware, sinks, dishwasher and coffee machine.
I was able to park in their adjacent lot out back which was convenient. The hostel was about a 15-20 minute walk to the DECC, so I didn't need to worry about finding parking for the duration of the marathon.
I booked this place the night before I came, so it was certainly a game-day decision. But I am oh, so glad I did. It was an unexpected massive highlight of the weekend. Thanks, Hostel du Nord. You've gained a returning customer!

Alan
There was no reception staff. Entrance very dark.
Paul
Dude who was on duty Saturday night was rarely at the front desk. Water station ran out and nobody refilled it. (We had to grab a half-open jug of water and poor into our cups) No soap, shampoo in bathrooms. Only 1 towel in private room.
No lock on bathroom stall door.
Overall, falling apart, not taken care of. Need more people to give the place some love and care.

Le Thanh Dien
The Hotsel is absolutely amazing in term of location, cleanliness and staff helpfulness and accommodation! The only and also a major complaint is the locker provided along with the room. The provided number combination works sometimes and cause problem twice that needed assistance from staff, which is not available after hour.
Cheryl
This hostel has multiple sitting areas, a great deck/porch area and an amazing sauna and cold plunge tub. Jake, the manager was very friendly and helpful.
Philip
It is your typical hostel. Just a bed and shared spaces. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and everything was clean. I would stay there again.
DEREK
It's a good hostel. The bed was softer-cushiony than any stay I had at chain motels and hotels in the past 10 years. I will stay there again. I had a private room for my wife and me. My car was safe in their lot.
Verified traveler
Excellent service with affordable price
Comfortable place if you’re looking for something affordable without fuss. There’s no 24-7 front desk but management is very responsive via phone. Relatively clean. People just need to follow the rules and keep common area clean. Most people bring their dirty habits with when they travel, but for the most part, the facility does well with keeping the property clean and safe. I have been here a few times and plan for more stays.

You get what you pay for!
This will get ya what you pay for. Quick overnight stay is what we needed. We paid for a private room, but the staff didn’t know if our room was private or not which we were concerned about cause there were socks on the floor and unmade beds. The ceilings were also not enclosed, which we weren’t expecting. Overall, good one night’s sleep and a shower.
Miranda
We had dirty stained sheets and someone removed the fan from our bed. Our charging cubby had leftover trash from a previous guest.
Bill
Sort of hard to figure out where doors and building is. Going in back door is best.
Lots of things close by. Hippie feeling in a good way!

So warm and cozy! Very helpful and friendly staff. Never have stayed at hostel before and such a wonderful affordable option instead of staying at a hotel and paying for things I won't use.
David
they don’t even have rooms available
Mckenna
When I arrived the girl who checked us in was any bring but accommodating. Online it said the property would have somewhere to lock your belongings. Upon arrival there was a locker but no key. We asked the girl at the front desk and she said she had “no clue”. We walked out and decided we decided we would be staying elseware for the night.i went back in and told the girl that we would like to cancel unless we could find a key to lock our stuff up she finished making her noodles in the kitchen while I waited for for 5-10 minutes for her to cancel our 1 night stay. She said she canceled it but I have not yet received a refund.
Was excited for a new United States hostel experience especially since it looked so cozy and in a great walking location on the website but in the end it put a damper on our night as we had to make other arrangements and spend extra money without even a partial refund. Will not be back and will not recommend.

Annex
First time in the Annex and I will never start there again. Building was VERY cold and it was even cold outside. a few of the stairs were loose and I stumbled on it the first time I ascended the stairs. Main floor bathroom was poorly done. Little privacy in the shower or first stall. Light was poor. No mirror over the outer sink. Lower bath fan was so loud you could not think. Mirror was off to the side and made it difficult to shave with. Sink would not drain, and was disgusting.
I have stayed at this property before in the main building and it was excellent.

The staff was friendly and welcoming. The lounge area was nice. There were lockers available for our luggage. The parking lot was a little dark behind the Hostel where we parked. Communal bathroom kept clean. Good price.
Saw William
They massed up my check in date and give my room to others so really inconvenient at first night when I got there around midnight. And they should change or clean most of their furnitures and accessories
Britney
Was very sketchy, I left because I did not feel safe. No privacy at all. Bathroom is all shared by the same people.
Ruby
Convenient location-downtown area, reasonably priced, full kitchen, quiet
Romeo
i was not aware about the setting of the place hence it did not suite my convenience.
Linda
Clean, quiet, affordable. Plenty of privacy in bed space and nice social space. Area is a bit rundown but there is good food at a hotel across the street
Thomas
The staff was super cool & professional.
Amanda
Liked the location and friendliness of staff. Very loud if you stay on lower floor and hear everyone walking above you
Hanna
Overall the staff and welcoming vibes of the hostel made it a very nice place to stay. It was a bit dirty in the shared toilets, but they provided clean towels so that was a plus. This was my second time staying at the hostel and I will be doing so again for sure!
Eliza

Paul

I never got there. They messed up their system for explaining to me how and I arrived in town at 1 am. They weren't answering their phone or texts. But they made me whole -- refunded what I'd paid.

It was easy checking in. It’s in the city easy to go around but it would be better if there is restroom in the room. There’s a smell in the building as well.

