The location is good about 12min walk to Red Line train station. Comes with free breakfast and the staff are accommodating. I booked a private room on the basement and it’s good it has fridge and microwave.

The hotel is conveniently located near the subway, making it easy to reach the city center. The facilities are clean, and the beds are comfortable. However, the AC is quite loud, and the beds can be a bit shaky. Overall, I recommend this hostel for solo travelers.

The services weren't so bad it could have been better. But, it's a hostel after all so every one's experiences will be different. There are many factors, such as the room you take. Additionally, the tenant(s) in your room/dorm can influence your experience. Mine wasn't so good. Another important consideration is that in some cases taxes are included during online booking or when paying any additional cost at the hostel. I was told that I must pay for the breakfast in order to confirm my booking. So be mindful that can happen.

The staff were friendly, and the hostel is located in a quiet neighborhood. The room was clean but the bed's mattress was too soft and the blanket was too thin

Cool building in a very nice area. The breakfast was decent, the laundry service was easy to use and had plenty of amenities you'd need when travelling.

I really enjoyed my stay here for a quick weekend getaway, pun intended. Close to a lot of eateries and bars, convenient location and great price. Will definitely stay here again when I revisit Chicago.
