Good location and nice price BUT ... 3/18/2011

Good location and nice price. However, the lady in the front desk was unfriendly during my check in. I feel like being laughed at because of my accent. The interesting thing is the lady herself has an accent. Also, it is easy to hear people next door talking and the noise in the street. more

what you need where you need it 8/26/2002

With out the hostel we would not be able to visit Chicago as often as we do. With the affordable rates it means more mini vacations a year for the family. Hostelling gives you more opprotunity to visit high price areas on a small budget. We salute Mayor Daily for his support of the Chiago hostel, and Hostelling International. Pros: location, price, things to do Cons: no ladders on bunk, slow web access more

No fountain in the lobby, but 8/24/2002

You will not find a better located, more safe and less expensive place to stay. Everything a visitor needs is within a stonethrow: the library for free e-mail, the park and lake front for strolling, the opera, restaurants, transit and shopping...you name it. The staff couldn't be more helpful---they are volunteers, and do not work for pay. You feel protected passing the 24-hour guard and CCTV when you walk in from the street, and you get to meet the most interesting people from all over the world in the lounges, the reading rooms, dining room and the kitchen. This is what staying in a hostel is all about. Pros: Safe, Very Convenient, Helpful staff Cons: Intimidating decor more
