I've stayed long weekends here numerous times for a reason: It's clean. It's safe. It's friendly. It's centrally-located to so many things you want to do in the city. It clicks all the boxes for me.

The Chicago Getaway Hostel was perfect for a quick solo trip! It was conveniently located near lots of businesses and restaurants. My only complaint was that I found large hair balls in my room. So I would suggest and a more in-depth join at cleaning/vacuuming.

If you are looking for a convenient place to stay near downtown and not break the bank I highly recommend staying here! It’s 2 blocks from a bus line that can take you downtown and a quarter mile walk to the subway line. Rooms were clean. Free breakfast which can save you a few bucks as well. I’d definitely stay here again!
