I stayed in the girls' dorm that was opposite the pool-room. In the evenings it was very noisy, as some visitors were drinking and talking loudly. But I personally did not care as I was too tired to react to it. The dorm I stayed in was OK, clean and with AC. But there was only was annoying thing -... more

We were 24 girls in a dorm with a creaking door. The dorm smelled the pee and the beds didn't look clean at all. Even though the location is good, I'd try another hostel if I'm back in Chicago. more

I just completed another stay at this hostel. No bed bugs anywhere, I've stayed here before and never seen any bugs of any kind. Staff was reasonably courteous. Room was clean, location is excellent. more

I didn't know what are Bed Bugs until today when I went to the doctor. My arms and legs are full of irritating bites. I stayed at the Hostel during a weekend and the bites appeared a day later. I have no confirmation that the bugs are from the hostel or are maybe in my house. But my house was... more

My assistant booked me this place because chicago was full up. Big mistake! Possibly I might stay there again if every hotel in the world had blown up. They checked me in, my bed sheets were filthy, so I went back to reception - ("wassup dude?") and asked for clean sheets. I was told there was a problem because the... more

There were bed bugs in the sheets and dead bed bugs under the pillow. The room was drab, run down, and the sheets were full of blood stains from the bed bugs. When informed of the bed bugs the staff were not surprised, and simply moved us to another room. Generally, the attitude towards the bugs appeared to be very... more

We were part of a travel group of students on a reward trip and this was anything but a reward. First of all, the hostel lost our reservations and we had to wait nearly a half of an hour before getting new rooms.The rooms had an air conditioner , too bad it didn't work. The rooms were hot even with... more

Hostel was in a nice neighbourhood that was a 5 minute walk to the train. Me & my friends had a private room with a private bathroom, everything was clean in our room, the only problem we had was that the room (& particularly the bathroom after a shower) was hot & sticky. The ceiling fan was useless! more

My husband and I got a private room with half bath. There were 3 twin beds, on which we could feel every spring. There was no air conditioning, and the room was very hot. We bought a fan the next day, which made it tolerable. But, I got bitten up by bugs, which I'm guessing were bedbugs. I ended up... more
