Location:

"The hostel is in a really nice outlying area- good bars and restaurants, by the park and beach but a bit of a distance from downtown although it's not too far from the subway and there are buses." — source Hostelworld

"super hot in the mornings and apparently we weren't allowed to open the windows, other than that it was fun, friendly and in a cool location easy to get to the centre of town from." — source Hostelworld

"Its in a great area and is loads of fun but the rooms need better air conditioning, I could barely sleep some nights." — source Hostelworld

"Nice place, great location if you want to be not in the city, the surrounding area is fun and interesting." — source Hostelworld

"staff were great, rooms were well kept, good toast and jam at breakfast, and lincoln park is a GREAT neighborhood." — source Hostelworld

"I've never stayed in a hostel in the United States, but of all the hostels I've been in down in South America (I traveled there for 4 months) this wasnt even comparable to those, and of course it was threee times the price." — source Hostelworld

"Therefore, I think that the price is just not reasonable." — source Hostelworld

"price is fairly expensive." — source Hostelworld

"The hostel is ok, but need to implement these 2 things: 1) put security lockers in the rooms for free and 2) have some sort of curfew for noise at night and ENFORCING IT. Some people were singing and playing guitar very loudly until 2am and it was VERY LOUD (and our room was at the very end." — source Hostelworld

"no wireless in the room was sad. and it was insanley hot because somehow the air did not change in the room (it was always about 15 - 25 degrees warmer in the room than outside, 3rd floor)." — source Hostelworld

"the showers can be a bit messy and far away from your room, but all in all i highly recomend the arlington to all types of traveller." — source Hostelworld

"For such an expense this hostel is relatively far away from the main sights and has cramped, dilapidated rooms." — source Hostelworld

"No air conditioning in private rooms and due to the old brick construction of the building it gets VERY warm." — source Hostelworld
