This was one of the best hostel experiences I've ever had. Even as a solo female traveler I felt quite safe in the hostel premises. They had plenty of events, I joined a couple of walking tours in which i learned a lot and made new friends. The shared areas are super big and very convenient. The location is excellent. If I ever need to go back to Chicago I'll stay here for sure.

The location of HI Chicago Hostel is great—easy access to public transport and major sights. The room and facilities were just okay, nothing special, but clean enough. Overall, it’s a decent option for solo travelers looking for a central and affordable place to stay.
