  • Have been driving across the country for over a week now and managed to rest up a bit and visit downtown Chicago. Spent the day looking for this iconic piece and finally found it. The Chicago Theatre was built in 1921 and was originally named the Balaban and Katz Chicago Theatre. This building has become the unofficial landmark for Chicago representing the rich arts and music culture Chicago is known for. In 1979 the building was added to the list of historic buildings, and later in 1983 was added as an official landmark for the City of Chicago.

The hostel room was spacious and clean. The building is old and beautiful and has a lot of character. There are clean bathrooms on each floor with shampoo, conditioner and showers. The people working here were very kind and courteous. The rooms are only accessible by stairs, which was no trouble for me, but would not be accessible for others with disabilities related to movement.

My friends and I were looking for an affordable last minute spot and this place was perfect. They have a private room option which fit all of us perfectly -- the bathrooms were really clean which put us at ease. The other guests were also kind and friendly. The hostel was near the Blue line which was convenient for our travels. Since it's in Greektown, there was much to explore in the neighborhood as well as tasty food options within walking distance. This booking was a lovely surprise and I would recommend/ stay again!

Great Experience

It was great for what I needed. Bed was decently comfortable for one night. More importantly, the bed was clean. The price was cheap compared to the hotels, especially in my case. Service was great, check in & check out are super easy. I’d come back for sure.

Major issue was no elevator and need to climb two flights with heavy bags. Staff very courteous, able to check bags and late arrival with no major issues, glad to get lower bunk. Perhaps greater information on use of food / refrigeration for those unfamiliar with hostels, but very reasonable price considering difficulty in finding hotel in Chicago for under $200 a night.

the woman’s bathroom has absolutely no lock on it. not even the showers. anyone of the other guest can simply walk in if cameras aren’t watching 24/7. i looked past the extremely small room, almost as if i was in jail, not even a tv lol . just to go use the bathroom and was in total disbelief. but i can say it was good customer service

The owners recently remodeled. I don't know what it was like before, but now it is very clean and spare. Communication is excellent. I was able to reach people on the telephone. What a miracle! Remember to bring a lock for the locker, if you're sharing a room with someone. I did not, so I paid $10 for a lock. I should have brought one from home. :-( Next time I might not share a room. Not because anybody was problematic, but because I have special needs and I think it's just easier if I'm by myself. I hope they keep it as clean in the future as it was this weekend.
