Customer review

26 July 2009

Liked: Although we had to call back to talk to a manager, we were completely refunded for our entire stay in our bedbug infested room. Very happy that we didn't have to fight for our rights to that.

Mar Mut

14 July 2009 Mar would recommend this property

Liked: There're not a lot of hostels in Chicago and compare to the other posibilities Arlington is not very expensive.It's not downtown but the area is nice. There's a bunch of great cafes (the hostel gives "continental breakfast"but the coffee is awful!! is way much better go somewhere else), nightlife and the wienners circle is so near (hot dog is awesome, fries amazing and burger too...and if you have been drinking and dancing all night even more!!)

Nick Pointer

09 July 2009

Liked: Lovely historic building. Rooms are like ovens, no fans and even with window open all day and night its unbearable. Only 1 bathroom on each floor. Very noisey all night, construction work going on from 7am every morning with no pre-warning. No atmosphere.

Disliked: Nick left no negative feedback.
