Hamlin House is a true bed and breakfast experience, not just an Air Bnb. Everything is exactly as advertised in the best possible sense. The exterior of the building is manicured and attractive, the rooms are clean, well-stocked with essentials, and full of subtle touches that make one feel welcomed and spoiled. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, coffee was hot and tasty, other guests were polite, eclectic, and entertaining. Location is in the heart of UofC (very safe if you have not been before and are concerned) and a short walk to all of the local campus haunts. We saved a ton of money by staying at Hamlin in Hyde Park and commuting into the city via a combination of Uber, Lyft, Curb (Chicago’s official cab app) and the nearby train during our long weekend vacation. Caryl was away for most of the weekend but was frequently in touch to make sure we were taken care of and a friendly, gracious host. I would 100% return here for any visit to Hyde Park or downtown Chicago!
