Why Hostel du Nord
Our Advantages
Locally Run & Thoughtful
This isn't a chain. It isn't investor-owned. It's Us.
We're a small, family-owned and operated hostel that believes travel should feel simple and welcoming. Clean beds. Calm spaces. Good energy. A place where solo travelers, college kids and weekend adventurers all feel comfortable walking through the door.
Affordable Comfort
Canal Park hotels can easily hit $200+ a night. We're here so you don't have to spend your whole budget on a mattress.
Stay with us and put your money towards the good stuff, like lift tickets at Sprit Mountain, a kayak on the lake, a brewery crawl, a good dinner after a long hike. Travel should feel accessible, not expensive.
Explore Duluth
We're downtown! A 10-minute walk to Canal Park and Lake Superior. Tons of coffee shops, restaurants and breweries nearby. And all the entertainment downtown Duluth has to offer.
When you're ready for some nature, the North Shore trailheads, waterfalls and overlooks are just up the highway. This is the basecamp for people who want to travel a little differently.
