Colleen Galvin

This was an amazing place for my friend’s bachelorette party. We stayed at the Aloha location and had an experience nothing short of amazing. It’s a great space that is decorated very cute and has great accommodations. There are adorable neon signs around that make for great photos. It was very clean when we arrived, they allowed us to check in super early, the beds were comfortable, there was plenty of room, an abundance of towels, and an easy check in and check out process. One thing I will say is be prepared as you unload because there are a LOT of stairs! Overall, it was such a great experience— I didn’t want to leave!

I had my 40th birthday party at the Aloha Bangtel (top floor) and it was awesome! Everyone thought it was such a cool space. It was very PINK which I loved and had the perfect vibe for a cocktail party. We hired a bartender and used the kitchen island as the bar/food HQ. The instructions on how to get in were sent a day in advance and no one had any issues. Plus, we were able to secure a parking spot for my parents which they really appreciated. Overall it was a great venue and I'd definitely book it again!

This is my second stay at Bangtel and once again, a 11/10 experience! We stayed at the Aloha 2.0 and it is *literally* in the best location....steps away from anything you could need and some of the best shops and eats in the whole city! Truly in the heart of Wicker Park. The inside is so spacious and accommodating for bigger groups. Thank you Liz for another wonderful stay!! We love your spaces <3

Nikki Napalm

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Bangtel’s Mr. Pink’s Poolhouse in Palm Springs! We rented it out for our microwedding and it turned out to be perfect for the backyard ceremony and short term stay. The home was really clean and secure, and was located in a really nice safe neighborhood, about 10–15 minutes away from the Palm Springs airport, Starbucks, grocery store, shopping and restaurants, the aerial tramway and everything we needed to get to! Pre-booking communication was great and the team made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was inviting and the decor and little details of the property were a delight to all! We can’t wait to book again for future anniversaries and getaways!

BANGTEL'S El Motel Dos with Patio in Logan Square was the perfect stay! We met up with family for an extended weekend music festival and had a group of 10. The apartment is spacious as is the back patio! We had 3 beautiful nights so we were happy to be able to use the patio space. Inside or out you can't take a bad photo as the decor is bright and fun. The beds are comfortable and we all slept great. This unit has 2 bathrooms with one in the hall and one in the master bedroom. Logan square is a fun neighborhood with a lively night life with multiple bars and restaurants on the block and more in walking distance off thr block. Target is also just down the block so you can grab groceries after you arrive or pick up anything else you may have forgotton. The L train is only a 5 minute walk. We were able to rent a locked garage spot on the property and didn't have to drive our vehicles our entire 4 day stay. Our unit was secure and we all felt safe in this neighborhood. I recommend this unit if you are looking for a fun and comfortable stay! I will definitely be staying here again next time I travel to the Chicago area.

Ryan Tharpe

This place was awesome. We stayed in Aloha 2.0 and I cant say enough good things about the entire experience. The location is so great, we were walking distance to everything we needed nearby and more. Chicago is such a fun city and Wicker Park had everything we could have wanted. The Bangtel management team was extremely responsive. They accommodated our early check in and even left a gift for our bachelorette. Throughout the weekend they engaged with us via email and through Instagram tagging our bachelorette and sharing the pics I sent them. So much fun and an easy way to make this such a cool and unique experience. Space accommodated our group of 10 and allowed us to have fun worry-free for the entire weekend. We absolutely loved it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Book it if you’re thinking about it.

Patrick Creed

We stayed at Motel Dos for a bachelor party and the place was incredible! Everything was absolutely beautiful. The location was outstanding. The beds were SO comfortable. Everyone at BANGtel was so kind and easy to work with. Anything we needed was taken care of. I cannot recommend them enough!

Kara Potter

This was a perfect location for our group of 9 for my bachelorette party! We stayed at Aloha 2.0. It was spacious, bright and had such a great vibe! Wicker Park was awesome and it was easy to get to other parts of the city! Highly recommend! They even had champagne chilling upon our arrival, which was a great touch! I can't wait to go back. Thank you, BANGTEL!

Shams Noorani

My wife and I stayed at Liz’s property while our home was being remodeled and we both highly recommend them! Liz and Marla went out of the way to ensure we had everything we needed to make our long term stay comfortable! Very easy to get in touch with, responsive and incredibly nice people, The unit itself is great, very spacious and well appointed. The location is also right in the mix of things in Logan square. We can’t recommend them enough!

Samantha

We stayed at El Motel for my husband's 40th birthday (visiting to attend ARC music festival!). We rented out both floors and had plenty of space for everyone. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. The walkablity to the trains was great, we never once needed to uber. There are plenty of restaurants and bars all in very close walking distance (like right downstairs!) The hosts were very accomodating and responsive (although we didnt need much!) We would definitely come and stay again! Thanks Bangtel Team!

Taylor Heaton

The ladies at Bangtel are unbelievably accommodating and helpful! They have made the entire booking experience as stress free as possible and have gone above and beyond with providing payment options as well as additional services to make our stay as awesome as possible!! Can't recommend Bangtel enough!

