Experience the excitement of Chicago from the centre of all the action at this beautiful historic hostel, offering comfortable and contemporary accommodation in the heart of the city centre.

Situated in the south Loop area and moments away from beautiful Lake Michigan, HI Chicago Hostel provides easy access to some of the area's top attractions.

Wrigley Hostel is just steps away from Wrigley Field and only a 10-minute walk to the nearest public beach. Public Transportation is only a block away, hop on the 'L' at the Addison station to take you downtown or further north. Free WiFi is available to guests. 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.

They also kept our stuff safe. The rooms, showers and toilet were also really clean and you hade free shampoo to use too. If I ever come back to Chicago, this is the place where I will be coming back!
