HI Chicago has twice been an above average hostel experience. The facility is exceptionally well taken care of & convenient to transit. The common spaces are comfortable with plenty of space. Beds are perfectly balanced soft/firm & pillows/bedding...

The location was perfect for commuting to near metro station. The room had its own washroom, so didnt had to travel out of room, which proved super convenient for me to crash for a night. the beds were super comfortable.
