We enjoyed the “elevated” hostel stay in our own room, but a shared living space. It was in the perfect location, everything is within walking distance. The only downside is finding parking, but we were lucky enough to find a spot relatively close. The train ran right by our room, it was like our own white noise to lull us to sleep. We’d recommend this place, we felt safe, comfortable, and it was a unique experience. We would recommend to others & come back! ##### Kellen & Jovanna Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cristina 11 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities As a solo traveler, this was the perfect spot for me! Check in was super easy and I loved that the staff let me know they could hold my bags for me until my room was ready. It gave me the freedom to explore without being weighed down. The room itself was kept really clean. The shower facilities were very spacious too. I wish I would have taken more advantage of the spacious kitchen but that was truly the biggest perk for me. I loved having a spot to sit at with a cup of coffee while either planning my busy day or winding down for the night. Would absolutely recommend HI Chicago to any solo travelers and I’ll 100% be staying here again the next time I’m in Chicago. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/97a7ca81-99cd-469a-a97b-f4bce6f4d15e-1762834461825.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aa8d6387-709a-4dd4-b4c9-f4cd0d0a5377-1762834463280.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cristina Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Saurav 5 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 24 hours open check-in, private lockers, clean bathroom, great common area, lots of activities to partake in ##### Saurav Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Thunderbird Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Days-Hotel-By-Wyndham-Thunderbird-Beach-Resort.h425455.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Hawthorne Terrace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chicago-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Hawthorne-Terrace-Hotel.h116850.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in Earl's Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Earls-Court-London-Hotels-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-n553248626912740751-0-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Sliema](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d4220-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Criterion Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Criterion-Theatre-Hotels.0-l553248621561942009-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [River Rooms Nottingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Hotels-River-Rooms-Nottingham.h2057806.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Versey Chicago Lincoln Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chicago-Hotels-Hotel-Versey-Chicago-Lincoln-Park.h22993.Hotel-Information) > > [easyHotel Paris Charles de Gaulle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-EasyHotel-Paris-Charles-De-Gaulle.h73212200.Hotel-Information) > > [Winchester Wessex Hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Winchester-Wessex-Hotel-By-Sunday.h4799.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canary-Wharf-London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-n179523-0-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Galdana Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ciutadella-De-Menorca-Hotels-Apartaments-Galdana-Gardens.h13427993.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Clermont-Ferrand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clermont-Ferrand-Hotels.d812.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Grand Bavaro Princess - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Grand-Bavaro-Princess-All-Inclusive.h2212864.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chicago-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-OHare-Chicago.h5403.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Pula](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pula-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d2908-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Wembley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Wembley-Hotels.s50-0-d4253.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Bayeux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bayeux-Hotels.d4743.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Christchurch (BOH) to Bucharest (OTP)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/boh/otp/bournemouth-to-bucharest) > > [Flights from Sommacampagna (VRN) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/vrn/man/verona-to-manchester) > > [Qatar Airways London (LHR) to Chek Lap Kok (HKG) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/qatar-airways-from-heathrow-to-hong-kong-intl/qr/lhr/hkg) > > [Flights from Leeds (LBA) to Cork (ORK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lba/ork/leeds-to-cork) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Leicester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Leicester.d7583.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Azores Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Azores.d6048267.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals ### General ---
