- “ Great hostel!! Helpful and friendly staffs!! They help us to search for the locations and transportation! Also, it's in the oak street! it is convenient to walk to the state street or other funny places!! Some small mistakes may be the poor air-conditioner in third floor~But they fix it later~So, it's ok~ They may also improve the wifi connection in the third floor~ which was not so stable All in all, it provide a comprehensive services!! It provides nice coffee! i like it! Recommend to all of u! ”

- “ From outside hostel is hard to spot and I walked by without finding it. A sign at the door or a larger number would be really helpful. Besides this nice place for a stay in Chicago. ”

- “ The hostel is newly renovated, everything is very new and clean. The location is great, only a few minutes to downtown in Metro and it is within walking distance to the Oak Street Beach/Lake Michigan. Staff are friendly and helpful. Each person has their own locker in the room, but make sure you bring your own lock as there is none. ”

- “ The hotel has no phone contact info. That might seem suspicious sometimes. But the place is very legit. Lack of phone is hard if you need prior info before arriving there. The place was super clean and the guests were great to interact with! The only problem they have is sometimes the staff on duty forgets to fully debrief the next staff who takes over and so some vital info for gusts gets missed. ”

- “ Awesome hostel, staff are friendly and extremely helpful about where to go and what to do! In the heart of the city, walking distance from all of the action of Downtown Chi-town. Short walk to subway/metro stations. I will definitely be returning here for when I visit Chicago. ”

- “ They opened the business just a few weeks ago, which means that every facilities such as towels and sheets are so clean, I was really lucky to choose this hostel. And from the hostel, you can walk to most of the tourist destinations in Downtown and Gold Coast taking 15-20 mins walking. And staffs were very friendly. I will choose this hostel again for my next trip to Chicago. ”
