mftext works great (part of "abcmidi" package on Debian/Ubuntu/etc).
I generally use midi.el MIDI mode in emacs for looking at MIDI files. If I want to know MUSICALLY what's in there (I can't hear note numbers and timestamps in my head), I fire it up in Rosegarden and look at the piano roll, or if it's pretty normalized, in Denemo and have a look at the notes on a staff.
