Sure! Here’s a short review you can use: ⸻ My stay at Chicago Getaway Hostel was amazing! The rooms and bathrooms were super clean, which made the whole experience even better. The location is top tier, just steps away from the trains and bus stops, making it easy to get around the city. Plus, being surrounded by a college campus gave the area a fun, vibrant vibe. I’d definitely stay here again!

I’ve stayed here a couple times. Great location and reasonable prices. Clean, free breakfast, and nice common areas. The property is in a wealthy, walkable area in a historic building. It can be hard to park.