Eric Benrus

My best friends and I rented BANGTEL's Aloha and Aloha 2.0 properties in mid-January for an annual get together. I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about the people who run this company, their stellar communication, and the amazing properties they offer! From initial contact to checkout, our experience was smooth as could be, and all of my questions were always answered with zero delay. My entire group agreed that both of the properties we rented were 10/10. The pictures don't quite do justice to how spacious both Aloha and Aloha 2.0 are, and in person the décor is even more spectacular. We had way more than enough space and beds for our group of 13, and by renting both properties we had no neighbors except for the retail space on the first floor. Check in was a breeze with a numbered keypad outside, as well as one for each unit. I really appreciated the guide BANGTEL sent prior to our reservation with tons of helpful information on the property. The beds are extremely comfortable, all the bathrooms are stocked with the essentials, and the kitchen has everything you need to make a feast for a large group. Lastly, the location couldn't be better: right in the middle of the action in Wicker Park; walking distance to all the restaurants, bars, cafes, public transit, etc. that the neighborhood has to offer. What are you waiting for? Go book your stay!! (Just don't pick the dates that we need for our return). Thanks again for everything BANGTEL!

Breezy Mellijor

We stayed at Bangtel for our company's annual leadership retreat and it was a perfect space for our team! The kitchen was well stocked with baking dishes and utensils and the rooms were very cute - the perfect amount of space for our smaller team. We had issues with the espresso machine but the Bangtel team was so responsive and helpful, we really appreciated their attentiveness. They were easy to communicate with and available for our questions! We would definitely stay here again.

Morgan Walworth

WOW! Aloha 2.0 was unbelievable. This space could not have been more perfect for hosting my sister’s Bachelorette. The space feels much bigger than the pictures made it seem, and it is SO CUTE! Slept our 16 girls no problem. There were plenty of towels, kitchen supplies/ plates/ utensils/ etc for our taco night and breakfasts. I was worried there wouldn’t be enough eating space for 16 girls, but there was more than enough! Liz was a quick communicator and when our check- in key code didn’t work, she promptly responded within 2 minutes to help us. She was SO accommodating with my requests and was easy to work with. Great location, felt super safe, would recommended 10/10. FYI there are train tracks immediately behind the house that are noticeable when sleeping, but sound machines were provided and there were zero complaints from the girls in my group. Thanks again, Liz!

Jonathan Fehner

Stayed here recently with a group of six and it was fantastic! The host was very easy to work with and if there were any troubles at all we were compensated justly. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!

Keri Hodnik

I am getting married in Hawaii in just a few short weeks. When I saw photos of the Aloha Bangtel online, I knew it would be just perfect for my bachelorette party. And yet, the photos didn’t do the house justice! The colors, decorations, and attention to detail were phenomenal. Every bedroom had a separate theme, the beds were super comfy, and there is a ton of space if you are having a big party (we had 14 stay!). On top of all of that, the location is fantastic. Nestled in the heart of Wicker Park, we were walking distance to a ton of great restaurants and bars (not to mention the Jeni’s ice cream across the street). I wish I could relive my weekend in the Aloha Bangtel over and over again!

Taylor Thorn

Marla and the team at Bangtel are fantastic!! Although we did not end up staying at Bangtel, Marla was so accommodating for my bachelorette group as we made our plans. Their customer service is top tier, and they worked with me to answer every question and offer solutions! Our group ended up changing plans slightly, so we no longer needed accommodations at Bangtel, but would stay here in a heartbeat just from the customer service alone. Seriously, if you book with them, you are going to have the smoothest and most thoughtful experience. They think of everything and are so flexible to help meet your every want/need!

Aaron Wimmer

BANGTEL IS A BANGING GOOD TIME. What a perfect homebase for a weekend in the city! Wonderful hospitality, easy entry, and very comfy beds. Loved my stay.

Hello Real Space

Not our first time with Bangtel and will not be our last. Its a great place for larger groups. Many bedrooms with comfortable beds, lots of space and perfect location for some fun after a work day!

Ruth Breech

Awesome place in Wicker Park. This was a super fun spot to gather with plenty of space & beds for a group of 14. Walk out the door to shops, bars, restaurants & close to the train. Liz was a gem in being responsive & supportive of any Q’s we had.

Kellie McDermott

Perfect place for a weekend stay! Clean, comfortable and fun space. We had a wonderful weekend. Bangtel was very nice to work with. Great spot for a bachelorette!

Dee Matherly

A group of 12 of us stayed at Aloha Bangtel for my bachelorette party and it could not have been a more perfect set up. The layout is ideal for a group with plenty of space within the bedrooms and main areas. It's decorated very cute and had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. We also were very pleased and grateful at how clean every inch was. The location is great with many food, bar and shopping options within walking distance and just a short Uber ride to things we had planned. As a group of girls unfamiliar with the area, we felt safe and confident coming and going. The host was responsive and helpful with travel tips to and from the airport, too. If you're looking for the perfect space to host a group, this is it! We will certainly book here again if we are ever in the area!

Cat Reid

Mr. Clark’s Family was the PERFECT spot for a bachelorette weekend. Great Lincoln Park location with plenty of space for a big group. Liz is unbelievably responsive to any and all needs. Will seek out Bangtel’s in the future.

Pik Nik

Wonderful space in the heart of the “cool” area of Chicago. So much to do in WP. I plan on visiting again and trying to stay in all the spaces curated by Bangtel

Ashley Bettinger

We rented this space for my co-workers while they were visiting Chicago. The space itself is clean, gorgeous, spacious, and conveniently located. Additionally, the BANGTEL team was so gracious and communicative the entire time. We will definitely be back!

