Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This is a great, no-frills hostel situated in between UIC-Chicago and Greektown. The staff is courteous, friendly, and offered great suggestions as to places to see in Chicago. Offering cooking facilities, shared refrigerator, free coffee, tea and a common room to watch tv or use the free wifi, this is a great choice when visiting the city for a budget-friendly option to larger hotels. A few issues - the hostel is not wheelchair-friendly; there are several staircases to navigate [which might also be an issue if you have a lot of luggage]. As well, while the building is well-maintained, the rooms [I was in a west-facing room] are very cold at night. I imagine that, in the Summer, they might be uncomfortably warm. I have heard that the owners are planning to install washer-dryers in the hostel, which would make a very welcome addition to the hostel.

They let me leave my suitcase before checking in properly since i arrived a couple hours earlier than i expected. No additional surcharges, i was able to prepay over the phone so all i needed was my id and a signature, all in all, for a 2 and a half night stay, it was really excellent!
