Great location and decent value.
Everything was great except the room is tiny for the price and the breakfast could be better and its just so crowded with little real estate. The location is the best.

Hidden gem in beautiful area of Lincoln Park. Decent free breakfast (eggs, cereal, waffles, some fruit, yogurt). Friendly and helpful staff. We had a two-bunk private room with shared bath. Bathrooms super clean. Bedroom efficient. Comfy but squeaky beds. Would stay here again!

Great hostel in a beautiful and convenient area of Chicago. We had a private room on the third floor with private sink and toilet. The shower was down the hall and clean and with adequate privacy and availability. Towels provided. Breakfast had sufficient variety and choices, but for picky or hearty eaters may not satisfy. Room was clean with individual a/c. Bed comfy. Staff friendly and helpful. TV in common area. Limited parking onsite at $32 per night. Street parking tight and I mean tight! 6 block walk to elevated train and we enjoyed the historic tree lined streets.

We booked a private room for three people with a shower, and it was located in the basement. In addition to a double bed, the room had two more bunk beds, which made it super uncomfortable. The lighting consisted only of cold white light, and combined with the dirty gray walls, the overall atmosphere was terrible. The picture and the actual room did not match at all; the renovation in the room is very old and shabby. The refrigerator was terrible, and there was no drinking water provided either. For breakfast, there was only bread, cereal, and very cold boiled eggs. The renovation in the common dining area is also very outdated. For the price of this room, I expected something better.