Irina Bugatova

I booked their space in Lincoln Park for a workshop (40 people). I was so worried about the space! But Oh My God everyone loved it! It’s bright, spacious and very elegant! My guests were pleased, so was I! It was very easy to deal with the host! They were super nice, and helpful! They explained all that I needed to know about the place and even gave us an extra hour on the house to set up - that was a huge help! I am definately working with them again!

AnsonRachel Lam

We had such a blast here for my bachelorette party! It was such a great location for us to get around. There happened to be a festival on the street during our stay which made it extra special. The host was very accommodating and ensured that we had everything for our stay. I loved the whole experience!

Jennifer Johnson

The entire team was fantastic to work with!! Every step of the journey was made easier by this amazing team!

Camila Hummel

I have been working with the BANGTEL Team to book one of their spaces for my wedding weekend. A place where my bridesmaids and I can all sleep together the night before and get ready together the day of. I of course had a bunch of questions and the BANGTEL Team have been nothing short of amazing. Not only do they respond in a very timely manner, they are friendly/great with communication and very accommodating. I look forward to our stay!

Crista Lash

I've wanted to stay at a Bangtel property since it's inception, I'm honored to finally have had the opportunity. Liz, your attention to detail is beyond belief. The playhouse was fun, cozy, IG-worthy, and full of fun surprises. THANK YOU, I look forward to staying with Bangtel again in the near future!!

Mary Bargi

I went with the Bangtel El Motel for on my wedding day for our bridal party to get ready in and crash after the reception. Everyone at Bangtel was super responsive, fun, and knowledgeable. They were very accommodating and the space itself was so great! There were so many beds for our guests, plus air mattresses. The decor was tasteful, fun, and high quality- we did our first look in the AirBnb itself because everything was decorated so nicely! They even left a bottle of champagne for me and my fiance to toast with upon checking in :)

Samer Almadani

Such fun, tasteful design. Super comfortable, always clean and the absolute best correspondences with the entire team!!!!

Beata Bednarczyk

Totally recommend if you’re planning any sort of bachelorette or birthday party for a large group! The place has everything you need. We stayed at the Aloha location and the place was spacious, the owner was easy to reach and communicate with, plus the decor made for great pictures! There was even a bottle of sparkling wine chilling in the fridge for us upon arrival! Thank you Liz, we had a great time!

Gina Detharidge

Probably the raddest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at! The view at Aloha 2.0 is worth it enough. There’s also another Aloha upstairs if you wanted to rent both for a bachelorette party! There’s even concierge service. Beds were comfy, space was immaculate. Will definitely come back next time I’m in Chicago!

Rita Cidre

I stayed here with a bunch of girls for my sister's bachelorette party and it was awesome! The location is perfect, walking distance from a bunch of cute restaurants and shops. The apartment is spacious (for NY standards), clean, modern and nicely decorated. Liz from Bangtel was absolutely amazing. She answered super quickly and even helped me figure out how I could host a dinner on the rooftop! I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to get a true Brooklyn experience.

Yasmeen Mohammad

Can't say enough incredible things about Bangtel - I stayed in their El Motel residence a couple years ago as a last minute guest with a group of friends and knew they would be my go to anytime I'm in Chicago! For Riot fest we stayed at the Aloha 2.0 and other than the space having such a fun vibe - the customer service of Bangtel is what's truly unmatched. They go well above and beyond to ensure their guests are taken care of and enjoy their stay - I'm looking forward to all my future Chicago stays being with Bangtel!

Rebecca Gray Sen

Really cool place in a lively area of the city. The place was spotless & had artsy, thoughtful decor. The beds & linens were super comfy. We loved the spirit animal book & took turns using it to let our spirit animals give us some clarity :) Note, there a few flights of stairs to get to the top apartment so be mindful if stairs aren't your thing. Our group of 6 loved it & we were very comfortable with plenty of room. The host was accommodating, friendly & accessible.

Gianina Galimany

We had a great time during our 5-week stay at The Lodge! The Bangtel team went beyond to always make themselves available with great communication and understanding. They clearly made a lot of effort to make the experience feel homey. I personally really liked the attention to detail and decor of the place. We stayed over the Holidays and appreciated the Christmas tree they set up for us! The location of the loft cannot be beat – you are close to pretty much anything! Highly recommend.

Elsa Gebreyesus

El Motel Bangtel Dos was an amazing place. Liz, the host, was great throughout our stay, starting from the time we booked to the time we left. The location, ease of access, and the accommodation was perfect for our large group. The decor, the art was beautifully done, and access to the patio was fantastic. There were welcome gifts and all the information we needed from Liz including restaurant and coffee shops in the area. We were in town for my son’s graduation and it made the memorable stay even more special! I would come back anytime and recommend it highly!

Megan LaMarca

This was the perfect location for my bachelorette party. Everyone was obsessed and we got the best pictures. We had an exceptionally amazing weekend stay in Wicker Park thanks to the Bangtel team and this perfect Airbnb. We didn’t even feel like we needed to leave the building most of the time! The location was amazing and so easy to access on the Blue Line from the airport - but please do note the nearby train is above ground, loud, and runs all night (we thought it would be a problem but we all still slept like babies all weekend). Great space with plenty of room for our 12-person crew. We even ended up meeting the guys celebrating a bachelor party in the downstairs Airbnb (hosted by the same Bangtel team). Was overall a great time and the team was so accommodating and kind. It’s a bit pricey but we all thought it was worth it. Would highly highly recommend!!!

