Clean, convenient hostel.

Liked: Clean neat rooms, with plenty of plug sockets (including international ones). Towels were also provided.
Disliked: It would have been nice to have some cereal options at breakfast.

Pleasant

The hostels in the city...

Good and cheap

Liked: I like the staff and the distance to the rail

Good hostel facilities, problems with...

Liked: Hostel is clean and there are plenty of lockers, showers and toilets. Staff was friendly and despite the problems they helped me solving it quickly.
Disliked: They messed up with my reservation and for 3 consecutive nights there was someone else sleeping at my bed forcing me to move place. They couldn't explain why this was happening. On the 3rd night there were no more available beds at the room and they gave me a private room to fix this.

Very good

This is a charming, fun...

Liked: The Wrigley Hostel was charming! I have another hostel I usually stay at when I'm in Chicago but it was booked. That helped me find this gem. The rooms are bright and clean, temperature control very good, the amenities excellent (great common room with a bar and a comfy computer room) and the staff were kind and professional. It's located in a very fun part of Chicago near Wrigley Field, with many places to eat and drink, and conveniently near the Addison stop on the CTA Red Line. The hostel is youth-oriented and fun; I talked to people from Texas, Australia and New Zealand.
Disliked: My stay was quite good, just two small issues. The bed was a little firm and my dorm room bed abutted the wall near the washroom, so I sometimes heard people coming and going. Fortunately I was tired and this did not keep me awake.

Easy to reach, nice people,...

Liked: Toilets were clean. The check in and check out was very fast. I did meet some nice people during breakfast. Easy to reach. Helpful personnel. Everything else was fine but nothing special.
Disliked: Bathrooms were not clean, already at 7 in the morning. Bed wasn't comfortable at all, the mattress and the pillows and breakfast only has pancakes and some bread as options, lot of scope for improvement

I am going to stay...

Liked: Close to the 'L' and near two Starbucks.
