The location of HI Chicago Hostel is great—easy access to public transport and major sights. The room and facilities were just okay, nothing special, but clean enough. Overall, it’s a decent option for solo travelers looking for a central and affordable place to stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful throughout my visit. I especially loved the breakfast — it had a great variety of fresh and delicious options. The location is also perfect, close to many shops and tourist attractions. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and relaxing stay. I look forward to visiting again!

The service is terrible. I already had an order number on Ctrip, but I still had to pay when checking in. If I didn't pay, I wouldn't be allowed to stay. Their attitude was very nonchalant.

There was almost no food left when breakfast was late, and the staff said they would not replenish it. The room was relatively clean and shared a kitchen, but there was no stove, so you couldn't cook.