Kristin Rey

Bangtel was awesome to work with. They responded quickly to all emails and were so helpful with the uncertainties of COVID. The ALOHA 2.0 property was amazing and met all the needs of our group, it was also a great location for walking to brunch and going out at night! We would love to stay with them again!

Kaylin Laslo

BANGTEL is the place to stay! Liz was extremely accommodating and helpful. We whole bridal party of 20 people fit in this place extremely comfortably! The back yard is very cool and the aesthetic is so cute! High tech air conditioning and heating system which was so so cool. Bathrooms were so swanky and luxurious. Super fun and safe area, lots of nightlife! Highly recommend.

Cara Caruso

WOW! Liz’s place was wonderful. We had a large group of us spend the evening for a bachelorette party and were in close distance to everything Wicker Park has to offer. We are locals and were super impressed with everything. Especially loved the decor, modern color scheme, large bathrooms and the security of the building. Liz was professional and a delight to work with. Would love to stay here again some day. For those looking to use this place as a home base for a long weekend in Chicago, this is the place to stay. You can get anywhere easily from the Blue Line and enjoy a neighborhood that has endless energy. Thank you Liz!

Jenna Marie

Very cool place to stay! Was here with a lot of friends for a wedding and it was a very fun experience. The Airbnb is decorated beautifully and the outside patio had a nice area to chat outside. Very private and open with a lot of good seating as well. Felt very homey! Good location in Logan square right next to bars and great restaurants. Easy to get all our stuff to and from our car from the back entrance as well which was convenient. Also felt very secure with the various forms of locking. Would definitely recommend to a group on the larger side if they're looking for a great place to meet up.

Nik Wells

Great accommodations at the Dos Motel! Excellent Concierge service from the Bangtel team!

Mary O'Sullivan

We truly loved our stay with BANGTEL! It was the cleanest vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at and that’s especially helpful during the pandemic. Marla and the team made us feel welcome, safe and supported day and night during our stay! The vibes are fun, the space is beautiful, and the accommodations are so comfortable. We were greeted by treats and drinks left for us! Thank you 💖

Liz Dunbar

We booked The Penthouse of the Southwest for a weekend get away prior to a friend's wedding. The apartment was clean, well decorated and well stocked. It was in close proximity to all of the major attractions. Liz was extremely accommodating, and responded quickly to any questions that arose. Very happy with our stay with Bangtel!

Kaitlin Walsh

We loved our stay with BANGTEL! Liz was so wonderful to work with, she was extremely personable and responsive - she even went the extra mile and left us seltzers to enjoy while there. We will definitely be using BANGTEL again as a fun staycation destination.

Timothy Lemke

As a place to host a memorable birthday, the Playhouse certainly made a great impression. While the eclectic, garage sale chic decor added a lot of charm, the apartment's three large bedrooms and massive master bath ensured that everybody enjoyed plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable. The neighborhood offered a great selection of independent bars, restaurants, and cafes that had a little something for everybody. Trips to downtown Chicago were easy, either through taking the Blue Line (a 10 min walk) or calling a car. The neighborhood was quiet at night, and the apartment set far enough back from the street traffic noise was ever an issue. Management was great, always responding quickly to any question or when a change to our reservation was required. They even left a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge for my wife's birthday. Overall, a great time was had by all, and we would definitely stay again.

Emily Keeney

This space is AMAZING. We rented the full house for my sister's bachelorette party and were blown away by the space and location. It has ample and comfortable sleeping space and the backyard was amazing for a big group dinner. I love working with Liz-- she was incredibly helpful and responsive when I have any questions or issues. Our party guests could not get over what an amazing space we had. Very quirky and unique and definitely made for an unforgettable weekend. Would 100% use Bangtel again when I come back to Chicago.

Sidney O'Keeffe

We had THE BEST time for a bachelorette weekend at bangtel. The hosts were so amazing and even provided the bride with a gift on arrival! They were quick to answer emails through the planning process and checked in to make sure we were set. 10000% recommend having a girls weekend here! Perfect location too!

Kathleen Weber Frost

Bangtel was a great company to work with and they were extremely flexible with our Bachelorette Party group when we were booking. We originally were planned to be there in November 2020 and due to the pandemic we needed to move our date. There were no issues from Bangtel and they were able to move us to February 2021 at no additional cost. The place was super cute and perfect for hosting a bachelorette party. The neon palm tree and the pink / aloha vibes were perfect. We were in communication with our hosts as needed and they were able to accommodate anything we needed when asked. I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun spot right in Wicker Park. It was freezing and snowing and we were still close enough to everything to walk to brunch!

Fritzprogram

Bangtel cares about providing great service and a memorable experience at their properties. I threw my brother a bachelor party and we stayed in Tres, the third floor flat near the heart of Logan Square. They communicate well, are proactive, helpful, accommodating, and thoughtful. I highly recommend renting from them!

bailey Lyles

Bangtel has been very kind and attentive for all our requests and desires during our stay when it comes to planning a large bachelorette party. They have been extremely helpful with making our stay as perfect as possible with extra advice such as brunch recommendations, and ensuring that everything was properly laid out prior to arrival. Liz has been especially helpful when it comes to ensuring everything we needed for such a large group of people - towels, glasses, pillows, beds, etc. We are extremely looking forward to our stay!

