Hotel was exactly as advertised. Close and convent to Wrigley Field trip. Only negative was their parking lot was full and we had to park at the hospital down the road.

This hostel exceeded my expectations. The rooms were impeccably clean, and so were the bathrooms. Breakfast is included, which is always a bonus. And my check-in and check-out experience was easy and quick. I definitely recommend this hostel as a more affordable option, especially compared to other hotels in the area. The zoo is also a 14 minute walk from there! 10/10

Pleasantly surprised!
Very, very nice property! Friendly service, friendly people. Not much noise. Great signage. The bed was super comfortable - if you like a waterbed, the bunk bed is the next best thing! Bathroom nice and clean, and cleanliness overall, super!

The lack of breakfast options was under whelming for sure. No TV in the rooms. Shared bathrooms with the entire floor you get put on. Didn't realize it was a former all girls boarding school. For sure enjoyed the numerous different languages I did encounter during my stay.

Great choice
Wonderful location in Lincoln Park neighborhood and economical. In addition to things like flip flops for shared bathroom/showers recommend bringing sheets if polyester is uncomfortable for you. Most of the staff are helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our week and walking to the nearby CTA train station. Only about ten minutes. Also short walks to restaurants and great entertainment like Galway Arms and Kingston Mines.

GREAT value hostel in a super nice area. This is not the Four Seasons... but for around $50 a night for a room with a private toilet (shared bath) this place is a great deal. Located on a leafy, quiet street in a very upscale neighborhood. Highly recommended for those on a budget.
