IranThis was my first experience staying in a hostel and dorm-style accommodation, and I honestly can't say enough positive things about my stay at Hi Chicago Hostel! Everything exceeded my expectations. The hostel was clean, felt safe, and provided a variety of engaging activities such as morning yoga sessions, sightseeing tours, and more, far beyond what you'd typically expect from hostel accommodations. The location is also a huge plus. Highly recommend staying here!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Clean comfortable beds and room. Great location, walking distance from regional trains and metro. Always worth the visit. A better breakfast than I’ve had on previous visits. Safe. This hostel looks and feels safe.

The entire facility was very clean and safe. Great location within walking distance to a lot of sites and great transportation options nearby. I liked the privacy of the curtains for each bunk bed.

Gorgeous Patio! Don't expect any breathtaking views, but expect a great patio to eat your lunch/breakfast and hang out with other guests!
Hostel has quiet hours and is not generally a party hub. Guests were all very respectful.
The hostel has a very strong college dormitory vibe to it. Making it easy to meet new people and make friends. Great for a solo traveler. The average age of guests was pretty well under 30, but there were some travelers over 30 as well.
Free Breakfast on weekends!

The staff was very nice and I could check in earlier because my bed was already ready. Everything is clean and spaceous. It' located in a safe area and the Hostel makes sure that only guests can enter. It's very cheap and you get a lot for the price! The WLan is working perfectely. They have a huge kitchen. There's a restaurant right next to the Hostel. The Hostel is located perfectly! There's a underground trainstation just around the corner. Very well done.
