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.

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.

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.
