  • This hostel was in a very convenient location for transit. It was a little farther away from the night life activities, but some people may prefer that. It was walking distance from the beach and Hancock tower (free on the 95th floor). The building reno is only a year old and still looks very nice.

  • We had a group of 6 girls and stayed in the ensuite with our own bathroom. Highly recommended! Great location, nice neighborhood, and walking distant to the Beach. Jason, Jake, and Danielle are great hosts! Gave us great recommendations. Will definitely go back if I'm in Chicago again.

  • The hostel is really a good location to explore the city - nevertheless one bathroom for all guests seems a little bit to less. The bathroom was dirty and I did not really feel clean after having a shower there. I had a private room on the first floor and the bathroom was on the 2nd, which was also not so nice at night. The first night was extremely loud by being next to a boys mixed bedroom - I couldn't sleep very well.

  • this hostel best suits older or single travellers. it is in a quiet area and the travellers were likewise quiet. this is not a place to party. there is plenty of night life not far away if you want it. we walked chicago from this location - and it is easy to get to from ohare via the loop.

  • There is no locked box for dorm , and no curntain in the female dorm, even the bathroom without curtain! I stayed 3 night there, two days run out of water while showering. The location is soso, about 7-10 mins to MRT station but that station is not close to any tourist area. The good thing is the hostel prepare some fruit and cereal as breakfest for free. But overall I don't think it worthy the money.

  • This is a great hostel, and is only going to get better as they gain more experience in the business. Has the feel of an international hostel, which is a high compliment. They best part is the staff- cool, knowledgeable people.

  • My girlfriend and I stayed here over a summer weekend. The hostel was really nice and clean. They serve a pretty simple but decent breakfast in the morning of a variety of oatmeal, bananas, and other assorted fruit along with coffee and tea. The listing for the amenities on this site seems to be a bit off as there was no key card access (a passcode outer door and traditional key locks on interior doors). Also, there is no phone number listed, but they have one at 312-804-3677.
