This hostel was amazing. I had such a good time. Even though on a map it looks a bit out of the way, the area which it is in, Lincoln Park, is fantastic - it is the real Chicago. Best staff out of any hostel I've been to.

All is good, only one thing is a slight annoyance - the bathrooms are located far away. If one has to go for a leak in the middle of the night, one has to get fully dressed and put on shoes and go through the lobby and use the keycard

Location of Hostel is very nice, close to Blues bars and also night life. Security is a model in comparison to other hostels I slept, staff is polite too. Just missed some friends there to hang out, but I had a great time.

Best hostel we have stayed at all trip! The staff were super friendly, there were activities every night and it was so close to everything! The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were clean and the whole hostel was warm. Awesome place! The bar nearby called B.L.U.E.S is a must see!

Big, clean, friendly place. Free breakfast is always a bonus, and the use of computers (free & with free printing) was excellent. I'd recommend this hostel, and would stay there again for sure!

The daily board that posted activities and events where a major perk in getting to know the city and our hostel-mates.

Great Hostel!! They have everything you need, I was very impressed. The facilities are great. It is huge and the hostel events make it easy for you to socialize with other travellers. It is a bit loud but either than that, it is great and I recommend staying there if you are in Chicago.

A bit far away from downtown, a bit noisy at night, and everything else is good.
