The rooms were very cold and a little run down.

I enjoyed my stay plenty, yet the functionality itself could use more detail to the traveler. Just simple things like hooks and cubbies in the places we spend the most time like the bedroom and bathroom would be nice.

The staff and service fell below expectations. I had to move rooms, and they were unhelpful and not at all understanding and were rather unpleasant personally. The cleaner was actually rather nice, though, and would be a better presence interacting with guests than the male in the office. This was actually my second time there, and I had assumed that the first was just a bad shake, but the shoddy customer service and frequent absence of staff was upsetting.

We are sorry you were dissatisfied with your stay. Can you tell us whether it was during one of the three room-changes for which you were consistently late or when the male in the office granted you unasked-for lenience in the matter of luggage storage that you experienced unhelpful and shoddy service so that we may prevent this in the future?

Location is really good, close to Bus stops and to Downtown Minneapolis. The rooms are ok, quite spacy, no bunk beds, but not so clean. The bathrooms are old, the shower spills all over the floor and its relatively dirty. The kitchen is big, but doesn't even have a microwave. As it's the only Hostel in Minneapolis, it's ok, but not really great.

Only good thing is it is cheaper than hotels . Stayed at a single room, very dirty .. When I asked to switch she said this is the only one ... Unfriendly staff .. The cleanly lady came in the room opening the lock (it was fishy)... No sugar or Cramer for coffee ...

Pretty unfriendly staff and worst check-in hours ever. I wouldn't recommend staying there, but it is the only hostel in Minneapolis/ St. Paul....

Enjoyed chatting to staff - a friendly and professionally run place. Bit quiet.

Possibly because it was the off season, but this hostel was deserted, staffed by surly people and lacking in any sort of friendly vibe. I've stayed in many hostels and I was truly disappointed in this one.The house is beautiful and right across from the Minnesota institute of art, but the welcome the staff gave was terrible. They were not helpful in picking a restaurant or things to do and they just ignored my presence. The entire house is covered in "do not do this or we kick you out signs" Ugh

There are only two signs hung in the house that threaten eviction, both related to house security.

.It was a good stay. It is a really nice house in a very pretty area. I was able to park on the street. My room was clean and comfortable. I didn't use the facilities because I was visiting family but next time I will be using the beautiful kitchen. The staff was pleasant, and didn't bother me . I came and went as I pleased which is what I wanted.
