I had a great stay at this hostel! The location is right in the center of Chicago, which made it super easy to get around and explore the city. Public transportation access was excellent, so I could quickly get to all the main attractions and neighborhoods I wanted to visit. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and it really captured the magic of being in Chicago. Overall, a convenient and enjoyable place to stay—I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Beautiful classic architecture, newly renovated, located in a nice, safe neighborhood. Easy access to airport and within walking distance to the local attractions. Lovely staff and friendly people.
Jessica, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hostel room was spacious and clean. The building is old and beautiful and has a lot of character. There are clean bathrooms on each floor with shampoo, conditioner and showers. The people working here were very kind and courteous. The rooms are only accessible by stairs, which was no trouble for me, but would not be accessible for others with disabilities related to movement.
