Bring a master lock for your locker. Also available in the lobby. They cannot fit 32-inch luggages. If you have a PM flight, request a card for access to the rest area on 2nd floor. Free breakfast.
Participate in meal sharing in the large and newly renovated community kitchen on the 2nd floor. Groceries can be found for cheap a few blocks south at Trader Joe's at Roosevelt and Wabash.
RexAugust 3, 2019Great location next to Millennium and Grant Park. Affordable prices compared to hotels and Airbnb’s. Skip the breakfast. Lockers in the room. Outlets by the beds.
Hostelling InternationalJune 28, 2011Kingston Mines was fun. I went with the hostel and was a little skeptical before hand, but ended up having a great time. Wicker park was a pretty cool. Went to a show at the Subterranean and got some
Nadia COctober 21, 2014Clean safe place to crash at night. There's free WiFi with pretty good reception all over the place. Great location, too.- Jason BakerSeptember 6, 2011Can't enough about this hostel. On par with a budget hotel. Very clean, well kept, great amenities, and great service. Beds are comfortable and security is fantastic.

Talk to as many people as possible. Most vistors are international travelers, with interesting backrounds.

Kate CarpenterJune 19, 2013Avoid room 704-2 if you can. The upper bunk is wedged between two walls and there is no way to safely access it. We paid $99/night for one of our party to sleep on the floor.
Colm HanrattyAugust 29, 2010Great hostel in great location. Free wifi too. And lots of organised tours
ShawnAugust 11, 2011$8 off coupons available for 90 minute architectural river cruises with Chicago Line Cruises.
Since Friday the WiFi works only on 2nd floor and is really slow.
