Great place to stay, less expensive then other hotel options. We will thought it was a bit expensive for a hostel but we had our own room so that was great.

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.

Stayed for one night. Room was clean, bedding comfortable, bathrooms clean, common areas clean and comfortable. I would stay again.
Brittany, 1-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.