Derek Gould

Fantastic apartment in the center of Wicker Park. Liz was extremely accommodating and helpful, the apartment surpassed our expectations (and comfortably slept 9 with nobody sharing a bed), and the neighborhood is about as good as it gets. We had the place for my bachelor party and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Highly, highly recommend - definitely really good value relative to other places that can hold big groups. Thanks again Liz!

Ariel Upton

A fabulous space in one of the best neighborhoods in the city. I rented the apartment to host an all-day event for 30 women, and all the guests couldn't get over how beautiful the space was. Perfectly decorated, fully stocked with kitchen essentials, private parking space - BANGTEL has it all. Liz & her team were incredibly gracious and helpful in the planning process. I couldn't recommend the space more for small groups looking to gather. BANGTEL is one of the city's best kept secrets.

Ellen Murray

I booked Aloha Bangtel for a photoshoot and wow, the space is so unique, beautiful and clean! Working with Liz was a breeze, she is very accommodating and responsive. Her follow up is impeccable which I really value with my busy schedule. I look forward to booking the space again for future events and photoshoots. Highly recommend!

Bashar Almadani

Great space in an excellent location. Very spacious and quite comfortable. Right by the El, just be aware. Excellent customer service and responsiveness!

Jaclyn

The rental was perfect for a bachelorette party! The space is well suited to host a party and the decor adds a tropical vibe. The location is close to many amenities and guests can easily access all activities Chicago has to offer. We were very loud and the neighbors had no complaints since the location is mixed residential and retail space. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The unit is close to the El for convenience but the train can also be heard from the bedroom areas(possible negative, if you are looking for a quiet getaway).

Vivian Qian

Stayed at the Logan Square location for a bachelorette party and our group had an amazing time! The space was decorated very nicely which appealed to our group. There is also a nice patio outside to provide additional space to hang out. We would stay here again! Liz is very responsive and helped us out if we had any questions.

Valerie

Bangtel did a wonderful job with helping us make my best friends bachelorette experience the best experience. We had to reschedule with COVID and they were understanding and empathetic to make sure it all worked out well with our entire group. It was a pleasure working with Liz and the team. The place was adorable and a great location. I would not have done it differently! Thank you Bangtel for the amazing experience!

Morgan Gospodarek

I had a wonderful time staying with BANGTEL! My host, Liz, was absolutely amazing. She answered quickly and tried to help us with everything! I visited Chicago to celebrate my 21st birthday and I couldn’t have ask for a better place to stay. The apartment was decorated perfectly and we were able to get so many cool pictures! There was enough room for everyone and enough space to all be together! Thank you BANGTEL for making my birthday so special!

Emily Moyer

We held an event at Mr. Clark’s Gallery and it was absolutely perfect! The space is impeccable designed and fit 27 of us. We absolutely loved how open the layout was, the beautiful big windows and the chic decor. The beds were so comfortable. Whether for an event or for a beautiful weekend in the city, this space will not disappoint! Can’t wait to check out the other Bangtel spaces as well. They’re a dream!

Katie Sulkey

We booked Bangtel for my sisters Bachelorette party in Chicago and this place did NOT disappoint! Wow! SO cute, SO spacious and in an extremely convenient neighborhood. Liz was our Bangtel host who went above and beyond! She was extremely accommodating and worked with us on timing/pricing for our extended weekend. I can't say enough about this place and the hosts involved. I highly recommend seeking out this spot for your next party or Airbnb stay! You won't be disappointed!

Adam Cohen

Liz and the entire crew could not be more helpful in making sure our Chicago stay was amazing! The house was excellent and flowed great for our group. The location makes you feel like you are getting a true Chicago experience. The entire Bangtel group is an A+ for hospitality! Will definitely stay with them again and at this location!

Tom McDermott

The place was perfect and Liz was a great host. Everything about our stay was top notch, from the communication before the trip to making sure all was good once we arrived. It was way to cold to use the back patio, but it seemed like a cool place to hang out. Lots of options in the neighborhood and the Uber rides downtown were not bad, even with the ridiculous Chicago traffic! The pictures pretty much speak for themself. The place was spotless, the beds were very comfortable and there was enough room to hang out during our down time. Will definitely book again if I find myself in Chicago again.

Christine Palm

Had a lovely stay at the El Motel space with some girlfriends this weekend! Cute space with comfortable rooms and an open living room/kitchen perfect for hanging out. We were able to check in early with no issues & the host Liz was very accommodating and accessible when needed. All in all a great weekend!

Molly Dunbar

We stayed here for a bachelorette party and had the best weekend! The unit was super clean and so cute! Perfect for a girls weekend. Liz was super responsive and went above and beyond to make our weekend great! We will definitely be staying again!

