Just a bit noisy is all - the opening and closing of doors in nearby rooms, and footsteps on the hardwood and creaky floors...it's as if the walls are made of paper. Wish there was a way to dampen that sound. Otherwise the place is absolutely charming and right accross from MIA (the Mpls Art Institute)Just a bit noisy is all - the opening and closing of doors in nearby rooms, and footsteps on the hardwood and creaky floors...it's as if the walls are made of paper.

I got charged $5.10 by Hostel World to stay at this hostel. I called at 8:30, and it only took 2 times to answer. I was in the car, I had no computer, so somehow I had to suggest to the employee and the hostel, named Charlie, to look it up for me. Well he reluctantly did. I told him I was going to be cutting it close, but I would make it. If I don\\\'t make it, I am going to have to sleep in the street.I got charged $5.10 by Hostel World to stay at this hostel.

This was my first experience in a hostel in years and I found the Minneapolis International Hostel to be a great alternative to expensive hotel/motel arrangements. I wished I would have had more time to explore the neighborhood.This was my first experience in a hostel in years and I found the Minneapolis International Hostel to be a great alternative to expensive hotel/motel arrangements.

I can see how lack of staff on duty in the evening could create problems. One man who showed up to check in after 10pm hung around outside knocking on the windows, trying to get let in, until midnight.I can see how lack of staff on duty in the evening could create problems.

When I arrived I asked the staff where I could park and she said that I was fine on the street but she failed to tell me that I had to move my rental car in the morning and it got towed.

My single room on the third floor was drafty. I was told the heat heated the entire floor, so nothing could be done. This was disappointing. It might affect my choosing the hostel again in the winter time.My single room on the third floor was drafty. I was told the heat heated the entire floor, so nothing could be done.