Outstanding establishment.
Jeff
Quirky just like i hoped
Kristin
There was so much to love about this property! It was a completely unique experience from all the other options we had to choose from in Duluth! It was a 5 minute walk from the DECC and within a few minutes of any store/restaurants that we decided to adventure to..not to mention, accommodate 7 people in ONE ROOM! The ease of getting into and out of the building was flawless, with keyless entry to each room! The kids loved being able to explore the patio, sitting area, community rooms and the shared kitchen! They LOVED the basement of the Annex, and tho they were in the middle of construction, they had it all well laid out, blocked off and instructions posted to stay out. The kids already suggested that we only stay there in our future trips to duluth!
Melissa
No rest for the weary.
I don't understand how a place charging $240/night for a \"private\" room can call themselves a hostel. That flies in the face of the definition of a hostel. The private room was more of a cubicle. The walls were super thin and didn't reach the ceiling. So if any other room turned on a light, all of the rooms enjoyed it. There was no privacy at all. The bachelorette party across the hall went on until 4:18am even though the hostel had a policy of quiet from 10pm-9am. Several guests kept shushing them but they hissed back. Alarms started going off at 6am and a group down the hall started slamming doors and having loud conversations at around 7:30am. Guests shushed the guys to no avail. I texted the gal at the front desk and she did come over to tell them to be quiet--also to no avail. So there was no way to get any sleep. A pile of face towels were placed in the hallway for guests but one guest took them all so there were none available for the rest of us. Bathrooms were clean and had soap & TP. We didn't use any of the many other amenities. It is within walking distance of Canal Park and downtown. Downtown is dying, with many closed businesses, abandoned buildings in disrepair, and homeless people. \"Free\" parking is located behind the building. I just don't see the value in this \"hostel\"--not $240/night worth. I've stayed in hostels in China and Quebec City many years ago for $3-$10/night and had much better sleep and a nicer experience than this.
Ryan
Our whole crew absolutely loved this stay! Soo affordable for a large group and very fun areas to hang out. Everything was very clean (beds, bathrooms, kitchens etc…) It’s 5-10 minutes away from downtown Duluth but has other little shops that are walkable distance. Service was awesome and very accommodating! Definitely would recommend!!
Thomas
The staff were great.
Anita
Friendly and helpful staff, great conversations with other guests in the common areas, excellent location.
JOHN
Hostel style hotel. Very welcoming and nice amenities. I got the Superior room, so my own private space. Roselle at the check-in desk couldn't have been nicer. Would stay again!

While I enjoyed my stay, it certainly isn't for everyone.
My cubby was comfortable enough, but if you are claustrophobic, you wouldn't like the beds.
The upper bunk can be a bit of a challenge to get in to, so if you have any mobility issues, ask for a lower. It would be nice if the ladder extended out a bit from the frame.
Despite privacy concerns, everyone seemed to respect everyone else's space, and I had no issues in that regard.
Certainly not a place for kids. Or if you expect a TV in your room to watch. But in terms of being a comfortable and affordable sleeping space for a solo traveler, it certainly was that.

Clean beds and courteous staff. However, floors were very dirty, rafters in the ceilings had cobwebs, and multiple broken items throughout the facility: our locker door fell off, towel hooks had fallen out of the wall, the small fan in our bed area was non-functioning. The curtain rod on another person's bed area had fallen out and was perched precariously. I did not sleep the first night due to the shared bathroom next to our bed being used all throughout the night. Host said he would comp that night but I was still charged. Property needs some serious TLC.

Nice hostel in Downtown Duluth, short walk to Canal Park and other attractions. Stayed 1 night in a shared space, clean & quiet, would definitely stay again.

This was a last minute option for me but ended up working out perfectly. Very clean and nicely decorated, this place has a nice vibe!

Maybe I’m too old and picky for a hostel.
Have never stayed in a hostel. Not what we expected. Pictures showed a row of doors, then bunks. Perhaps I am naive, but expected bunk/bunks in a room with a door. Not what we got. Check in took a long time. Nice people, but he should have stayed off the “Saucy” before working, not the only one there, lots of second hand smoke highs were possible. 35-40 years ago we probably wouldn’t have minded at all. We were put on different floors, so asked to put us together. They did change but we were still not even in the same cubicle. I shared mine with a male stranger, we were the only women on the floor with only a curtain across the bunk. Uncomfortable. We are almost 60 and over 60 & had to climb into 5’ bunks doable for us, but again uncomfortable. We still paid over $100 each for a double bed apiece. We’ve paid equal or less for some very nice hotels in downtown of the twin cities. On the positive side, I slept fine on my mattress. (My friend prefers a softer one) The decor was fun and artsy. There was a kitchen we could use (fridges really need to be cleaned out) and plenty of seats in the shared space. There was an area outside with seats and a fire pit and an area to park said on-site but was two parking lots away. Still it was easy to get to. It was an interesting experience that would have been much more enjoyable 35 or more years ago. By far not the worst place we’ve stayed but we don’t wish to do it again. Guess we’re getting picky and want more comfort in our old ages.

The hostel is very clean and quaint. Great place to sleep without the need and expense of a hotel room. Cool common area to hang out in too. Finding the parking lot was a little confusing but we figured it out. The information they gave us was complete, we were just not familiar with the area and it was dark out.

The staff were great and the bunks were comfy! People are really good about quiet hours, so sleeping there was pretty peaceful — just a few people who get up to use the bathroom here and there. Parking is also nice! $5 overnight I believe. Overall, I would love to stay here again!
