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 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

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!
