- Leonardo (10/5): Cozy house, comfortable and welcoming - We had a really wonderful stay! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The house was very comfortable, and the bed was especially cozy, which made it easy to relax and sleep well. The location is excellent—very close to the city center and just a short walk from the train station, making it easy to get around and explore. We also enjoyed the continental breakfast, which was fresh and satisfying. The welcome service and overall hospitality were great, making us feel at home right away. Everything was always clean and well-maintained. We truly felt very, very good during our stay and would happily come back again! Leonardo e Sarai
- Charlotte (10/5): Perfect spot to explore Chicago - Fantastic location, very comfortable and great breakfast
- Andrew (10/5): Fabulous property and definitely recommend. - The property was stylish, modern and conveniently located for easy access to Downtown Chicago. Walking distance to the L train and buses could also be used. The Manager/host Jose was on hand to provide information and great breakfast each morning. Our room was modern, very comfortable with a huge bed, large en-suite shower and there was a balcony too. On Road parking was busy but luckily managed to move our car to almost outside the property.
- Angeline (10/5): Very nice stay. I highly recommend it. - Very comfortable- good breakfast- good location- very good coffee when Jose made it.
- Nicole (10/5): Clean, updated property with friendly staff and parking included!! Good location too. Will def be back! - Clean, friendly staff, location

- Okaifio (10/5): Amazing! - It was more than I expected. Beautiful neighborhood. The staff was professional and helpful. I booked standard rooms but it was spacious, spotless, and comfortable. The shower was excellent. It felt like being in my own home. The layout is beautiful. Breakfast was great! Parking was provided and the neighborhood was safe.

- Chantal (10/5): Just love this place, a home away from home!!! - Love this hotel Very cosy and warm feeling, lovely property, amazing comfy beds, lovely breakfast, super clean and really nice staff! Nothing!!!
- Marissa (8/5): Great location, perfect for a weekend getaway to Old Town/Lincoln Park. - Great location in Old Town and near Lincoln Park. Street parking pass with stay was a plus. The fresh breakfast in the kitchen each morning was nice. It was a little noisy in this older house. The sound of the music from the common area on the first floor could be heard from our room upstairs, as well as other sounds like when guests in the room next door flushed the toilet.
- James (9/5): The Sono Chicago is a clean, comfortable, stylish base for Chicago adventures. - Clean, stylish, comfortable room with modern vibe in an elegant urban setting. Outstanding location for Chicago activities.
- Suman (8/5): -
- Han (9/5): - Great new.newly remodeled facility that was very clean and comfortable. Street parking, hard to find a spot nearby. However, it was free
- Ronald (10/5): My Wife and I agreed this is a great choice to stay in Chicago and we will be back! - Great location just outside Downtown in Old Town! Free Street Parking! Beautiful facility and very clean. Rooms nice and bed very comfortable. The Manager was awesome! Very nice and helpful! Nice continental breakfast with great choices! It was little bit too warm in our room all night. We were on the second floor. I slept great but woke up about three-four times because it was too hot.
- Meredyth (10/5): -
- Dr. Natasha (8/5): - Breakfast, location. Has seen better days - a little worn.
- Dr. Natasha (8/5): - Breakfast is always great. Location is fab. It's a little tired. Paint chipping, scuff marks on doors, walls, etc.
- Roberto (10/5): - It felt very homey and peaceful Everything was to our liking
- Orlando (10/5): -
- Michael (9/5): -
- Kirsten (9/5): Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Highly recommend. Jose was very friendly and helpful! - Beautiful interior, California king bed and spacious shower with shower chair. Easy parking on the same side of the street. Loved the neighborhood and very close to the lakefront trail. I liked the breakfast but wish there was options of already made scrambled eggs or sausage. Somewhat small bedroom because of the size of the bed.
- Dario (10/5): - Tutto perfetto, atmosfera fantastica host gentilissimo
- margaret (10/5): -
- Oscar (9/5): -
- Nancy (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay. It was definitely better than staying in a hotel. - The SONO is located in a very nice area. The entire property was beautiful. It is across from a school so although parking is free with stay it can be limited.
- Michael (10/5): -
- Marith (7/5): We were here for just 2 nights during a very cold time so I can’t really give a solid review of the area - it seems nice - It is a nice property. They had a nice spread of breakfast items. We didn’t do our normal walking tours because it was so cold that day but the neighborhood seems nice and it is close to a Metro station and neighborhood eating places. WiFi was good. There was no one to meet us at the property to get the keys even though I had communicated our arrival time. I didn’t know that I needed to call him to have him meet us so we were waiting in the cold for him to walk over from a nearby property. Once we got the keys it was easy to come and go. They need instructions on how to use the TV.
- Jayne (10/5): - Staff were wonderful thank you.
- ANTONIO (9/5): -

