God bless this hostel. There is something affordable for everyone here, and no one can ever go to bed hungry. Unlimited granola bars, fruit cups and soy butter for vegetarians, free coffee, free breakfast, often something distributed in the kitchen in the afternoon. Even someone with a few dollars to their name wont go hungry here. They seem to be sensitive and caring to hire people with disabilities, and i really appreciated that. And what a great job this person actually did. Outstanding. Please support these people with business. The best lodging ive ever stayed in due to their compassion and consideration for all walks of life. I wish i could stay more than 2 weeks a year and pay the price of a regular hotel sometimes to support this business and its activities. There is still humanity.5.0/512 Feb 2025

I stayed in a bunk bed private room with my friend and the room was fine. It was small and the blankets were thin but definitely enough for me. The suite bathroom shared by other 5(?) private rooms was a bit dirty and the lights flickered but the ones in the hallway were better. Also the bathroom door slammed quite loudly and we could hear it all night. However, the common area on the 2nd floor was nice, usually quite quiet so a good place to work if needed. There were evening events where you could meet people. The free breakfast was quite basic but at least it was free. The industrial kitchen and free coffee on the second floor were also a plus. The front desk staff were also always nice. And the location is great.5.0/56 Feb 2025

I was traveling for work, and because of the lower budget, i decided to stay in a hostellike environment. Ive also lived in hostels before, so its a mindset you have to accept. The dorm was quiet and clean. I didnt have time to explore hostel activities. The bed and linen were perfect. My dorm had a bathroom attached, which was very important. Fellow residents and staff - everyone was friendly and nice. They offer free breakfast, although i never had time to explore. The location is great if you want to explore the downtown area. Overall, i felt safe and fine.5.0/530 Jan 2025

So far this is the best hostel ive stayed in! Very convenient rooms with enough space for everyone. Separate toilet, shower, and sink so no waste of time. Free breakfast with perfect view of railway. The whole building is cool and very well located.5.0/530 Jan 2025

Tidak diragukan lagi, ini adalah pilihan yang sangat bagus ketika Anda pergi ke chicago selama beberapa hari, ini adalah pilihan yang bersih, nyaman dan mudah diakses. Saya pasti akan tinggal di sini lagi. Satu-satunya hal yang perlu ditingkatkan adalah variasi sarapan prasmanan, karena pada hari-hari saya di sana, sarapannya sama setiap hari tetapi detailnya akan sangat meningkatkan pengalaman.5.0/529 Jan 2025

The air conditioner in each room is not individually adjusted. I almost froze to death. Everything else is excellent and practical. Breakfast is available. It is a very economical choice. Its a great choice for a trip to chica. The nearby neighborhoods are very safe.5.0/529 Jan 2025

Hostel yang sangat besar di CHICAGO, dikelola dengan sangat baik dan profesional. Harganya sangat terjangkau, sehingga sangat diminati oleh wisatawan dengan anggaran terbatas. Hostel ini menyediakan kopi 24 jam. Sarapannya sangat menarik dan lengkap dengan berbagai roti atau muffin atau cinnamon rol, danish. Juga tersedia telur rebus, oatmill, sereal, dll. Setiap tamu memiliki kartu hotel, sehingga sangat aman untuk wanita yang bepergian.5.0/523 Jan 2025

One of the best hostel experiences ive ever had. This hostel is really nice for its location in downtown chicago with access to public transportation, grocery stores, restaurants and cafes. It has 7 floors with modern interior design. Its a small apartment with 2 bedrooms, dining table, kitchen, shower and toilet. There are many facilities such as microwave, hair dryer, tissues and towels. The reception staff are friendly, helpful and professional. Once the rooms are ready they let you check in early even in the morning. Breakfast is good for the quality also free and there is an open kitchen if you want to make your own meals. The beds are good and always clean. The building has a very good security system which is why it is safe. There is a laundry room and washing machines on the 7 th floor. Accommodation costs are very reasonable compared to other hostels in this area. There is a dig setting hall on the second floor for internment and relaxing. Overall rating is 9/10.5.0/519 Jan 2025

The hostel is good. The condition is clean, although the shower corners and shower curtain need some attention. The water pressure in the shower was a bit low and the lighting was dingy. The layout is like a college suite. Breakfast is included and there are lockers onsite if you bring your own lock. The suite and room itself are card locked which gives you peace of mind. The ac was a bit too strong on the top bunk as it blows on me. Towels are provided. Convenient location. The staff is helpful. The sound of the train wasnt too bad to me but i was on the opposite side.5.0/519 Jan 2025

