The last time I stayed here, a few months ago, it seemed like the place was under new management and had improved. But last night the place was dirty again and I found bedbugs. Is management serious about cleaning this place up? more

Wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either. It was...EH. However...I met really cool people there and with that said, this place is a good place to meet others. It did not feel empty at all. Lots of people all the time inside and out. The internet was free. more

To be honest when I was told that I would be staying in a private room in a hostel I was a bit concerned. I'd never stayed in one before, but actually this place wasn't that bad. My friend and I came over from England on vacation and stayed for over a week last summer. I asked to see the... more
Hi Jamie. Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm glad you had such a good time in Chicago. It sounds like you really took advantage of the great neighborhood and the city. I just wanted to let you know that we're making some terrific changes to our hostel. Renovations and upgrades are underway and we would love to have you...
I've stayed at this hostel before, sometimes it's been fine, sometimes not. But Recently when I stayed there, I think they've undergone some improvements. New desk clerks were helpful and friendly, and the dorm rooms and bathrooms were super-clean. There were no signs of bugs at all, and there were many cleaning staff people keeping the place spotless. No hesitation... more
i saw no bed bugs but was a little bit disappointed. My first room had a broken lock and i couldn't get in, i was then given a new room but the lock was still a bit dodgy. The hostel is ok for the price and it has a certain charm but it was shabby and the rooms were very... more
Having read about the bedbugs we purchased bug spray before our arrival. The double room en suite was clean and most comfortable. We sprayed the beds as a precaution but we hadn't seen any evidence of bugs. The 24 hour coffee was fantastic. I sympathise with the owners/managers in that despite the kitchen being thoroughly cleaned every morning, most of... more
This place is a hostel, not a hotel. With that in mind, we had a great experience. We had a private bed and bath for 3 nights at a reasonable price. The location is very convenient to get to Lincoln Park, Uptown, over to Logan Sqaure/Wicker Park, or downtown. The bathroom looked very clean, there were no bed bugs (looks... more
I stayed in a female dorm. We were 27 girls in a room!!! and it smelled a bit strange. The worst is that there's just one bathroom far from the bedroom, where the doors don't close, and with a shower that you won't like to use. I also must say that at least in my bedroom there were no bedbugs.... more
I stayed in the girls' dorm that was opposite the pool-room. In the evenings it was very noisy, as some visitors were drinking and talking loudly. But I personally did not care as I was too tired to react to it. The dorm I stayed in was OK, clean and with AC. But there was only was annoying thing -... more
