Recent guest reviews

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.

There was no water Thursday night into Friday morning. I left and it had not been resolved. When I checked in, my bed was not made. They were the same sheets as the previous occupant. It was a very disappointing experience.

The common spaces are awesome and have a great vibe! The double bed “cubby” was more spacious than I expected and very comfy. Appreciate that all the bathrooms are singles.

Lovely place, friendly staff. It's a tidy setup. Nicer than a lot of hotels

The hostel was very well maintained and sufficient for our 1 night stay. Quite a fun and unique experience.

Cats and dusty at the mattress edges. Sneezing in the morning. But other than that. Julian the host was helpful in making your stay comfortable. Great guests and good vibes. Im too old for bunk ladders. Get a bottom bunk and away from bathroom.

Clean kitchen, bathrooms and bedroom areas. Quiet seating areas. Kind and respectful staff and guests. Comfortable, quality bed and pillows. Love the fresh ground coffee in the morning and opportunity to start my day reading poetry from one of a collection of books.

I loved the sauna! So great for a hostel to have one. It was also very central in Duluth and easy to get around.

I really enjoyed my trip this time, I woke up so well rested that the very next morning I walked around the city , found new places , took a lot , a lot of pictures and the best part of it. ... I spent a really good time with my daughter !! I love this place and the perfect location . Thanks

Great friendly staff cool spot will recommend and return

This hostel was way more accommodating than I had expected, the staff were amazing and the place was very hip and clean. I had a very good experience here and would definitely recommend it.

Great! Modern, clean, comfortable, convenient! Near downtown and lake walk.

Very quite and respectful environment, clean kitchenette and the bunk/lockers are great and there’s a Sauna . I’ll be back soon, it’s in a great location, surrounding area is quiet and clean , ppl is very kind , you’ll love your stay there .

Oh, boy...Well, we did comp the night (perhaps the refund hasn't hit your account yet), and made every concession to ensure you had the best possible stay, including: fixed your locker door within minutes, moved you to a quieter part of the hostel, and immediately addressed your issue with the guest who wasn't using headphones after 10pm. We did our absolute best. Here's the kicker: you ended up paying 1/2 the price of anyone else staying in the hostel, which is 1/4 of the price of any other place in town. We appreciate the feedback, but we respectfully request that you do not come back. If the hostel were a human being its feelings would be very hurt. Take good care, Leslie ("Not someone would EVER leave a scathing review.")

Hi, Jon. Thank you for the feedback. The water issue was a bummer, though we did feel it was a (non-intended) bonus that folks experience what it's like to not have running water for a single evening of their entire privileged lives. When you checked-in (which we allowed you to, muchh earlier than our normal check-in time), we explained that your bed would be made by 3pm (normal check-in time) which it was. Our apologies that your stay did not go as you expected. We hope you will come back and give us another shot. Take good care, Jon <3
