I like the idea that hostels are showing up more in the US. This one is overpriced for what it is. We too as another traveler described payed the deposit and then was charged the full amount at check in. The owners are very nice and accomodating. The shower rooms had the typical carpet type floor rugs, which were soggy wet, yuck! they need to put in grated rubber mats. Overall, if I had to make the choice, I would not stay here again, for 85.00 a night for two people you can find a better place

You share bathrooms and toilets with all the bedroom on the same floor, meaning you sometimes have to wait a long time for the shower to be free !
But the location is great, two metro stations from the Loop, in Greektown.
important : there is a (greek?) nightclub across the street, playing loud music late in the night, so ask for a bedroom that does not have a view on this street if you have any problem to sleep in a noisy environment !

Rooms clean, good location, but very eccentric management. We arrived back from dinner on our first night to find that our luggage had disappeared and our room given to someone else. After a lot of confusion, we found out that the manager had no memory of checking us in, nor of checking in the two people in our room, and had put our luggage in a cupboard. Eventually we were put in another room, with no further problems.

Pretty good hostel, about a 25 minute walk from downtown (Grant Park, Millenium Park). Close to the sears

Four of us stayed here during Lollapollooza. It was about a 25 min walk to Grant park. All in all a good place to rest your head. It was safe and clean and that was all we were looking for.

I really liked the hostel, would totally come back. But, another toilet would be nice.

They charged me for a double room because it was what was only available online when I booked it; however, they put me in a single room. I didn't catch it before I left, but it was still cheaper then getting a hotel in downtown Chicago for a night. The staff was very nice and friendly!
