I sleep in dozens of hotels a year, both for work and leisure travel. I seldom leave reviews. But opinions are so split on Selina Chicago that I feel compelled. First, I found it clean throughout. The common spaces were fun and quirky-- definitely not cookie cutter. As for the rooms, my room 608 was solid 4 star: great bed, fresh remodel. The only downsides were wall-to-wall carpeting that could use a refresh, and dated bathroom (clean, but with a 1970s style low wide toilet, etc). And a slow shower drain that left you in 3 inches of water after a 5 minute shower. That's always gross. I suspect opinions differ on Selina because it is essentially TWO hotels in one: a hostel and a hotel. These are separated by floor. The second floor has common areas incl small kitchen, "cinema room," meeting room, and bar/lounge area. If you're looking for a hotel (as opposed to a hostel-- I can't speak to that), ignore the negative reviews. This is a clean, charming, non-cookie-cutter 3.5 star hotel in a very convenient location (pro tip: Jeni's ice cream one block away has the BEST ice cream ever). and very reasonably priced for the neighborhood.

What a total dissapointment. Right now, we are waiting for some from the front desk to show up to collect our luggage from the storage room, as well as other guests too to be attended. Long wait, but no one at the front desk. We had no cleaning service for the 2 nights that we stayed, slippery bathtubs, so it´s no safe for elder guests and my room had a permanent water dripping sound from the air conditioning system. No nice smiles at the front desk. Never coming back.

Hotel is in a great location but is in need of a revamp/modernisation. The co-working space and lobby are nice and modern but they do not reflect the room. Beds were clean but the room carpet was a little dirty. Bathroom was old but the water pressure was good. Overall ticks the box to visit downtown but not special in anyway.

This place is not a hotel. They falsely advertise, but it is a hostel (and not a great one, there are better hostels in the city). upon arrival, we found out that there was no AC and it was 80 degrees outside, which meant that the building was VERY hot. ||Upon getting to our room, we found it to be very underwhelming. The beds were clean but other than that the room felt disgusting. There were layers of grime on every surface, The bathroom looked as though it had not been cleaned, and our window would not stay open. The carpet did not fit the room and the wallpaper was peeling off. There was a huge patch on our wall that looked as if it had been cut out and then just covered up.|| For the price you pay, you would hope for better. If you want a hostel experience, there are better options in the city. But this place should not be considered a hotel.

I expected old, run down, and no extras based on the price I booked it for, but this was worse. Number 1, the AC not working would’ve been better, it actually blew hot air. So when I got into the room the thermostat said 80. After turning the ac on, and lowering the temp I waited for it to cool down. Couple minutes later I checked and the thermostat was up to 82. I check the vents and it’s actually blowing hot air. I ended up turning the ac off, putting a roll of toilet paper to keep the window up a little. Ambien was the only reason I was able to sleep.

Garbage, garbage, garbage. This hotel is dirty and just plain awful. Stay away. |The room is super dirty and poorly designed. There’s no normal amenities such as drinking glasses. You’re on your own. |While we were waiting for the elevator we overheard a couple who had just checked in complaining that their room is occupied. |This place is absolute trash. Truly regret this booking.

Unfortunately, the hotel was not up to standards. It is a very old building, and the room we stayed at, was not visually appealing (the pictures online, are not what you’re likely to book). The bathroom is from the 1920’s or older and it was not close to Millenium Park and Grant Park. To make matters worse, we bought and labeled our Trader Joe’s paper bag to keep our food inside the fridge to eat it for breakfast the next day, and it was STOLEN! The owner of this building needs to ultimately renovate the hotel and come up with a better system to not allow for people’s food to be stolen. At least there weren’t any bed bugs lol. That would’ve been a big NO NO for me.