David Sipos

Loved our stay at Bangtel in Brooklyn! So close to everything in Williamsburg, close to food, bars and subway to get into Manhattan. Liz always responded super quickly and was able to accommodate our travel needs. The view from up top is amazing, no need to go to expensive roof top bars when you can bring your own up there! Also loved all the little thoughtful touches around the place that make it feel like home. Will definitely be coming back here on our next NY trip

Klinger Show

First of all, our stay at Bangtel’s El Motel in Logan Square continues to be spectacular. We moved from DC in December and have been staying here while our house is being built. From the initial inquiry, our hosts have been quick to respond, detail oriented and super cool and friendly. Both Liz and Marla gave us plenty of info about the neighborhood and the hip space from a true local’s perspective. You can tell a lot about a host and the way they manage properties during the first several interactions via email and phone, and we knew this was a place for us. The Airbnb has a western theme and it is cool, comfortable and very safe. All things we were looking for when we started our search. If you are looking for one of the coolest places to stay in Chicago, this spot will end your search! Loads of restaurants, bars, shopping (including a Target 1 block away). With the spring-like weather the neighborhood has truly come out of it’s winter slumber.

Tiffany Sipos

I really enjoyed my stay at the NY Williamsburg Bangtel. It was clean with lots of natural light and very cold ac for the hot summer nights. It was really lovely having fresh ground coffee there for my husband and I really appreciated how there were ample toiletries like toilet paper and towels so as not to have to bother the owner for them. It was also so sweet of them to allow us an extremely late checkout so we wouldn’t have to lug our bags all over town all day for a late night flight. Would definitely recommend!

Peter K

Fantastic experience from beginning to end. Wicker Park apartments were well appointed, comfortable and the roof top had an incredible view. Not only were the apartments fantastic and just as expected, Liz and her team were extremely responsive and helpful before, during and after our stay. They went above and beyond to make our stay great. They truly cared about our guest experience, recommended great restaurants and even hooked us up with an awesome brewery tour. All around I can't recommend Bangtel enough. I would absolutely use Bangtel in the future for lodging or event space and can't wait to try the other properties.

Stephanie Sherman

We stayed at El Hotel Bangtel Tres a few weeks ago and we had an amazing stay! It accommodated all four couples because it was such a spacious, upscale layout with a bonus outdoor area to enjoy too. The design is super fun and creative, puts you in the party spirit. We especially enjoyed all the restaurant and bar choices within walking distance. We really got out and explored, because of this feature. Sunday there was a farmer/food/homemade goods market that was several blocks long. There was street vendors, artists painting and musicians jamming with a pet friendly atmosphere. We loved it, make sure you check it out. We will definitely stay her again soon, we’re already talking about. Thank you Bangtel for a great stay!

I can't say enough good things about my stay at Palatial Aloha Feels. I was there with a group of my girlfriends for my bachelorette party and it was the bachelorette party of my DREAMS!! The space was so well decorated and FUN! My friends have not been able to stop raving about what a great spot it was, and how much fun we had! Liz was so communicative and helpful with her instructions on parking, key access, etc. It's in a great location in Wicker Park so we had easy access to everything we needed. Would LOVE an opportunity to stay here again.

Ellen Davenport

My group and I had an amazing time at this super cute spot! We celebrated with 20 people and there was PLENTY of space for everyone. The bathroom with the tub and flamingo floaty was a big hit! We would absolutely book again!

shelby wheeler

Stayed here with a group of friends for my 21st birthday and the space was super cool And modern. Our host was extremely polite and made checking in and out really easy. She even left a bottle of champagne for me as a birthday gift! I’ll definitely be booking with Bangtel again!

Jason E

Great space in a wonderful neighborhood. Very clean, secure, comfortable and stylish. Perfect for someone needing both an office and a place to sleep. Private parking space was a nice bonus. Liz was a very responsive and inviting host. An incredible value - hope to stay again!

Margaret Gardner

Hosted a bachelorette party here and it did not disappoint! Great location with great decor and outdoor space. Not only is this an amazing space, but it was a very positive experience working with Liz and Marla with Bangtel. They responded quickly and Liz was very understanding of our concerns with traveling during COVID. She made sure that her place was as clean and safe as possible. She also offered to help with booking different things for the bachelorette weekend. El Motel Tres was the perfect place to host a bachelorette weekend! Thanks Liz and Marla for making it perfect!

Michelle Liu

My group and I did a bachelorette party here and it was AMAZING!!! The decor is so cute and everything was as described. The kitchen has enough amenities where we were able to cook meals, and the place also has more than enough plates and cups for everyone. Would definitely recommend :) !

Marisa Pfeiffer

Where do I start? Liz and her team @ Bangtel went above & beyond to make sure my bachelorette weekend was a success! The place was so cute and clean! The location is on one of the main streets in Wicker Park, and perfect to walk to bars and restaurants! Would definitely recommend Bangtel to others!

Joshua Hamilton

The whole BANGTEL team was on top of the details and continued to check-in to make sure all was well. They really went above and beyond expectations - no question we would stay here again! The home we stayed in was beautifully adorned with thoughtful touches throughout. My niece had the best time riding the retro style rocking horse - it was her favorite thing, and we couldn't keep her away!

