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.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful throughout my visit. I especially loved the breakfast — it had a great variety of fresh and delicious options. The location is also perfect, close to many shops and tourist attractions. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and relaxing stay. I look forward to visiting again!

Very surprised at the apartment style accommodation! I’d highly recommend this place. Wish I could have stayed longer and hanged in the private lounge area of my dorm room! Great check in and easy safe luggage storage after checkout. Awesome placement for airport links, main Chicago attractions and bus links over the river. All the star ratings for this one!
Response from Property: Thank you so much! We really appreciate it and are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. We welcome you back anytime!

location, clean, and friendly staff. What made it even better was meeting Ahmed, a fellow Moroccan, at the front desk! Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Chicago.
Response from Property: Thank you!!! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed meeting Ahmed (we also think he's great!) and hope to see you again! Thank you for staying with us!!!

I like the fact you have an opportunity to network with people from worldwide here. I also like the fact that they have a kitchen that you can cook in as well as games like board games, pool, ping pong, a lounging area, and a library! Haven't seen this much in my life! Cool!

I stayed here for a total of nine days, and as my first time in a hostel I think it was very nice. The location is great, right in the middle of Chicago. There was only one day where the water was out, but they fixed it quickly so it was not too bad. The people at the front desk were also super helpful. And if you've never stayed before, they do free daily activities for everyone to enjoy.
