HI Chicago

I needed to sleep for a few hours before catching a 5am flight out of MDW, and this ended up being a perfect place to do that. I've always had great experiences with HI-Chicago, and this was no exception. The accommodations were wonderful, and I appreciated being in a bunk room with an en suite bathroom. And the woman at the registration desk was incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hostel!

Fabulous place to stay! The rooms are modern and clean. Plenty of bathrooms and showers. There are pool tables, ping pong tables, and free daily activities to sign up for. The location is excellent, close to Lake Michigan and an L station. Very friendly staff!

Excellent place to stay extremely friendly and professional staff and great service. I will return soon recommend this hostel to others. My stay on Christmas Day included a free home cooked dinner. Thanks for your hospitality.

It was great. Quite neat, roomie and good for it's price.

I'm​ Jaruwam from​ Bangkok, Thailand.​ HI​ Chicago​ is​ definitely my​ favorite.​ It's​ very​ comfy as​ all rooms are​ so spacious: bedrooms, bath​rooms, dining​ room, and​common areas.​ Apparently, the​ management and​ its staff​ work​ hard around the​ clock to​ make​ sure that​ the facility​ is​ clean and​ tidy. Cleaning​ is​ done not​ only during​ the daytime.​ I​ saw a​ housekeeping staff​ cleaning the​bathrooms when​ I​ woke up​ to​ use the​ hallway restroom at​ 3​ am. one night.​ The​ complimentary breakfast​ has​ a​ variety of​ good​ choices.​ Another​ plus is​ the free​ activities, like​ Downtown​ Walking​ Tour, and​ etc.​ I​ stayed at​ HI Chicago​ for​ 2​ weeks when​ I visited Chicago​ in Nov.​2019.​ I​ wish I​ could move​ in​ there and​ make it​ my​ home 😊

HI Chicago was truly an enjoyable experience! The staff were very courteous and helpful, giving valuable information about the local culture to this first-time Chicago visitor...

A good stay apart from a misunderstanding which resultedn in books being removed and not returned. This was not deliberate but still irritating. Not having fresh fruit for braekfast for a couple of days was disppointing but at least the canned stuff was not full of sugar. Great staff. Good location

All was great service, the people at recepction were very helpful and by the way the food for the marathoners was very good dinner and breakfast awesome and last one I was happy that they let us stay more than the hour paid in order to pick up our stuff after the race. THANK YOU!

you may get a room/dorm with the el right outside the window. they had a chicago hotdog night, but no chicago dish pizza night.

Minimalist accommodations sharing spaces with international guests wonderful
