The property was just fine.

Very close to many things to do in Duluth, but secluded enough to be nice and quiet.

It's expensive. It is at least twice the price of a typical hostel, and one could almost stay in a hotel room for the same price. That said, it was a very nice hostel, so I think the price was at least somewhat warranted.

Very clean. Wooden bed frames, so there is no noise when people go up and down. Staff was cool.

The vibes the paintings very quiet and amazing place and amazing people!

I was very rushed and could not have the whole Hostel experience of meeting people and hearing their stories. Next time I would book more than one night.

For me it was a nostalgia stay. I last stayed in a Hostel in 1987. It was too bad my former mates weren't there. I would like to stay again with a group of friends and be able to hang out and enjoy the area more.

Colorless once you go into the bunkers. Can use some "coloring."

Big Bunk bed, personal lights, cool front desk chairs, colorful entrance!

Good use of the space, sweet vibes, that sauna is dope and the bunks were pretty private. Great outdoor space, very accommodating staff. We need more places like this in north america.

Location was perfect, right in the middle of amazing shops and bars. The staff made it feel like a home.

my only complaint is the bed left me a little sore this morning. that’s it though, that’s genuinely my only complaint. i really enjoyed my stay

i loved the atmosphere and how nice everyone was

I’m arthritic. The ladder to the upper bunk ends at the bed frame at the bottom of the mattress. Getting down in the morning without falling was scary.

The coffee was excellent.

Stayed in July 2021

Nothing.

It’s was very nice. It had a European feeling to it. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Stayed in August 2021

It was fine. I was very happy to have options.

The staff and home like feel of the common area.

Stayed in August 2021

Location and amenities were great. Used the sauna and chilled out back on the patio thing. Everything was clean and staff was pretty good.

Stayed in June 2021

Memory foam mattress was terrible, one of the worst ever, zero support, rolled to the middle. Hostel was very dirty, dust on the lights in the bunk, floor was filthy, cobwebs in the corners, scum in the plunge pool, bathrooms yuck. Staff seemed very angry, were giving obscene gestures behind the back of another person checking in in front of us. Very unprofessional and awkward. Loud yelling at night.

Nice concept, common area was welcoming. Sauna.

Stayed in October 2023

The communal bathroom wasn’t the most private (prefer doors on stalls) and shower could use a bench or hooks to set towel/clothes. The carpets in the rooms could use a refresh/deep clean to match the cleanliness of the common areas.

Jason was fantastic with communication, and the tour of the facilities was nice - many many amenities that I wish I had time to use. The common area was clean and trendy. Parking was good.

Stayed in August 2023

Was absolutely shocked that all it consisted of was an old creaky building with a big room upstairs that had little wooden compartments (upper & lower areas with only a double bed & a curtain to somewhat conceal yourself). You couldn’t even use your phone or have a verbal conversation in there cuz there were signs all over saying QUIET TIME at 10pm. Mattress was uncomfortable & I was cold cuz all they gave you was sheets & a thin blanket with holes in it. And only TWO bathrooms for 20+ guests to share. Also lots of weird “hippie”-type decorations. Nope…won’t ever be staying there again!

$116/night was the lowest price I could find in Duluth for Sat night

Stayed in June 2023

Top bunk difficult to get into. Lockers near beds means you must be quiet if going to bed late or waking up early. Price is way to high for what you are getting. (Hotel price for a bunk bed? Please.)

Good location. Stylish and clean. Opportunity to meet others. Comfortable beds.

When locals in Duluth asked where I stayed and I shared Hostel du Nord, EVERY single person (3 women, 1 man) told me the same thing: the owner, Robert "Bob" Hugh Monahan (DOB 7/29/78), is a creep and can be "weird and inappropriate with women." They went on to say that there are have been no charges or convictions (confirmed via Minnesota Trial Court Public Access), but apparently his personal misconduct is a widely known open secret along with his other businesses marred with rumors of illegal dealings. I did not like learning any of these allegations and regret staying at Hostel du Nord for this very reason. Regarding the physical space of Hostel du Nord, the entrance to the hostel wasn't lit and a bit difficult to find. No staff were present to greet me when I arrived around 2AM. I parked behind the building assuming the lot belonged to Hostel du Nord, however, that lot isn't reserved for Hostel du Nord guests, nor did I see any signs confirming. After reaching the bunk number I was given via text, another sleeping person was occupying the space. I texted a staff member (Preston) and he appeared and informed me he set up a space for me on the other side of the floor. That bunk had a light fixture but no bulb and the thin blanket did little to help me stay warm. I left at first light.
