Staff is pretty friendly and helpful. The location is great, there are lots of great bars and restaurants around. It's just 3 mins away by walking from the redline subway, which operates 24/7. So it's also very easy to go downtown. It was a great experience to stay in Wrigley Hostel.

What I liked the most was Shirley! She made me feel at home, I was alone and she was perfect! I also really enjoyed my stay: clean rooms, clean bathroom, great breakfast! I’ll definitely come back.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Clean comfortable beds and room. Great location, walking distance from regional trains and metro. Always worth the visit. A better breakfast than I’ve had on previous visits. Safe. This hostel looks and feels safe.

The entire facility was very clean and safe. Great location within walking distance to a lot of sites and great transportation options nearby. I liked the privacy of the curtains for each bunk bed.

Gorgeous Patio! Don't expect any breathtaking views, but expect a great patio to eat your lunch/breakfast and hang out with other guests! Hostel has quiet hours and is not generally a party hub. Guests were all very respectful. The hostel has a very strong college dormitory vibe to it. Making it easy to meet new people and make friends. Great for a solo traveler. The average age of guests was pretty well under 30, but there were some travelers over 30 as well. Free Breakfast on weekends!

The staff was very nice and I could check in earlier because my bed was already ready. Everything is clean and spaceous. It' located in a safe area and the Hostel makes sure that only guests can enter. It's very cheap and you get a lot for the price! The WLan is working perfectely. They have a huge kitchen. There's a restaurant right next to the Hostel. The Hostel is located perfectly! There's a underground trainstation just around the corner. Very well done.
