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!

Major issue was no elevator and need to climb two flights with heavy bags. Staff very courteous, able to check bags and late arrival with no major issues, glad to get lower bunk. Perhaps greater information on use of food / refrigeration for those unfamiliar with hostels, but very reasonable price considering difficulty in finding hotel in Chicago for under $200 a night.

The other residents were exceptionally loud and made significant noise until 3:00 am. The hostel needs a no noise policy after 10:00 pm to ensure the comfort of everyone who stays there. It was also way overpriced for a room the size of a closet with a shared bathroom down the hall.

I liked the convenience and a location. An elevator would be an improvement. The shower room was awfully small and congested. No air conditioning. The ceiling fan turns off when the light is off. I wish the fan would stay on. That needs to be improved. I liked having the big refrigerator in the common room. Sheets and pillowcases were very nice and comfortable. The number of electrical outlets was sufficient. Overall, it was a decent experience and affordable.

The hostel is adequate, but I must mark it down for three basic amenities: 1. Air-conditioning is excluded from the bedroom. Imagine the rank smell of 8 adults with closed-up windows and a ceiling fan. The room lacked sufficient air circulation, making it difficult to breathe and possibly unsafe. 2. The internet connection is so weak that no browser works properly. I tried three on my laptop, and other guests in the common area confirmed this problem. 3. The hostel's kitchenette had missing items. It had no utensils, yet it had a portable heating unit while lacking pots/pans and other necessary kitchenware.

I only stayed for one night but I enjoyed it so much! I arrived early and was able to store my bags until check in. The man who greeted me at check in was very welcoming and kind. My room was so comfortable! The bed was extra cozy. I slept so well. I also enjoyed the type of bed fittings.The bathrooms were very clean and functional. I loved the sitting space with all the books you can read. It's not on the quietest street lol horns were blaring for quite a bit but personally I enjoyed the energy and had a nice time just people watching from the window. If noise bothers you, bring ear plugs. 10/10 will stay here again.

My train was delayed by 9 hours so instead of arriving at 430 pm it was 130 am. The gentleman stayed just for my arrival of which I was so grateful as a solo female traveler. He was welcoming and kind for this weary traveler and even said "have to keep the kids safe" when I thanked him. Very kind. Rooms clean. Bathrooms clean. A great place to stay!