Alkaline Vegan News

Had an amazing stay with Bangtel, the apartment exceeded our expectations. Everything we needed was here, sun tan lotion, beach chairs, laundry detergent, towels, cookware and so much more. The apartment was so luxurious, I still can’t believe it was so cheap. I highly recommend Bangtel for all of your travel needs. Oh and our host Liz was amazing, she was very attentive and responded within minutes. I will be coming back again and again.

karem hidalgo

Thank you Bangtel for making our babyshower (I know right?, a babyshower? Trust me, it's the perfect venue for any occasion) such a unique experience. The place is so vibrant and beautiful, it really sets the tone for a relaxed vacation like yet super lit atmosphere. Our host Liz was great to work with, super attentive and available. The space is great for large groups. Lots of comfy cozy beds, fully equipped kitchen and open space for any type of play time. Thank you Bangtel for being so beautiful we have so many insta worthy pics to remember this special occasion by.

sheryl erb

Liz was absolutely amazing during this rental, we had some issues with AirBNB, but she was absolutely on top of it and helped from the very beginning. When we got to New York she asked if we need anything special, she was very attentive and responsive. We were thrilled to stay there, the apartment was perfect! The rooftop deck was absolutely amazing and the location of the apartment was close to anything we needed including the subway. We will definitely be back again to her NYC location or even one of her other locations!

Addie

Absolutely loved BANGTEL! Can't give a higher recommendation whether for business, vacation, or event. There are spaces for anything you need and you'll feel just glamorous enough. I had the pleasure of staying with BANGTEL for about two months while I worked at The Lyric Opera of Chicago. I would recommend any of the locations in Wicker Park! Convenient location if you're commuting at all, but also such a cool place with so much to do that you never have to leave at all! There's endless dining, spas, vintage shops, and I even found my favorite yoga studio merely minutes away from me. Being a visitor of Chicago, it was so comforting to have a place that felt like home. It doesn't feel like a stuffy hotel room, or like you're living amongst the things of others. It's unique, fun, personal, and even grand! There's nothing like living in style! BANGTEL went above and beyond to take care of me and my two roommates. If you can, STAY HERE! And get on it, because these spaces are in high demand. Count yourself lucky if you have the chance to book a space. We had a wonderful time!

keely flatness

WOW. There aren't enough good words out there to describe the customer service and care we have received from the Bangtel team thus far. We booked a bachelorette weekend for April- with the bride flying in from the UK. As soon as the pandemic hit- Bangtel was checking in, jumping on phone calls with our group and making sure that first and foremost, we felt safe. As soon as the travel ban was announced, and our bride could no longer make it to the states- Bangtel kindly offered us to reschedule our date for a later time, no questions asked. We haven't gotten to stay at Aloha 2.0 yet, but already have been treated with such compassion and incredible customer service that we know we picked the perfect group & place to host our bachelorette. I could go on and on about the amazing team at Bangtel, and cannot wait to experience Aloha 2.0.

Lionel Johnson

Stayed at Mr Clark's Gallery just north of downtown Chicago for 2 nights and actually held my daughter's wedding ceremony in its main space. The wedding photograher loved the space given its brightness and openness. Throughout the process there was excellent communication with the host. The property itself was fabulous with plenty of room and a convenient parking space behind that had direct access into the rear of the property. Clean and well heated for a February visit. I would definitely consider staying here again for future Chicago trips.

Ali Kennedy

WOW!!! I had the trip of a lifetime this past weekend celebrating my bachelorette party at BANGTEL Wicker Park!! You would think that having 16 women under one roof could get a little cramped but it was the complete opposite, in fact two of the nights we never even left the loft because we had absolutely everything we could possibly ever need. It was extremely clean, well maintained and in a great location. The Kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are extremely spacious AND can we just talk about the decor?! ADORABLE! The host was beyond accommodating and was available for us any time of day if we ever needed anything. I’m already thinking of the next time I can go back !

Codi LIvingston

What a great fun party atmosphere and a super cool part of town. Wicker Park was full of great shops and restaurants. The house was clean and beautiful and the perfect space to show up and get your party on! We were ther for a bachelorette party and couldn’t have chosen a better space! Liz was very accommodating in making sure that we had everything we needed and had the space set up for us perfectly. Train enthusiast will love this location - 😂.

Grace Dudley

BANGTEL was the perfect place to stay for the occasion. Location was perfect and as an added bonus it is close to a taco bell cantina. It was extremely easy to use the door pad system instead of dealing with keys for a large group. The rooms were comfortable and well decorated. I would definitely stay here again.

Sisco Larson

The Bangtel Aloha 2.0 was exactly what we wanted for my bachelor party weekend in Chicago. We are all into food and drink, and there is a ton of quality in the immediate area. It’s also right next to the train, so you can get all over the city and back with ease. The rooms are great. They have a great tropical aesthetic, and the blinds close all the way. The common area was perfect for a large group too. I would recommend this location for anyone looking to check out Chicago with a larger group.

Wendy Kim

I loved my experience with Bangtel and Liz was an amazing host! We stayed at Aloha Bangtel and the house was perfect for a bachelorette party! The apartment is at the heart of Wicker Park so there’s tons of restaurants and cafes near by plus Jeni’s Ice Cream is just right across the street, which was awesome! Definitely recommend the place and would stay again!

Gret Gonzalez

My husband is a musician with Cirque du Soleil, so we travel extensively. While looking for a place to stay while the show was in Chicago, we were lucky enough to find Bangtel. We chose the property in Fulton Market, and couldn’t have been happier! It was, without question, one of our favorite places we’ve ever booked. The location was INCREDIBLE, the space was well-appointed and comfortable, and the communication with Bangtel (Liz) was easy and always prompt. She is friendly, accommodating, and hospitable, and truly cares about the comfort of her clients. If you are looking for a place to stay for business or a vacation, Bangtel will have something to fit your needs. I will definitely recommend this place to all of our traveling performer friends and hope to return sometime soon!

