We continue our can’t-be-beat Hostel values Hot Topic Series with budgetplaces.com. Last week we featured a collection of hidden Hostel treasures in the Big Apple. This week, we hop to the mid-west to examine where you can snag the best value digs in Chicago.

If expensive hotel rates are holding you back from visiting the one and only Windy City, then explore budgetplaces.com’s favorite hostel option:
