Great Staff

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Aug 2021via mobile
We came 21 days to the hostal, because we were looking for a room for rent in Lakeview. The place is fantastic and all the staff help us to discover the city. The breakfast is basic, but it has everything (coffee, cereals, french toast, gofre and banana s). The WiFi is perfect. You could call with WhatsApp without interruptions.

In a nut shell, it was just what we need.
Date of stay: August 2021
Room Tip: The 4th floor bathroom is the best.

This place is very clean with extremely friendly workers and fast Wi-Fi.

I had a private room that was very very clean upon check-in and all the common areas were quiet and clean. I was very appreciative of the extremely friendly staff that I interacted with at every point during my stay. It was clear that they all went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, respected and appreciated. Although I missed breakfast, the young man who was cleaning the kitchen, was more than happy to help me make breakfast and taught me how to say apple juice in French!

The young men that checked me in, Waleed and Langston, were sooo nice and made me feel like VIP.

A manager, Vincent, went out of his way to make sure that I would have a private area to have my Zoom class in, even after I checked out.

This hostel is in a perfect location, walking distance to a bunch of cool restaurants and a very nice part of Lincoln Park in Chicago. Highly recommend!

The hostel it’s well decorated, very friendly staff. Great location, you can walk around easily.
Sparkling clean and organized
Nice amenities. I loved the pool table
I will be back for sure
The only issue it’s about the bunk bed because it makes lot of noise.

Hostel muito bem decorado, pessoal da recepção muito atencioso. Super limpo
Muito bem localizado, pode facilmente ir caminhando pela região. Amei a mesa de sinuca e pebolim
Com certeza eu voltarei. Único problema foi a beliche que estava fazendo muito barulho
