Had a great time at the hostel in Chicago. As far as hostels in the US go this one of the most well-equipped and pro-active in terms of organising activities. The volunteer organisers were enthusastic and took us on a fab night out where I met loads of new people. There was also a brilliant information area with literature and... more

Inside it's a nice hostel, clean and friendly. However I had a room that faced onto the "El" train line, which was very loud almost all night long. And it cost me $27!!!!! to park across the street-- and that was a discounted rate! If you ask for a room away from the El, and don't have to park a... more

We found this place by the information point on O'Hare Intl. Airport. It's good location (walking distance from: Millenium Park, Aquarium, Sears Tower, Greyhound station...) There is a good bagel factory on the cornen. The staff were very heplfull. The price was a bit high (if you compare with other hostel prices) I absolutely recommend this place to young persons. more

We stayed at the HI Chicago right after Christmas till after New Years. It is in a great location, right downtown, near busses to get everywhere. The place itself is really eclectic, clean, and was really quiet and relaxing given the time of year we visited. Nice Kitchen and other common areas. more

This is a decent enough hostel. Property is in very good condition and there is free internet in the lobby area. There is also games like ping pong, a pool table and table football to play. Despite the decent amenities the atmosphere in the hostel is quite mooted. I'm more used to hostels where groups of people head out at... more

I brought a troop of 8 girls, with my coleader, from Minneapolis to Chicago for Memorial Day weekend. We rode the Megabus (about $35 roundtrip), bought CitiPass tickets (about $60) and 3-day visitor bus/El passes ($9), ate dim sum at Phoenix in Chinatown, and stayed at the Chicago IYH hostel for 3 nights (about $100) --- including meals, our entire... more

Stayed at the hostel for a week! Excellent place, close to the 'El' and other commodities. Rooms are clean and well kept. For the price, this is a bargain, plus the breakfast is included! Even though, there was a lot of groups staying there and the closeness of the 'El' track... the overall experience was great. Because of it open... more

I’ve just spent two nights at the HI-Chicago hostel in downtown Chicago. This is my second time visiting the hostel within the calendar year. Personally, I can’t see myself staying there again for a third time the next time I visit Chicago. However, this should not deter you from staying at this well established hostel. The hostel is located in... more

Excellent location, right on the subway loop, accessible by almost every subway line. The rooms were HUGE and the breakfast was good. High speed internet worked well. Walking distance to Art Gallery, Millennium Park, every subway line. I stayed here 9 nights in a 8 bed room. more

I thought it was generally nice. But I couldn't tell if they ever changed the bedding, even between different guests. Also, the shower water kept spilling out onto the floor and it was dark in that room, so it was kind of gross. And having the bathroom in the suite was actually not as desirable as having it in a... more
