Avoid this hostile at all cost! - we got no clean sheats and bed linen - there were hairs all over our beds - the bathroom was dirty - the clerks were not friendly - the locker system "did not work" - Chicago's noisy trains came by our window every 10 minutes (sounded like WWIII had started) - at least... more

Very comfortable room and bed, giving people a sense of good security, decent breakfast, and satisfactory service. more

Trains go by your window every 6 minutes. Windows are broken, no screens. Tires get slashed all the time. Dishes in the sink haven't been washed in days. Mice, feces and beg bugs are their only repeat guests. You will pay here ONLY to get a terrible nights sleep on the previous tenants sheets, woken up by trains and doors... more

1. CLEANLINESS. Absolutely repulsive, no joke. Men’s bathroom is really filthy, both the toilets, the showers and the sink (full of insects), see attached photos. Believe it or not, nobody cleaned the bathroom in the five days I stayed there. They didn’t even collect some litter from the floor (neither in the bathrooms nor in the dorms). Guests must leave... more

The Chicago Hotel International, started off as a cheap place to stay and most of my stay was pleasant, the staff and one owner are very friendly, even though their were some things that needed to be taken care of such as basic cleaning of the facilities (bathrooms). On my last day there one owner was very rude and hostile... more

Of course my expectations were a bit lower for a hostel than for, say, a nice B&B. But overall, it was not bad. We were with a group of 7, had our own 8 person room the first night and were accompanied by someone else the 2nd night. Breakfast is included, and basic: toast, cake, orange juice, milk, banana's and... more

What a difference a year makes. I've stayed at this hostel many many times over the years. I have experienced it's slow decline from an excellent well-kept and well-run establishment to the "almost ghetto" condition that it is in now. Last year, the change was noticeable but I thought it was perhaps a fluke. WRONG. This time from the moment... more

We arrived at the hostel after a 31 hours train journey so we were looking forward to a lay down before exploring the city, but when we arrived we were told our room wasn't even ready and still occupied. Hearing this we were not pleased, they offered to give us a room to keep our bags untill the room was... more

I stayed here for 4 nights last October, and out of the 10 cities I stayed in, this hostel was the most badly run. I was lucky during my stay, everything was fine, no major problems but the other people in our room weren't so lucky. The management was awful. During my stay, a member of staff walked out leaving... more
