I had a great stay at this hostel! The location is right in the center of Chicago, which made it super easy to get around and explore the city. Public transportation access was excellent, so I could quickly get to all the main attractions and neighborhoods I wanted to visit. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and it really captured the magic of being in Chicago. Overall, a convenient and enjoyable place to stay—I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Didn't seem to be able to open the windows for fresh air at all, so at night with 6+ dudes sleeping in a room it gets pretty warm... And it smelled badly of BO the entire time every hour of the day. Other than that it was decent, pretty clean bathrooms and showers, in a good area with grocery stores nearby which is very convenient. Pretty close to everything downtown.

My friends and I were looking for an affordable last minute spot and this place was perfect. They have a private room option which fit all of us perfectly -- the bathrooms were really clean which put us at ease. The other guests were also kind and friendly. The hostel was near the Blue line which was convenient for our travels. Since it's in Greektown, there was much to explore in the neighborhood as well as tasty food options within walking distance. This booking was a lovely surprise and I would recommend/ stay again!
