I felt that the extra things like the free breakfast and free pre-marathon pasta meal were very generous. Staff always tried to accomodate any changes to my plans etc.

free wireless internet, free pool table, breakfast and linens included...the big chalk board in the kitchen advising on some things to do. it'd be great to include free local phone calls on the phones....

The hostel had a great central location, and offered many activities for its guests. It was in a safe area, near several universities, and offered several methods for securing personal belongings.

Good common area, Kitchen is great. Expensive in terms of hostels myself and a friend have stayed in throughout the US but Chicago is an expensive city. Bedrooms and bathrooms clean and modern. 8/10 overall, D & J.

I liked the location, the bedrooms and the common area. Some of the upper floors showers are dirty.

The rooms. They are old university dorms converted into a hostel. There's 2 bedrooms with 2 bunk beds in each room. These 2 rooms share a living room and bathroom. Not bad for a hostel! Location is really good too andf the buildings kind of cool.

I went to Chicago for a congress and I stayed at this wonderful hostel. I will stay again in my next visit to Chicago.

The location is very central, the outings were excellent and well organised. Overall, a very good vibe.

Room was spacious, as was the whole building. Loved the breakfast room with the L-trains coming past the windows, and I loved the big lobby on the first floor. Great to have (free to use) big lockers in the room, and great to be able to leave your luggage for free on day of departure. Some staff members could be more friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic. Loved the muffins at breakfast! It would be great if every one would have their own knife at breakfast, and if butter and jam would be provided in one-person packs rather than in big bowls for everyone to use, even though that's not very environmentally friendly. Overall, I was pretty happy with my stay.
