Cafe Robey was great for brunch. The rooftop views and areas to have a drink were amazing. Chocolate chip cookies at 4pm were a treat. The room was well laid out and super clean. The blackout blinds - WOW! All of the architectural features of the building, such as the ornate elevator doors, were lovely.

There was only 1 bedside table and lamp for a king bed. The chairs and small table were utilitarian, but a more comfortable chair to read in would have been nice. The pool was tiny.

View from the rooftop and lounge were AMAZING! Room was cool and the bed was super comfy! If you’re looking for an area to do a lot of bar/ club music hopping this area is for perfect for you. Bustling neighborhood with tons of people watching to be had. Soundproof ish rooms blocked out any major noises but realistically you can’t quite down the city

Wish the pool was a little bigger but still had a great time with a great view of one of the best cities!

The owner clearly tried to keep it as original as possible when making any updates. Very nice bedroom with bathroom; perfect size. Great and interesting location too. The building is at a unique spot while due to it being on the corner of a 6 way intersection surrounded by shops and restaurants.

Everytime I tried to go up to the balcony and see the amazing view, the upstairs was closed. I wish I could have gotten a picture of the sunrise at the 6-way intersection.

All of the staff were super friendly and welcoming, the front desk Anthony was great, some other front desk people were great, and the restaurant staff too, everyone at the hotel was talented at engaging guests. The decor of the hotel is stylish and chic. The mini bar included was a nice surprise. The noise machine was great to have. The Le Labo body cream in the room is a luxury.

The bathtub had rust spots, and it lacked elegance, didn't fit the vibe. The restaurant menus at the cafe and the bao bar are a bit weird, and it was hit or miss on different things.

The Robey has been my go to hotel when I visit family nearby. My room was on the tenth floor with perfect views of the city (including the downtown skyline). My room was clean, housekeeping came in when I requested, plenty of towels and beach towels for the rooftop pool. I splurged ordering room service for breakfast. Chai latte, yogurt parfait and an English muffin. It was all so tasty and amazing. I truly love my getaways at The Robey!

Guests are allowed to access the rooftop pool at 8:00 am before it opens to the public at 11:00 am. One morning I wandered up around 9:30 am, truly enjoying myself, reading and admiring the views. When the Cabana club opened at 11:00 am (at this time a few groups of people arrived - I’m guessing they were not guests as they didn’t have the yellow Robey towels). Two servers went directly to all these guests, completely ignoring me. I had to walk inside to place an order. Okay, I get it. I’m a 55 year old woman…invisible. I just had to have a drink, as it’s custom for me when I stay at the Robey but I left soon after. Also noticed three lime wedges in the pool (obviously from the night before)… so I couldn’t help but wonder how clean the pool really is.

Comfy bed, black out shades, pretty quiet despite being on a busy corner, nice bath products and collaboration with Le Labo (enjoyed getting a sample)

Small bathroom. The bathroom door opens towards the bathroom instead of towards the hall. No air vents in bathroom. I wish there were bigger water bottles included with the daily facilities fee.

A special hotel. Decor very well done as it incorporates modern conveniences with the original, almost century-old architecture. Lobby underwhelming. The Up Room view is incredible. Room noise acceptable (I'm very picky) and the sound of the train was similar to that of the a/c - we were on the 9th floor, overlooking the station. We used street parking, which was free from 10pm to 8am. No problem finding a spot (we stayed Wed and Thurs nights). We needed to use our car during the day so this worked well for us.

The lobby area is extremely small and dingy. Not very welcoming. Some of the staff were friendly, others not so much. When I booked I did not notice the resort fee...

The convenience of being able to walk downstairs and have a restaurant available. And not just a restaurant, but an excellent restaurant! The discount was very nice, the gym, The bus and metro.... Everything made it I really wonderful stay.

A small desk and chair in the room would have been Helpful.

It was a great location - right off the Damen stop on the Blue Line, so it is incredibly easy to get to. It is also walking distance from great restaurants and shops in Wicker Park.

The room was a little small and bare, but The Robey is going for that minimal look. It worked for me and my friend since there were only the two of us.

Great staff, free water brought to room on request, kettle brought to room on request. Enormous bathroom. Comfortable sofa in room. Blackout blinds to help with sleep. Lots of eating places nearby.

Heating in the room wasn’t brilliant. Could do with more lighting in room. Noise of trains as it’s next to a train station.
