HI Chicago Hostel

Location of the Hi Chicago Hostel was great!

Perfect location

Out of their control, but the L train was literally outside our window. For the price we paid it was OK.

The outside of the hostel is full of homeless, making a dirty and unsafe environment

I didn’t like that you had to share bathrooms and there was no tv. No kitchen or microwaves. The beds were comfortable and it is located near everything we wanted to do.

My room also did not have a remote control until I mentioned it to them

Awesome place. Bring or buy a pair of ear plugs

Overall good stay!

The property was clean and secure. They do conduct different events everyday to engage travelers and increase connections

Quite convenient location and pretty well maintained.

Good. Just be prepared for snoring people.

Our room was very clean. The kitchen was a plus for making breakfast.

I love that the people here respect personal space and the staff are always helpful.

Overall nice stay

In order to keep your stuff safe overnight, make sure you BRING A LOCK! Otherwise, you have to buy their lock for $8 and it is NOT worth that price. It annoyed me that this was not communicated; they profited off of my ignorance. Other than that, you get what you pay for. It's not bad for a one-nighter.

My 18 year old stayed at the property during his first solo trip and this is his review: “The room was pretty neat, I had a locker and each bed had its own electric outlet. It was different having roommates but hardly anyone was there at the same time. When I checked in they told me how to get to my room but didn’t explain where anything else was and I was too nervous to ask, so I didn’t see the kitchen or get to play pool, which was fine because I just went out to explore a little bit. Anyone I did interact with staff wise was nice though. I’d stay again.”

I landed in at midnight and they had one bed left I was able to sleep which was great because I was very jet lagged. You can't beat the price for a last minute reservation in the loop.

I checked in early and was offered the option to wait for a bottom bunk. That was nice. There was always staff around, everything was clean, and the location is great in the Loop.

Excellent room.

Loved the amenities given and staff was so helpful with everything. Top bunk kinda sucked in the women’s dorm because it’s shaky but it is what it is lol.
