Hostel du Nord

I’ll stay here again when I’m in the area.

Beds were snug but a little on the warm side

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.

We didn't stay to sleep there because it didn't have a private bathroom or shower and it was also very dirty at the entrance and they didn't give me my money back.

Generally very groovy. Bed way to firm for my taste. That's how it goes.

Outstanding establishment.

Quirky just like i hoped

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!

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.
