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.

I love this hostel. The location - that’s Wrigley Field, right on the doorstep, and the rest of the area is similarly lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful and two of them led us wonderfully astray on a crawl of Wrigleyville’s bars. Transport connections to the city were very close and very easy. Do-Rite Donuts around the corner for breakfast. Literally a perfect pied a terre for experiencing Chicago

Long review; LOCATION: ten minute walk to jewel grocery store ( there is a full service Huntington bank inside), lowes, beauty supply store and Popeyes. There is a bus stop in front of building. Walmart on North Ave is about 30 min bus ride STAFF is polite and respectful of your space and belongings. they looked professional and were well groomed.they never grumbled when I made a request. Special shout out to Misty and Stephanie. KITCHEN Is modern,clean and well lit.has a stove, fridge. microwave is above stove so be mindful if u have shoulder issues. There are plates, cups,spices etc. to use. SLEEPING mattress/pillow are comfortable medium firmness and fresh smelling. Bed does not creak when u move. SHOWER/BATH clean, no gunky stuff btwn the shower tiles. One bathroom has a tub/shower. The other has a shower only. water pressure is good- no frustrating trickles FOR THOSE WITH SENSORY ISSUEs It is well lit but with a " gentle" light. Very low noise level,no outside traffic sounds. No weird smells. Blankets are warm but slightly rough? on the skin. TL/DR book here. you will be glad u did

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.
