Pleasantly surprised!
Very, very nice property! Friendly service, friendly people. Not much noise. Great signage. The bed was super comfortable - if you like a waterbed, the bunk bed is the next best thing! Bathroom nice and clean, and cleanliness overall, super!

The lack of breakfast options was under whelming for sure. No TV in the rooms. Shared bathrooms with the entire floor you get put on. Didn't realize it was a former all girls boarding school. For sure enjoyed the numerous different languages I did encounter during my stay.

Great choice
Wonderful location in Lincoln Park neighborhood and economical. In addition to things like flip flops for shared bathroom/showers recommend bringing sheets if polyester is uncomfortable for you. Most of the staff are helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our week and walking to the nearby CTA train station. Only about ten minutes. Also short walks to restaurants and great entertainment like Galway Arms and Kingston Mines.

GREAT value hostel in a super nice area. This is not the Four Seasons... but for around $50 a night for a room with a private toilet (shared bath) this place is a great deal. Located on a leafy, quiet street in a very upscale neighborhood. Highly recommended for those on a budget.
