I always enjoy staying here. It's a clean and safe place on a quiet street, close enough to the lakefront to walk there and close enough to the city to do the same (lovely walk down Clark past the Newberry Library and Historic Society for places to stop midway), but near enough to public transportation (the Red/Brown line and 22/36 buses) to ride there if you prefer. It's also a place where everyone regardless of age is made to feel welcome. Good food close by too ... from Lou Malnatti's pizza at Wentworth and Lincoln (best Chicago deep dish) to Nine Thai at Fullerton and Clark (crazy good noodle curry).
The staff were excellent on my most recent stay on June 28th.
Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Clean, comfortable, perfect location. Professional and friendly staff. Definitely will come again
The employees there’s are very nice. They keep up very well with cleanliness, even with this pandemic going on, they do a good job. if anyone is in Chicago I would strongly recommend to stay here. It’s very cheap for the stay there for each night and they have a breakfast bar!!
The common room and available facilities were awesome
Very Cheap staff enjoys visitors in trouble. Bathrooms are not cleaned. Sink had blood in it. Staff enjoys watching visitors doing work and takes pride in ordering them even it is very insulting to visitor. Parking is a big issue.
The hostel was incredibly clean. I loved the neighborhood as well. I will definitely stay there again shen in Chicago.
Rude staff, I felt very unwelcome at check-in and it made my weeklong stay very uncomfortable. The room had holes in the ceiling and walls. There is a gross smell in the kitchen and throughout the entire building. Room was to come with bean bag and we never saw it.
Smelled horrible, bathrooms so far from the room. bathroom disgusting
great rate, great location, clean, relatively quiet, highly recommend..
I've stayed in hundreds of hostels, this one gets the honor of being the worst. Truly impossible to sleep — and the staff were unwilling to help or care.