- Leon (8/5): -
- David (1/5): It was a horrible experience. - Booked a room for four nights. A hospital stay for my mother necessitated a last minute change in my plans. Notified them on Tuesday ahead of a Thursday-Sunday stay. Got no sympathy from the staff. $2200 DOWN THE DRAIN. I indicated I would pay for half the stay, similar to a policy in place at major/reputable hotels. No movement on their end. I have nothing good to say about the Sono. Will never ever stay there and will spread the word far and wide about my experience.
- Matthias (9/5): Sehr schöne und preiswerte Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage. - Das Personal ist sehr nett und außerordentlich zuvorkommend. Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist sehr hochwertig. Lift gibt es keinen, aber die Koffer sind mir nach oben getragen worden.

- Stacey (9/5): Superb bed and breakfast - Wonderful huge room that felt extremely comfortable and clean. Loved the bed and large shower. The location was near the train station and the added free parking was exactly what we were looking for.
- Logan (10/5): -
- Romi (1/5): I do not recommend this place - Nothing. They never got back to us , awful customer service Awful customer service

- Elhadji Fmd (10/5): Excellent stay at The Sono Chicago! Everything was perfect and I have no complaints. Highly recommend for a seamless exp - Five stars for The Sono Chicago! I really enjoyed my time here. The atmosphere was great, and everything went smoothly during my visit. It’s a wonderful spot to stay while exploring the city. Highly recommended!"
- Nataliia (10/5): Feels like home - Good continental breakfast with sweet cakes, fresh berries, yoghurt, Nutella, butter, variety of bread, boiled eggs, cereal, orange juice, coffee, tea. Plenty of bottles of water and other soft drinks available in the fridge 24/7. Excellent facilities and view from the balcony. Parking pass for the whole street. Rooms refreshed daily. One more trash can would be nice to have. Toiletries may be mounted in the wall for more comfortable shower usage. Would be nice to have some meat/fish options for breakfast. No 24/7 reception.

