Great location. Great staff. Clean rooms and common areas. Lockers and additional storage available but the best part was how easy it was to book and locate - just off the train about a block and right next to Wrigley stadium, if baseball is your thing. Walkability is top tier, as it's near a lot of great restaurants, bars, and other shops. I had never been to this part of Chicago but needed a room for the night so as not to sleep outside union station. Was so comfortable I extended one night to almost a week. Great spot - would recommend!

The staff were excellent and helpful. The other guest were great to be around and were pleasant to be around. Having wrigley field literally a blog away helped with travel time to games. Only downside was that they were children’s bunkbeds and you couldn’t sit up or on the side. But otherwise well worth it

It was a nice place to stay for a night. Conveniently located to go for a run on the lakefront. There is nowhere to get food late at night, though. And everyone's alarms went off at 8 am and then again after their snooze ran out, so no sleeping in for me. But it's fine for one night.

It was okay for 1 night. I'm a 26 yr old female amd stayed in a mix gender dorm. I never felt unsafe inside the hostel. Its EXTREMELY warm in the common areas and they only have AC in the rooms (thank goodness)

I slept on the bottom bunk and it was very comfortable. The person above was moving but the bunk beds are very solid. I didnt hear any creaking nor feel the movement (which i was anticipating)

I came here for a concert at wrigley field and only chose this place for its location and price. Other hotels with private rooms were going for $400+ a night in the same area.

I do think its way overpriced for what it is. $100+ for basically just a bed to sleep in.

The staff were very helpful and nice. The reviews saying otherwise just come under prepared or dont read instructions beforehand. As I also work in hospitality (over 6 years) people usually blame the staff for their own lack of preparation. As long as you read the info the accommodation provides you'll be fine!

Booked a room 2/22/25 following a vehicular emergency. Was able to manage to safely drive to the next exit (Belmont) and parked.. Walked 25 minutes From where I parked to get to this hostel to be told that I could not stay there.... The reason given was because I'm an Illinois resident. This information was not listed anywhere on the Expedia website. I specifically looked for this because I recall seeing a similar policy at hostels that I have stayed at when traveling. The person at the desk could not say where this information was listed. She then proceeded to tell me that I was sent a \"welcome\" email which states this information. I pulled up the email and read it to her. She pulled it up on her computer and reread it and saw for herself that this \"policy\" was not listed there either.... Her response was that she would reach out to management to tell them that it needed to be updated... But that I could not stay the night. I asked for contact information for management so that I could speak to them directly about the circumstances and was told that I could not be given anyone's \"personal\" information and that if I sent an email to the email on the business card on the desk that it would just go to her.... Again it's 7pm on a Saturday night and 20 degrees outside. She canceled my reservation and then told me it may take up to 21 business days for my money to be refunded because only a manager can do that, but i was sent an email stating that cancellations are non-refundable

This was a very unique experience. Overall we enjoyed it. However, the room we were in was on the basement floor and kind of cold. There was no closet or luggage storage on our floor that I knew of. Also the blinds were broken so we did not have total privacy. There was a time in the middle of the night were the pipes started knocking and vibrating so loud, it woke my wife and I up. There was no where to park. But that's not your fault. I would do it again, but definitely not for a long stay.

I travel a lot, domestic and international, and this was my first time to stay at hostel. It was a great first experience! I was in town for the Pearl Jam concert at Wrigley Field, and like a few others my age [50s], we picked Wrigley Hostel due to the location. YOU CANNOT BEAT THE LOCATION! I will say that being older, if I could request a lower bunk next time I absolutely would. Getting down was fun! :) The only inconvenience I would say is the lack of AC. I know it's an old building, but the only AC I felt was the window unit in the room. The common areas [the lounge area is wonderful!] were quite warm. Being from TX I am used to the AC going all the time in the summer. I will definitely stay here again if I travel to Chicago solo. Great experience for this first timer.

Hostel is in the heart of Wrigleyville. Everything you need is within walking distance. Public transportation is 1 block away. I've stayed here many times and everyone is very nice. I love staying here because you meet people from all over the world. Front entrance is locked, no access without key card or code. Common areas are clean. Each room is locked and requires key card to enter. I always feel safe. Parking can be tricky as it is in the neighborhood. The Hostel will provide a parking pass to park in the neighborhood but depending on the time of day and what's going on at the time it can be difficult to find parking. Very affordable

Great location for Wrigley Field events

It was a great location for our event at Wrigley field. It was expensive for what you get, but location great and very convenient. Staff was very nice. Had the private room, was in acceptable condition, dresser was old and broken (not a big deal), bed was comfy, very soft, some dirt under bed. Bathrooms clean enough, one sink clogged. Its a little run down (compared to a hotel), but acceptable, room was secure and it wasnt loud and other guest were cool too. Off site, street parking with a permit, so if theres an event in the neighborhood it can be difficut to find a spot, but it only took us a few trips around the block to find one. Great neighborhood, no problems with street parking otherwise.

Will ask you to leave for no good reason.

DO NOT STAY HERE! Management plays this little game where they kick patrons of multiple stays out without citing why exactly and without refund. Witnessed it twice on my stay. On the 3rd day, i was the evictee. Let the guy overnite tell it, i smelled like weed although possession of weed is completely legal in Illinois and he came into to inspect my room and found no evidence of me smoking (because I was not). Didn't know I signed up for a sober living house. Bottom line, avoid the hassle and find sonewhere else to stay.
