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.

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

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.

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!

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!
