This place was awesome, the staff were the most helpful we've come across on all our travels. Location is great, near the train station and supermarket. Walls are pretty thin, and could do with another stove but wasn't too much of an issue at all. Free pool table was a nice touch.

Location wise it's hard to beat this place. It's only a block to the blue line train. Anything you need is within walking distance. The whole hostel had a great vibe and I'm planning on staying here again!

Great location with easy access on the blue line train to/from airport downtown. Cleanest hostel I have ever stayed in with space lockers (padlocks to hire) Kitchen is great free breakfast a bonus. Great area for eating out nightlife. Hostel was quiet comfortable. My only complaint would be that there were 2 bathrooms on our level with approx 25 beds. Quite simply not enough and I often had to wait but this is literally the only improvement I can think of.

It would have been nice if there more toilets on the top floor. 1 is not enough when the common room is locked.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Common room is very big and nice. There are bookstores and cafe around this area, which makes it very peaceful and cozy. Three minutes walk to subway station and five stations to downtown, very nice location!

Great stay! The only thing that was not perfect was that our room was really cold. But since we missed to ask how to turn on the heat (or the air con off?) it's probably our fault :)

Nice place in good area. Only downside would be the noise. You can hear a lot through the walls and ceiling and if people are partying in room above it is too loud.

Great choice for short-term or long-term staying in Chicago. Free breakfast. But a little bit noisy at night. (There're some machine noises) But I don't mind it. Perfect in the whole.

I'd definitely recommend Urban Holiday Lofts as a great place to stay if you're looking for a good value base in a lively neighbourhood. Although basic, the bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and comfortable. The staff were great and always happy to help with suggestions of where to eat in the area, what to do etc. The only downside was that my room was just behind the front desk, so was quite noisy as there was constantly people chatting, but the upstairs rooms seemed quieter.

A really great hostel! I traveled in New Zealand for two months, staying hostels for the whole trip and NONE of them compare to this hostel. The cleanliness, character, service, and location are really close to perfect. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone that has never stayed in a hostel before, you will love this one!

The location of this hostel is awesome! It's situated in Wicker Park which is an area filled with tons of restaurants, bars, and cool boutiques. Definitely has a younger hip vibe. It's also super close to the blue line of the L which makes getting around the city easy. The rooms were clean and the staff were super chill and always able to help with questions/suggestions. If you're on the fence about where to stay, this place is pretty sweet!

This was the best Hostel I ever stayed in (and I stayed in quite some Hostels, for example Q4 in NYC which I think is also faboulus). The staff was super friendly and gave us lots of useful tips. It was really clean everywhere, the breakfast was good and the 10 bed female Dorm was huge.

I loved the location. It was perfect for finding food and things to do and it wasn't too far away from downtown chicago. I loved the inside of the hostel. Very hipster and cool. I loved the people I met and the staff were pleasant to talk to. Overall I loved it and didn't want to leave. I Would have stayed another night if they weren't overbooked.

My only complain is that we wanted to party and they close the common room at 10:30 on weed days. Also the roof wasnt open but that may have been because it was still a bit cold.
