This hostel is a breathe of fresh air after a hectic day in the "Windy City". Dorm rooms are in great condition with comfortable beds and plenty of linen, ensuite rooms have an extra sink outside of the bathroom also. Extra bathrooms on each floor also. Towels changed daily, rooms cleaned daily, breakfast included each morning, a great range of fruit and cereals bagels and breads along with coffee and tea. The staff have the highest attention to detail to make your Chicago experience more than awesome. All staff members have a vast and massive knowledge of the local area. They hostel offers 3 Pub nights out a week (Mon, Tue & Thur) and a free BBQ once a week. It is so easy to meet fellow travellers with a great lounge and common area. I have stayed here a number times and wouldn't even blink to stay somewhere else in Chicago. The location is a great area, within walking distance to a supermarket and many many local bars and great eats. Very safe to work around at night after coming back from many pub crawls. Just over 10 minutes walk to Fullerton Metro station and great walk past many bars to wrigley field. Best value for price in Chicago by a long way!

This is a fun place to stay if you wanna save money and at the same time are young enough to enjoy the party atmosphere in Chicago. The rooms are a little bit small and crowded, like my high school domitory. However, you get nothing better than this for that price!
