- “ Amazing location, great facilities, clean and spacy rooms. One if not the best hostel I've ever been to in the US ! Made my stay in Chicago even better. ”

- “ Great hostel! Probably the best one I've stayed in so far. The staff were very friendly (except for the lady who woke us up and asked who was checking out) and the facilities were very clean. The rooms were great, very clean, including the ensuite bathrooms. A bit of a hassle to use the card to go through the doors and up the elevators though. I really like how it's only a couple blocks away from Michigan Ave. ”

- “ Huge hostel! Great location near subway, bus stops, and attractions. Good security (need key to enter building and room and access elevator). Staff was friendly and helpful. Large lobbies, plenty of kitchens, information desk. Free breakfast included muffins, bagels, toast, cheese, cereal, and juice. Room was cleaned daily but bathroom still got pretty dirty. Bring your own lock if you want to lock your things in your locker. The only thing I wish is that each bed had its own outlet. ”

- “ As compared to other hostles I found it pricey, even with the great location. The heat situation was also very off putting, no was to control the temputure in the room. Overall the experience was ok I loved the city and it made stay more enjoyable, next time I return I don't imagine I will be returning to the hostle I will most likely stay somewhere less costly or a hotel if I'm going to pay for a private room and fees. ”

- “ J'ai beaucoup apprécié mon séjour. Accueil chaleureux et cordial. Tout a été pensé afin d'être facile et efficace: des casiers assez grands dans la chambre et dans le lobby pour accomoder avant/après le séjour des crochets dans la chambre et dans les douches du savon et papier à main en tout temps pas de surplus($)pour les draps ou serviettes, tout est inclus et en plus on se charge de tout lors du départ déjeuner varié et en quantité pour tous. Un des meilleurs Hostel ou j'ai séjourné. ”
