Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Really loved the location. The room and staff were lovely. I also appreciated that the front door was not left unlocked 24/7 and you had to buzz in after hours (which was always quick). The complimentary breakfast was lacking, but there are plenty of food places within walking distance. We walked over to Colectivo Coffee and it was delicious. Overall a great stay in a great location and we would definitely stay here again!

Nice hostel. I had a private room. Comfortable bed & pillows. Good value for the price in Chicago. Great staff. Nice to have a basic breakfast included. It's a hostel, keep that in mind. Nothing fancy. Great neighborhood.

A great stay overall
Beautiful place in a great location, with reasonable pricing and great service. But the bunkbeds weren't very comfortable, and there was a lot of noise throughout the night and early morning (loud voices, doors slamming, people using the communal bathroom, etc). I'd stay there again, but maybe try to figure out if some rooms are located in a better/quieter location of the hostel.

Great value stay. I was lucky to have the dorm to myself, but despite that, the place was clean and in a safe part of Chicago. It was located near Lincoln Park and relatively walking distance to Wrigley Field where I watched a Cubs game.

For what you pay, it’s a great stay. Don’t expect top tier 5 star hotel stay and you’ll have a pleasant stay. The area is such a great location as well, nestled right in the heart of tons of grocery options, restaurants, cafes, and shopping options as well as bars. The hostel is far enough to be pretty quiet so you don’t hear a lot of bustle from the streets, as it’s tucked away in a residential area within Lincoln park.
