Honestly a good option to stay near the center of the city, the price was amazing compared to any other, it’s 9 minutes away from the CTA blue line so you can move everywhere without problems, the facilities were good, I think they were in process of renovation so a little dust was present, but the kitchen, rooms and bathrooms were really nice
The property doesn’t have room heating so at night gets reallyyyyy cold, and doesn’t have extra blankets

Amelio went out of his way to support me during my stay and cater to all my needs, including carrying my luggage up to the third floor, giving me a band-aid after I took a fall during a walk. He also got me decaf coffee and gave me valuable information how to get around, where to eat and shop during my 4-day stay for the 2026 Chicago Marathon. Amelio made my stay at Stay 424 Hostel very personable. Traveling as a woman by myself, he made me feel welcome and safe.
Two things:
1. I stayed in a private room with shared bathroom (room E in 3 F). All the windows to the street were blinded with advertising for the youth hostel on the outside facing the street. That required lights to be turned on any time of the day with no view to the outside. Made me feel a bit depressed, since I like natural light in the rooms I stay and live.
2. The shower was not strong. Very little water came out. Therefore I had to spent a lot more time in the shower to fully clean myself, - especially after the marathon. At one time the water flow stopped completely and I had to leave the shower room to call for help, which btw came quickly!
Both issues should be addressed by the administration and thus would make everyone's stay a lot more convenient.

The staff is who made our stay. Emilio, Syd and CJ were so wonderful to us. Showed us around the neighborhood, recommended attractions, always made sure we were comfortable and had plenty of things to do.
The construction was loud, but that's out of their control. There was a large flood that took place a few weeks before we arrived. That being said, I'm excited to come back next year to see the place after all the renovations have been completed!

The foyer. With music games and food for entertainment ; it was a vibe I’m use to in Chicago . You didn’t disappoint
Those steps leading into the dormitory . I’ve never been in a hostel and it was shocking the number of steps you had to go through. Fortunately, the owner’s ( manager) was ready to help me. I’m disabled and I was tired not able to wash decently; a bit taxed. So I was in a mood, lol
