Chicago Getaway Hostel Reviews

Good facility with good amenities. Exactly as described and in nice location.

The buffet breakfast was a highlight at its value! Love the hotel style security key card too! Good hostel that I had even recommend to the local taxi driver who sent me to the airport. He said he will definitely telling more people about 'Getaway'!

I love this place.

I've stayed at over 20 different hostels in as many countries and this was the best by a country mile, the service when you walk in the door is first class. The sleeping areas are quite, the lounge areas are great fun, super easy to meet other travellers, the cooking area is proper kitchen, with everything you need. Free dinner on select nights, free breakfast every morning, pub tours twice a week. easy distance to other bars and cafes also. 10/10

Great hotel in a nice area. Beds are a bit average, I am a bit taller and could not fit on the bunk bed without my feet hanging off the end... Showers are also a bit cramped but overall the hostel was great.

One of the best hostels i've ever stayed in. the location, helpfulness and value for money are outstanding.

I am waked up by roommates again and again. This is the only point which is not satisfied. Others are much wonderful.

It's only a short walk to both a train stop and Lincoln Park. It is also located very close to DePaul University. The area seemed very safe. There is a small lot in the back fit parking at 25 dollars a night and your room key also gives you access to the building. It was clean and while the rooms themselves didn't offer any amenities beyond a bed and Bathroom-we stayed in the 8 person dorm-the common Areas were nice and well kept. The free breakfast in the morning consisted of fruit, sine Cereal

Excellent hostel in a nice area of Chicago not far from downtown with plenty of bars and restaurants. Pub crawls and activities are great fun. Would definitely recommend this place

Professional and at the same time really welcoming. Staff is helpful and nice, rooms and bathroom are clean, neighborhood is pretty nice as well. Easy transportation to downtown Chicago.

Overall a great hostel, I would definitely go back again! Price was awesome for a US big city. Staff is decent and helped answer questions and offer recommendations. Location was alright, about a 10-15 min metro ride to downtown, though a rough hour walk. But there are some awesome restaurants within a 10 min walk.

I thought it was a great time, meet lots of new people.

Thank you vincent for helping me get from airport to hostel by train in one piece, You were very helpful. A block away from good shops food and several from major trains

The location is great, just 10 minutes from subway. And the room is clean and tidy. It worthies your stay.

This really was one of the best hostels I've stayed at - incredibly friendly staff (especially the lady from Michigan with the glasses), really clean, lovely bedroom, powerful showers, free towel, free breakfast, perfect location (next to the station and on the blue line to the airport), and an amazing roof balcony. I'm gutted to have left and if I do come back to Chicago without a doubt I will come back here. Thank you!

Very nice hostel. Very clean and a lot of facilities (wifi, kitchen,...). The rooms are simple but large enough for everyone. The bathroom may sometimes be a bit far from the bedroom but it helps waking up in the morning. the music in the hall is awesome and the location is perfect either you want to hit bars and jazz clubs or if you just want to visit the city especially dowtown (the loop). Perfect for young people travelling !

Parking was a bit of difficult. Recommend getting the overnight parking.

Best hostel I've stayed at. Clean, well run. Good staff. Facilities are all in good condition and there's actually a lot to the free breakfast. Neighbourhood is good too, lots of restaurants. Will definitely stay there again next time I'm in Chicago.

Best hostel I've stayed in!

I have stayed in more than 20 hostels in Europe and USA by now and this one was the best! I have never seen such a clean (cleaner than most hotels) and huge hostel before. I also liked the helpful staff and the events they organize nearly every night to explore the city. Location is not that perfect if you want to be exactly at the center of the city, but it is ok. Free breakfast is also good but it should not end at 9:30, it is too early to finish the breakfast.