The location is good, and theres a cuban sandwich shop next door. The front desk service is okay, with lots of new employees. Their library was closed and they didnt know why. Also, they keep the rooms around 55 degrees Fahrenheit, so be prepared for that. But good hot showers. No meat for breakfast, which is definitely a downside. Just oatmeal or other bread items like bagels or muffins. Comfortable beds and blankets.5.0/518 Jan 2025

This hostel is a great value for exploring chinese. I would stay here again. This is the best hostel ive ever stayed at. I stayed in a mens dorm with 6-8 beds. The hostel has 4 bunk beds and a very generous shared space for you to store your personal belongings. There were also tall lockers for you to store larger personal belongings. What makes this hostel a luxury is that each room has its own shower and toilet two separate rooms, plus sinks! Its very convenient and you dont even have to leave your room to shower. If you want, the floor also has a communal shower, which are often not busy because people tend to shower in their own room. The hostel offers breakfast and the seating arrangements make it easy to meet new friends. The hostel also organizes great events. The hostel is in a convenient location a walking distance of the metro station and many major tourist attractions are within 20-30 minutes walking distance. The only caution i would mention is that some homeless people live outside the same block as the hostel, but they are not a problem.5.0/518 Jan 2025

Hi chinese hostel offers affordable accommodation in a prime downtown location, making it ideal for travelers looking for affordability and convenience. Its communal atmosphere fosters a sense of camaraderie among guests.5.0/513 Jan 2025

Lokasinya sangat bagus, hostel ini menawarkan banyak kegiatan dan sarapan setiap pagi. Namun, kebersihan toilet dan kamar mandi kurang terjaga. Seringkali mereka kotor. Staf (staff maintenance dan staff dapur) sangat tidak menyenangkan. Singkatnya, nilai uangnya bagus dan lokasinya ideal untuk bepergian sendirian. Kebersihan dan privasi adalah satu-satunya kelemahan besar.5.0/513 Jan 2025

Asramanya fungsional, saya punya kamar pribadi dengan kakak perempuan saya dan itu aneh, ruangan itu dalam satu set kamar pribadi (5) dan kami berbagi ruang umum kecil dengan sofa, meja dengan 4 kursi, dan dapur kecil (dengan microwave dan kulkas). Toilet dan pancuran juga digunakan bersama, dengan dua wastafel. Saya tidak suka detail ini. Di koridor luar kamar juga ada toilet dan shower. Asrama sudah termasuk sarapan dan berfungsi meskipun membosankan setelah tiga hari: telur rebus dan dingin, roti panggang, jus jeruk, mentega, selai, dan selai kacang untuk dioleskan. Liftnya lebar, meskipun tombol panggil tidak berfungsi, jadi harus menggunakan tombol naik lalu masuk ke lantai untuk turun. Kadang-kadang harus berjalan naik dan turun. Kamar secara umum bersih, meskipun pembersihan menyeluruh harus dijadwalkan di resepsi (di dalam kamar ada memo dengan informasi yang tidak saya lihat sampai hari terakhir). Kamar tempat saya tidak memiliki pilihan untuk mengatur AC, dan biasanya sangat dingin di malam hari. Jika Anda mudah terbangun, pertimbangkan bahwa kereta lewat sangat dekat dan jika sangat bising.5.0/59 Jan 2025

Overall, it was an amazing experience. The hostel is the best ive ever been to! The common room is a mustvisit place, with plenty of excellent amenities and services, and a complimentary breakfast! With the exception of one kitchen employee, the staff is excellent. He appeared to be miserable.5.0/53 Jan 2025

The front desk staff was friendly. The security is compartmentalized so that no one but guests can access private areas even the elevator areas were clean. The bathrooms and kitchens were also clean. Its a melting pot of cultures and if you keep an open mind you will love the atmosphere.5.0/524 Dec 2024

Hotel ini terletak di lokasi yang bagus di pusat kota chicago. Kamarnya sangat luas dan Anda dapat meletakkan koper Anda. Anda harus membawa kunci kartu Anda setiap saat karena Anda akan membutuhkannya untuk masuk ke kamar Anda. Tempat tidurnya memiliki tirai dan sangat nyaman. Ada beberapa toilet dan kamar mandi di lantai yang sama sebagai satu unit kamar mandi. Saya tidak punya banyak masalah dengan toilet dan kamar mandi. Ada juga sebuah kafe di lantai 1 tempat Anda dapat minum kopi dengan harga murah.5.0/522 Dec 2024
