This place is nice, close to Union Station and the Blue Line (for getting g to Ohare). The room was clean, the AC was cold, and the multiple shared bathrooms and shower rooms were well maintained. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided. There was a dinette and lounge available to prepare small meals and coffee/tea. Wonderful stay and great location with lots of walkable things to do.

It was clean and the staff is nice. Highly recommended, especially for Solo travelers.😊
Verified review

4/10 Fair

The absence of an elevator was a major drawback, as guests are expected to carry their own heavy luggage up the stairs. This is quite unacceptable and difficult to comprehend in this day and age. The Wi-Fi was adequate, and the room cleanliness and staff cooperation were satisfactory. Overall, while the basic services were acceptable, the lack of an elevator significantly affected the convenience of the stay. Thanks

The staff in communication was excellent. It’s the cheapest place you can stay in downtown Chicago. The carpet was not clean and in desperate need of updating. The kitchen was a little chaotic. But hard to complain when the price is right!

We got a private room and it was clean and pretty spacious for a hostel. The ceiling fan in the room was perfect to keep us cool at night.

Only stayed one night, and I had a very smooth experience. I stayed in the one-person private room. The showers and the restrooms were really good and clean. The staff was very helpful. It is in the Greek neighbourhood, so there are some really good restaurants around!

Staff were nice and accomodating, despite me arriving earlier than my check-in time. I'd recommend shower shoes and a towel, as the place charges a small fee for a towel, and the showers are communal.

The room and the location were great! Access into the front door was difficult as 1) steps only 2) door could not be held open (auto closed) 3). I rode to location from Airport on bike and did not want to leave bike on street overnight. Brought it in with some difficultly and only Place to store it was to pay for back room lockup overnight. Access to bike was at 0900 in am when front desk opened. I made it work tho inconvenient and $6 per night.

The toilets and showers were clean, but it felt like there were not enough. The beds and sheets and covers were much nicer than usual at hostels. The location is fine, walking distance from Union Station and (a bit longer a walk) from the Blue line.

ou pretty much get exactly what you pay for here—this is a classic hostel-style stay. Expect bunk beds, shared vibes, and a simple setup. That said, the beds were clean and comfortable, and each guest gets a locker, which is always a plus for security and convenience. stayed 1 night , friendly host at reception.

One of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed in. Rooms and shared spaces were clean, guest population was diverse, kind, and mostly quiet.

A surprise for sure. The room was clean the bed and linen were very nice. The Bathroom and shower are communal but very clean. There is no elevator so you need to use the stairs. I was on the top floor 3rd floor. And there was someone who helped me with my luggage. This place is .4 miles of mostly flat ground from Union station. And .7 miles from OTC metra station. There are some great eateries close by.
