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.

Sort of hard to figure out where doors and building is. Going in back door is best. Lots of things close by. Hippie feeling in a good way!

Excellent service with affordable price

Comfortable place if you’re looking for something affordable without fuss. There’s no 24-7 front desk but management is very responsive via phone. Relatively clean. People just need to follow the rules and keep common area clean. Most people bring their dirty habits with when they travel, but for the most part, the facility does well with keeping the property clean and safe. I have been here a few times and plan for more stays.

We had dirty stained sheets and someone removed the fan from our bed. Our charging cubby had leftover trash from a previous guest.

You get what you pay for!

This will get ya what you pay for. Quick overnight stay is what we needed. We paid for a private room, but the staff didn’t know if our room was private or not which we were concerned about cause there were socks on the floor and unmade beds. The ceilings were also not enclosed, which we weren’t expecting. Overall, good one night’s sleep and a shower.

In and Out, What a Breeze!

I needed a place to stay the night before NorthShore Marathon, and this fit the bill perfectly! I got in late but check-in was so, so easy and straightforward. It was cozy, clean, and comfortable. I felt safe regardless of sleeping with 30+ other random people. The little bunks were big enough I could store belongings with me, which was a plus. (They do offer lockers). They had single bathrooms with a sink and shower along with a separate area of sinks and a mirror. The common area downstairs felt lived-in and practical. The little kitchenette had useful amenities like a fridge, freezer, portable stove, handful of spices, dishware, sinks, dishwasher and coffee machine. I was able to park in their adjacent lot out back which was convenient. The hostel was about a 15-20 minute walk to the DECC, so I didn't need to worry about finding parking for the duration of the marathon. I booked this place the night before I came, so it was certainly a game-day decision. But I am oh, so glad I did. It was an unexpected massive highlight of the weekend. Thanks, Hostel du Nord. You've gained a returning customer!

So warm and cozy! Very helpful and friendly staff. Never have stayed at hostel before and such a wonderful affordable option instead of staying at a hotel and paying for things I won't use.

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!
