Great Value and Location
Very easy to find and conveniently located near the ball park.
Dirty showers and pushy staff.
This place is a little condescending. They building isn't all that great, and the kitchen smells a little like outdated milk. The basement common room is a little tight for groups and the "bar" is a couple of shelves with a full fridge of food and a trashcan. They could really clean the bathrooms cause the shower floors felt grimy and sewery. The staff were a little unpleasant when it comes to idleness and keeping to yourself -- "Is everything ok? You can't stand here if you look unhappy?" "I was charging up my phone!" Around 11pm is when things close inside, so you better finish your drinks and keep quiet or else you risk confrontation with the owner. The beds are cheap, which on a weekend, can save you money and stress from walking around looking for other lodgings. They were nice about payment, accepting my father's card over the phone. There is a $5 dollar deposit, which can be alleviated with a drivers license but I don't recommend it.
Nice mattresses, dirty bathrooms.
The hostel is located in a prime location, right by Wrigley Field and the nightlife around Clark Street is great. However, the hostel is a little poor when it comes to amenities. The seating isn't all that great, with fold up chairs and Ikea stools that will break tomorrow, and the bathtub that looks like it was picked up off the street. It could be a little more up to date with washing dishes procedures -- there is only a sponge and soap. The staff are nice, but the 24hour reception seems not needed and it bothers me a little when I got up to get a glass of water. Overall, they are lacking with security and it brings down the location pros along with dirty mop and diluted cleaning solution housecleaning ethics, which make me think the extra five or ten dollars to stay at another place is worth the expense over a cold and athletes foot for a week.
GOOD
Close to subway station. Staff was very helpful. Pancake breakfast was good!
All great
Very nice, clean, and fun! Wife and I liked it very much! Staff was very attentive and helpful.
Friendly, Fun, Affordable.
I stayed at Wrigley Hostel for a couple nights last week and I loved my experience. Vicky -- our host -- was wonderful and welcoming. She and the rest of the staff truly went out of their way to make the guests feel welcome. One night staff, cooked us some bbq at 2am as we were hanging out on the deck. The location is great. Fun neighbourhood with easy access to the subway. All of this reasonably price. I'd go again. til next time.
