What a great find in Duluth! The bed was comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, the shower water was hot, and the kitchen area was appreciated. The staff were so kind and helpful! I enjoyed the bar, gift shop, and outdoors focused ambiance. The only downside was that I could hear my neighbors at times, but for the price and value it wasn't a big deal. I'll be back!

Trendy and beautiful, not practical for everyone.

This is a beautiful new hostel. Please don't expect a hotel. The amenities are super trendy and new, but basic. Ok for the price but not great. While the rooms are separate, there is a lot of shared space and absolutely no soundproofing, as you should expect from a hostel. This is a great space for young outdoorsy types or travelers. I would not recommend this place for kids, and especially not babies. Bring earplugs!

Staying at this property was the worst traveling experience I’ve ever had. After 14 hours hiking & on the road, we arrive at this “camp” & cannot access our room. The code texted to me by the “offsite staff” doesn’t work. No problem, call the staff. Well, that only works if the offsite staff answers their damn phone. Then, the staff acts like you’re rude for bothering them. Their app operated locking system is jank. We had trouble all weekend. Other guests were smoking weed (legal yes but my 5 year old probably didn’t need to be in their cloud of it) in the common areas & partying like it was their own personal space. Absolutely no one on site to manage it. Then they’re all hung over at 10:00 am so screaming at you if you make noise in the common areas even when “quiet hours (joke)” are over at 9:00 am. This place is a disaster, not a safe place. Even the firefighters next store were talking about how poorly managed it is. Very strongly would not recommend.

Simple and comfy. Affordable too! Bathrooms were not always available at convenient times and you can hear everything from other guests but it is a lovely place to stay affordably.

Room access via phone app was terrible - 1/2 of the time door would not unlock when device was pressed against it. Eventually it worked but only after multiple attempts. This marred an otherwise great experience.

A Must Experience! You won't be disappointed.

Zenith Basecamp is one of the most intelligently designed and built hostels I've ever stayed in. I've been traveling the entire world extensively since 1993, and stayed in many hostels. I took my daughter there for her 6th birthday recently, as a launch pad for hiking and rockhounding in the North Shore. The thought that went into this place + the build quality can't be understated according me. Whoever built this place is cool as all get out and very thoughtful. The value for the price is unrivaled in the area, assuming you like hostels environments. This place designed to attract cool and thoughtful people, and it does.

I liked the hostel setup. Private room, individual bathroom/showers. Not at all like a college dorm, for instance. But more interesting than a chain motel. Good restaurants as well as fast food and gas stations within a block’s walking. Sweet cozy cocktail bar downstairs.

I thought the property was very nice, comfortable, and everyone was very nice! Truly, my only complaint is that you can hear EVERYTHING in the rooms, even from other guests down the hall. Most of the time, the noise level was okay, but there were some very inebriated and boisterous guests up all night during our stay who made it impossible to get any sleep. Other than the noise, the stay was great!
