Hostelling International Chicago

Very big, but also a good hostel, in the middle of downtown, close to the L-station, clean with nice common rooms and nice breaky. The funny and awesome thing about the breakfast is that you can sit at your coffee and watch the L-trains passing by - which i did all the time, all days. It's not a cozy small hostel, but a good one, more like a big company - many guests - many rooms.

This is an excellent hostel because of its location and facilities

It has a community feel about it.

The front desk treat you like human beings.

There is a good feeling about this place.

Definitely recommended

The staff did not discount the money I paid in advance (to hostelsclub.com).

Very bad from them...

great location, big room, great place to stay!

awesome,the hostelling is incredible!for sure ill recomend it!im really happy.

The staff support us, when we had an emergency and they called 911. I was glad to have this help.

The other morning a male staff came into the female room without nocking on the door, that's absolutely a no-go

I was super impressed with Hostel itself and also lcation was more than awesome. I hope to stay in Hostelling International on my next trip!!!

Very good brekfast, 3:rd year I stayed there and I ejoyed that you had added chees for brekfast

Bathrooms are pretty shitty mouldy shower curtains and such also there is only 2 showers per floor which in our room there was 10 girls there is about 10 rooms on each floor so they should probably invest in some more. The location is amazing and the bar crawl was really fun apart from that though the staff are pretty unfriendly and not very helpful at the front desk. Breakfast is pretty good and the kitchen is fantastic.

Very safe, convenient location, friendly staff, wifi is good.

Only negative is bathroom was not very clean and very few showers.

I have stayed in many hostels and HI Chicago was by far one of my favorites!It was clean, friendly, and a great location, close to the center of it all! I would definitely suggest staying here... it's a GREAT deal for the price!

There is nice place for traveler.

But During the time I stayed there, It was hard to use the internet in the hostel.

Definitely the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Really good free breakfast, lots of staff organized tours and events and many cool international travelers to hang out with. I strongly recommend HI Chicago!

The only problem is because my room 409 is close to CTA train line. So the train is 24H and the noise is huge.

Thank you and see you soon!

It's too cold. TOO COLD.

I just needed a place to stay for one night. The guy who checked me in was really kind and helpful. The room was a little cold but was clean,the bed was comfortable and a clean bathroom was a plus!! :0)

great :)

I stayed to in two different rooms here (one booked through your system and the other booked through HI's system). The room and bathroom booked through your system was by far cleaner than the other room and bathroom I had. I don't know why there would be this difference in cleanliness but there is.

I can definitely recommend this hostel. It's the best hostel I've been so far. The rooms were clean and the staff was really helpful...

There is just one bad point: Internet access is only available in the 2nd floor lobby and the connections is very poor. I lost it quite a few times...

I am going to get to 200 caracters. I only have to say, it's a cool place, the people there are nice and serving; there is always some one doesn't like you or you don't like him, but there is no personal stories; professionally they do things right, and more, to satisfy your needs as client. then just one step out there is Cafecito cafe, it is a beautiful place with beautiful people, so nice and kind, food hummm, and service with a big real smile... have a nice sejours there guys

Wifi very unrealiable but I love this place

It's a really good place for students.

For my review I suggest to read the comment in the lonely planet chicago.

Besides: When I wanted to check in, I had to wait for more than 30 min., although there were 3 staff behind the counter: (1) dealing with a guest, (2) eating, (3) at the computer. Then I had to ask to change my room four times, as it was never the one I booked. Staff response is really low - checkout was even worse.

But except for that and the slow Internet, the Hostel is ok.
