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!

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very nice and helpful when explaining the key points of the hostile. This was my first time buying a hotel/hostile room for myself and it was very easy and fair for the price. We got an ENORMOUS vegan deep dish pizza before we came and luckily there’s a communal kitchen with massive commercial kitchen appliances and fridges. We also had a mini fridge in our room but it would not have been able to fit that massive pizza. If I were to complain about one thing it would be the blankets because they are thin but if you asked for an extra one they would probably give you one. Overall it was really enjoyable to stay here and we were genuinely excited to come back to the hostile after our day of activity’s.

This hostel exceeded my expectations. The rooms were impeccably clean, and so were the bathrooms. Breakfast is included, which is always a bonus. And my check-in and check-out experience was easy and quick. I definitely recommend this hostel as a more affordable option, especially compared to other hotels in the area. The zoo is also a 14 minute walk from there! 10/10

Pleasantly surprised!
Very, very nice property! Friendly service, friendly people. Not much noise. Great signage. The bed was super comfortable - if you like a waterbed, the bunk bed is the next best thing! Bathroom nice and clean, and cleanliness overall, super!

Great choice
Wonderful location in Lincoln Park neighborhood and economical. In addition to things like flip flops for shared bathroom/showers recommend bringing sheets if polyester is uncomfortable for you. Most of the staff are helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our week and walking to the nearby CTA train station. Only about ten minutes. Also short walks to restaurants and great entertainment like Galway Arms and Kingston Mines.

The area where this is located is really nice and walkable, with plenty of resturaunts and shops. The neighborhood is quaint and feels safe. We had one lf the premium rooms and the beds were comfortable. We felt safe there and the staff were helpful, but not like kiss-your-butt nice like at some big name chains, if that makes sense lol. I highly recommend!

Just enough style to get the job done right.
This hotel was neat, the eclectic patrons from all over the world and all ages was cool, different than I expected. The room was amazingly quiet and i loved it. The only down side was the water pressure in the shower, it was hot though, but it dribbled out of the shower head. Other than that it was nice and close to cool things like Lilly's Bar and Prost.
