Why this building matters

Wrigleyville grew up around Wrigley Field, the 1914 ballpark that gives the neighborhood its name and its rhythm. Established in 2013 in an older Sheffield Avenue building barely 700 feet from the park, Wrigley Hostel puts budget travelers and baseball fans in the middle of it — a block from the Addison Red Line and surrounded by the bars and music clubs of Clark Street, including the storied Metro. It is a sociable, no-frills base for seeing the North Side affordably.

What guests are saying

What guests love

  • An unbeatable location — about 700 feet from Wrigley Field and a block from the ‘L’.
  • A communal kitchen, lounge, computer room, and an outdoor deck with a BBQ grill.
  • A friendly, social atmosphere (and a resident dog).

What to keep in mind

  • Shared, hostel-style accommodations — not a traditional hotel
  • Game-day Wrigleyville is lively and loud

Best for Budget travelers, solo adventurers, and Cubs fans who want to be steps from the ballpark and the nightlife.