- Sergio (9/5): Very cozy and warm in Chicago’s winter - Cozy. Nothing
- D Orazio (10/5): Lovely B&B, lovely breakfast - A great place, lovely big room and super comfortable bed, plus an amazing breakfast included. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Close to the Old Town and close to trains and transports A bit anonymous to find the place the first time, could be better sign telling they are there. The fact that there were no elevators was well compensated by the help I got of carrying my heavy suitcase up.
- Adam (10/5): Just perfect -
- Jing (10/5): -
- Weaber (10/5): - Super friendly and communicative staff. Nice location. Clean. Spacious. We missed breakfast because we had to hit the road early and breakfast only started at 8, but there were snacks and water available for us.
- Robert (10/5): -
- Oussama (7/5): - Everything was great, feel like I am home
- Dale (9/5): Very nice, well-furnished rooms that made you feel you were in your own home. Staff were great, along with the very nice - Convenient location, nice accommodations, very nice continental breakfast. Wi-Fi and TV reception/ connectivity in lower rooms needs to be improved
- Heather (10/5): - It was great. Cute area in Chicago, great breakfast, it felt homey. Loved the on street parking. Nothing!
- Lannoo (9/5): -
- Lorenzo (9/5): - Zona residenziale, struttura pulita e personale disponibile Orari della colazione, non ho potuto usufruirne per via della tarda apertura (bene forse se si è in vacanza, non per lavoro)
- Ronald (10/5): - This neighborhood and the property itself was amazing. Really clean, Ive never seen B&B this immaculate. The rooftop views were really great too!
- Paul (9/5): -
- Kathryn (10/5): Comfortable, clean, cute - Very cute B&B. Excellent breakfast prepared each day! Good location, quiet street, nearby restaurants. Fantastic free street parking courtesy of the parking pass provided at check-in. I had the bedroom directly beneath the kitchen, so I could hear a lot of footsteps in the morning, but nothing too early or too loud.
- Jodie (10/5): -
- Mark Stun (6/5): -
- Frosini (10/5): -
- Nancy (9/5): - Stairs
- Kathleen (10/5): - Jose was excellent host. Hreat amenities and nice breakfast.He accommodated our work needs and was very flexible. We will stay again!
- Rafael (10/5): Perfect. - Everything was great! I highly recommend The Sono to everyone. Perfect location, spotless rooms, friendly staff, and delicious breakfast.
- Marco (9/5): - La struttura e il suo arredamento... Che siamo stati messi in una stanza in cantina, senza esserci accorti che avevamo prenotato il piano interrato. Evidentemente qualcosa è ingannevole?
- ken (10/5): Really fun and very spacious room, and rooftop bar made it even more enjoyable - Fun, artful decor Stairs to navigate
- Jane (10/5): -
- Kenneth (10/5): -
- Colin (9/5): - Good quiet residential location just outside Downtown, but close to good bar and restaurants. Loved the breakfasts and open snacks fridge. Ideally I needed a desk in the room to work, but then I was there for a weekend so no problem.
- Allison (9/5): -
- ALEXANDRE (10/5): Recomendo muito. - Tudo, principalmente da atenção do José, que fala português além de outras línguas.
- Dominik (9/5): -
- Susan (9/5): We’d stay there again. - Quiet, very nice room and kitchen No thermostat in the room and it would get stuffy so opened the door a lot
- Wallace (10/5): loved it, would stay again in a heartbeat - beautiful, well appointed, clean property with very helpful and responsive staff
- 김 (10/5): -
- David (10/5): - Beautiful building on quiet, tree lined street. Comfy beds and nice linens. Look forward to staying here again!
- Olivia (5/5): Steep price for average service and noisy bedroom. - Beautiful town hall with a big kitchen. Bedding is very comfortable and bathroom is well renovated. Beware of which room you choose. We were in the basement and the windows didn't open. When I complained about a fishy smell, the only answer I got was "It's because we just changed the carpet" without any suggestion for help. Furthermore, we could hear our host preparing breakfast as of 7 in the morning as well as the housekeeper as the room was located right under the kitchen. There isn't much privacy/insonorisation. I find the price quite steep.
- Terita (10/5): - If you're ever in Chicago and craving a quiet, tucked-away spot that still keeps you close to the action, The Sono Chicago might be your kind of place. It's nestled in Old Town, surrounded by tree-lined streets and that peaceful, residential vibe that makes you feel like a local. Let's talk rooms first. They're simple, clean, and comfortable—nothing over-the-top, but definitely a step up from your average hotel. The beds are cozy, the space is quiet, and everything feels fresh and well-kept. Just a heads-up: there's no elevator, so if you're hauling a big suitcase, you'll get a little workout. Now, breakfast, available from 8 am to 10 am, is continental, but thoughtfully prepared—think hard-boiled eggs, pastries, fruit, and good coffee. The shared kitchen and lounge area are a highlight, offering a bright, modern space perfect for relaxing or chatting with fellow guests. One of my favorite spots? The outdoor seating. It's the kind of place where you can sip tea, reflect, and feel like you're miles away from the hustle. The staff? Lovely. They're attentive without hovering, and genuinely helpful. Whether it's answering questions or ensuring breakfast is stocked, they have that warm, welcoming energy that makes a big difference. If you're looking for a peaceful, well-run place with a boutique feel and a great location, this one's worth bookmarking. Thank you for a wonderful time!
- Molly (10/5): Great hosts & very welcoming also very helpful- delightful stay would highly reccomend!! 😊 - Lovely property and good location!
- Karine (9/5): Très agréable séjour - La literie, la douche, le balcon, le petit-déjeuner La ventilation centrale qui se met en route de manière automatique
- Leilani (10/5): - Very clean facility; manager Jose was very responsive and helpful; no in-room fridge but we were allowed space in the kitchen’s large fridge to store a few items; easy walk to bus and train and to restaurants.
- Manuela (10/5): Great place - Everything was seamless and such a great space. The staff was friendly and the permit parking was great! Breakfast was lovely as were the common and outdoor areas. Would definitely come back.
- Roncoroni (10/5): - Everything was amazing: great breakfast, clean room, safe and quiet neighborhood, great location (close to the train station), beautiful view from the rooftop. Forniture was super cozy. I can't wait to go back to this amazing B&B. Not even one bad thing I can think of writing about this place.
- Hans-Christoph (9/5): Seh schönes B+B - Schönes Stadthaus, ruhig gelegen, angenehmes Viertel, gutes Frühstück, Nähe zur L Wie fanden es zu kühl durch die A/C. Regulierung über die Luftschächte mussten wir erst rausfinden
