Reviews

  • Vinko from Croatia (9/10)

    This hostel is perfect for a casual visit to Chicago. Great value for money! We booked 3 beds in a 4 persons bedroom. Had our own shower. The hostel is a 10 minute walk from the nearest L-train stop, so you can get to downtown quite quickly. There are bars and food places close by as well.

  • Lbyrne from Canada (7/10)

    The staff were very helpful and the location was superb.

  • Lars-erik from United States (8/10)

    Very friendly staff; decent breakfast; communal spaces

  • Christian from United States (8/10)

    I’ve been staying here for years and it is a great option for budget travelers or people who are less interested in spending their money on a place to sleep vs doing things. Staff is great and friendly and it is very clean.

  • Melinda from United States (8/10)

    We loved the location! It was in a cute neighborhood and off the beaten path of "Chicago". Our private room was cute and spacious for our needs. The shared bathroom was exceptionally clean and provided appropriate privacy as expected. The common area was super cute and gave a upscale "college" vibe (if that's the right comparison). We would definitely stay here again! Oh…if you like a ceiling fan while you sleep…this place had it!!!

  • Charlotte from Canada (8/10)

    Good location – hostel is in a quite area, but a 5min walk to a busy street with every restaurant you can think of. 30min by metro to downtown.
