Chicago International Hostel

  Customer Review on 20 October 2009 

Where do I start The bath rooms were filthy, the blankets stunk. There were no lockers as advertised. We booked the place simply because it was the only thing in the whole city accessible that was under $200 and I suggest that be the only circumstance any one else book this place. Even if you do book they may still turn you away we saw this happen too numerous times in our 4 night stay.

Staff was accommodating. Location is too far but easily accessible by train which was a plus. Other reviews complained about bed bugs, but I actually saw them wash the sheets and cases whilst I was there for 4 nights. Met wonderful people there and exchanged email addresses. There was no internet access or wifi. I felt secure and secured. Would recommend as an alternative spot to stay.

It gave clear directions to uncover it. It is less than 5 minutes walk from a CTA metro station.

It was cheap. The lady at the desk when I checked in (who&'s last day was the day I left) was nice.

I'd heard bad reviews about the place, but although it was nothing special, all the staff were friendly and helpful, and it is reaonably clean and well kept. Only a block from the lake, train station and shops.

Close to subway, relatively close from the indian neighborhood on Devon riding bus 155.
