We had a full bed for the parents and bunkbeds for my two young adult boys who didn’t want to sleep together in the same bed at the hotel so it worked out well for our family. The LINKIN PARK area was really enjoyable and had lots to do and what we couldn’t do close to us. We could go on the owl for five dollars a day and get to wherever we need to be so we got to go to Chinatown and we went to the Christialkind Market and then we were able to come back and see the Lincoln park lights. It was awesome.

The Chicago Getaway Hostel was perfect for a quick solo trip! It was conveniently located near lots of businesses and restaurants. My only complaint was that I found large hair balls in my room. So I would suggest and a more in-depth join at cleaning/vacuuming.

Chicago Getaway Hostel was a great choice for a quiet and affordable stay in the Windy City. Situated in the picturesque Lincoln Park area, but close to plenty of public transport options to take you downtown, there is a lot to like about this budget-friendly accommodation. The room was very clean, the bed surprisingly comfortable, the continental breakfast generous, and the amenities (including kitchen and laundry access) more than satisfactory for the price. If you arrive late or don't feel like heading out for dinner, there is a small shop on site where you can buy pre-prepared food and treats. There are a few peculiarities to deal with (e.g. in the women's showers on the second floor, you could choose between adequate lighting/ventilation or privacy, but you couldn't have both) but in general this is a great option for visitors who are happy with something "cheap and cheerful" but who still appreciate a bit of comfort along the way.
