Guest rooms at the Chicago Getaway Hostel include access to free lockers; locks are not provided but are available for purchase. Bed linens are provided. Select rooms include a private bathroom or a shared bathroom. The location is amazing and accessible by train. Really safe and chic neighborhood. We booked a private room for 2 people so it was just ours. Even if the bathrooms are shared, they are clean. You have breakfast included, it is not very diverse but it will help you start the day.

Set in Chicago and with Museum of Science and Industry - Chicago reachable within 7.9 km, Pill Hill Mansion offers a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is around 16 km from Guaranteed Rate Field, 17 km from Field Museum Of Natural History and 17 km from Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum. Grant Park is 18 km from the hostel and Buckingham Memorial Fountain is 18 km away. I had an amazing 9-day stay at this property! The location is perfect—close to everything yet in a peaceful, safe neighborhood. The area has a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, with great people around. The property itself is exceptional—well-maintained, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Wrigley Hostel is just steps away from Wrigley Field and only a 10-minute walk to the nearest public beach. Public Transportation is only a block away, hop on the 'L' at the Addison station to take you downtown or further north. Free WiFi is available to guests. I love this hostel. The location - that’s Wrigley Field, right on the doorstep, and the rest of the area is similarly lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful and two of them led us wonderfully astray on a crawl of Wrigleyville’s bars. Transport connections to the city were very close and very easy. Do-Rite Donuts around the corner for breakfast. Literally a perfect pied a terre for experiencing Chicago
