There is no wifi in my room, only in the public space. There is also no hairdryer available.

The location, the restroom, and the public space are good. The staff is excellent.

The creaking of the beds.

The bathroom.

Stayed in August 2023

The room is very small for over $200. the beds were uncomfortable, the bathrooms down the hall, the vending machine refused to give us water and instead gave us soda no matter which buttons were pushed. I know Chicago is expensive but this is way overpriced for what you get. They'll keep your bags for you if you need but will charge you for that too.

Location only.

well it’s a hostel so u can sleep there, that’s basically it

really central and easy to reach everything and bathrooms etc were clean there was a cute community room

Stayed in July 2023

Unfortunately we was on top floor so lots of stairs and it was hot. A fan would have helped however it’s summertime in Chicago but this didn’t effect our stay

The property suited our needs and room was good size

I do wish there was a way for the upper floors to have a better air conditioning system but understand that the building is old. I packed a smaller suitcase because of reading the reviews about the amount stairs. Those reviews are correct, it’s a lot.

Greektown, staff was nice and efficient, everything was clean. Location is very close to public parking and the loop. 9 Muses and Artopolis are both excellent nearby food choices.

The share room but it was okay

The bathrooms most killed

The only thing I didn't like were the stairs and the carpets in the hallway, but that's a personal issue as I have allergies.

Great location! Close to L-train and bus stop that goes straight to the city centre. Next to that it's a 10 minute walk to Union Station. Complimentary there was coffee and tea all day long, which I really appreciated, for sure in the morning. The staff was also really nice and helpful.

It's an old building, but nothing inside besides the staircase looks like it. It was comfortable, within walking distance from various lunch/dinning options and the pharmacy. Nice staff and free coffee.

The room shared by 8 females was really stuffy and no ventilation. There is a functional ceiling fan but the windows were shut and I would have loved a bit of fresh air in to the room.

It is very close to the Chicago bus station and you can easily walk to the Blue line train station from this hostel. Free breakfast items like coffee, tea and hot chocolate. The kitchenette is neat and you can always get food items from whole foods store that is just 5 to 10 minutes walking distance from the hostel. It is located in a good neighbourhood and you can take a walk in the evening.

Refurbishing of 2nd floor looks wonderful; but the door to the women's shower/toilet room is poorly hung & thick paint & cannot be closed.

I wish there had been an elevator. It was stuffy in my room. An overhead fan would have helped.

There was alot of stair climbing. I wish there had been an elevator. I really liked the secure feeling and privacy. The staff was exceptionally helpful.

A bit expensive for being a hostel.

Friendly staff, great location, close to the blue line (o'hare airport connection).

Stayed in May 2023

Door very hard to open. Many layers of paint at top & hard to close far enough to latch & hard to open, especially from the inside. No hot water for the shower at 9 pm.

Room clean, bed comfortable. Nice day room, functional group kitchen.

Great location; 10 minute walk to Willis Tower and a 2 min walk to UIC-Halsted (Blue ‘L’ line) Walgreens and Target are very near as well as a couple of breakfast diners Staff were lovely and super helpful

Stayed in May 2023

Because it’s a hostel, it’s pretty barebones in the rooms. Not necessarily bad, just good for people to be aware of it.

The location was good and it was easy to check in.

Stayed in May 2023

the bedroom door was not good and kept sticking making it difficult to open

excellent location, comfortable bed and the common was a place to chat to fellow travellers

Stayed in May 2023

there was a lot of dust on the stairs

Located near the city center, the rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are really clean.

Stayed in April 2023

They are renovating the rest rooms and shower rooms so there is some construction on the 2nd floor now.

Stayed in April 2023

No elevator and no breakfast compared to other nicer cheaper hostels in the area. Plus, it was cold and when mentioned it to staff he said he would put temp up to 70..Heck that's still cold when it's 39 outside especially for tourists not use to that cold temp..Temperatures should be at comfortable level for guests ..

Location to bus