Heather Brooks

Stayed at Aloha Bangtel with 10 girls for a bachelorette party. It could not have been more perfect - every detail was thought of and the location was ideal. Liz was extremely responsive and made the stay stress free! Would highly recommend for large group stays.

Hannah S

This weekend was one for the record books! I threw a bachelorette party for my best friend who lives in Bucktown. We wanted to be in the neighborhood, but give her a totally different experience. Liz and the Bangtel crew went above and beyond! We stayed in Aloha 2.0, and it was what tropical, neon, girly dreams are made of! Everything was just like the photos depicted, the rooms were so comfortable, and every accommodation was thought of. As in, EVERY thing you would need in the kitchen, which is so hard to come by in AirBnbs! The location is perfect. For those coming in from out of town, you are right in the heart of Wicker Park, and an easy Uber from all the downtown fun. The loft was easily accessible- Liz makes it very easy to check in/check out. We can't stop talking about this amazing property, and how it really made the weekend so special! Well done, Bangtel. We'll stay with you again!

Linedy Genao

YES! YES! YES! I loved BANGTEL and would recommend it to anyone for any occasion! I had such a great experience living in not only one BANGTEL, but four! So, I got a taste of each of the spaces and it was amazing! I was always asking where everything was from because I was so obsessed with the decor and aesthetic, haha. Each space was so fun and unique, and ones I was able to call “home” during my time there. I was living in Chicago this spring because I was performing in a production of West Side Story at the Lyric Opera. My two friends and I, who were also in the cast, chose to live at the Aloha 2.0. We were its first tenants! :) P.S. if you’re an actor, there are some amazing walls/spaces for self-tapes, and the rooms resonate really well, so you can sing your face off! :) As I said before, we lived in four BANGTEL’s during our time in Chicago. The Aloha 2.0 was being remodeled and finished, so while we all waited for its grand debut, Liz relocated us to her Playhouse, Wicker Park 202 and Aloha locations. We LOVED those apartments! My favorite was the original Aloha! 🙈 The location was PERFECT. The train is not even a five minute walk, and there are tons of bars/restaurants/cafes on the same street. We couldn’t get enough of it all! Some of my favorites were Piece Brewery, Big Star, Dove’s, Small Cheval, Chop House, Etta, and Mojo Spa. Liz, founder of BANGTEL, was so generous and kind with us during our stay there and gave us such a great deal! Despite our crazy rehearsal and show schedules, she made our moves and experiences such a breeze and joy. She always checked in and did whatever she could to make us happy and ensure we were happy with our stay. Liz works hard to make sure these spaces are incredible, that people enjoy their stay, have fun, and feel at home. Not to mention, how inspiring she is being a woman entrepreneur creating such an incredible brand! You rock, Liz! Once again, can’t stress enough how great BANGTEL was for us! I’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to see the other spaces! We had so much fun there, and as actors, it was a great place to stay, study, focus, work and so much more. Whether it’s for a weekend or two months, it’s a great place to stay and experience. It’s nothing like anything I’ve ever stayed in, and that’s why I love it!

Megan Miller

Our group of 12 girls had the best weekend at this property! Not only was it decorated incredibly well, but all the amenities were great and the beds were super comfortable. This property is in the perfect location, surrounded by many bars and restaurants. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun Chicago weekend!

Alyssa Sierra

The space is AMAZING! Threw a "rose all day" pink party here for my birthday and my friends had so much fun. It's definitely perfect for pictures and there's a small balcony in the back that gets a good amount of sunlight. Highly recommend! Only call out is it is on the 3rd floor, so get ready to climb some steps but overall it's worth the hike!

Dr Reuben Montemagni

We took our staff to New York City for a business trip and stayed in Williamsburg. The apartment was clean and fantastically located with easy acces to all parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The Bangtel staff were extremely accomodating to our needs and set us up quth easy instructions for all the amenaties. 6 people comfortably stayed in the apartment, and again, location was awesome. Check out was straight forward and smooth. Bangtel provided us with a great experience and we will be staying with them again on iur next trip. Thanks for everything!

Ross Andre

We had a fantastic experience with Liz and the team at Bangtel. We ran into an issue with the initial space we rented being unavailable (due to no fault of Bangtel). They were exceedingly helpful and responsive in getting us re-accommodated in another one of their properties and making sure we had everything we needed. The space we stayed in was stylish, comfortable, and perfectly located. We would definitely rent again.

Kelsey Rusch

Our stay is coming up in March and it's been really nice working with Bangtel for our party planning purposes. There was some lag time in responses, but it was remedied by putting me in touch with their party planner so she could get back to me sooner with my questions. It has been a great experience so far and we're really looking forward to our stay!

Justine Putnam

Had a bachelorette party of 15 and it's perfect for these types of events! Plenty of dishes for meals, everyone slept comfortably and of course accommodating for cute pictures! Communication was also great with the team as they were always checking in to see everything was good.

Katie Cole

The location in Wicker Park was perfect for a bachelorette party! Our group of 12 had plenty of space and we loved the tropical decor. Everything was clean and well set up. Walking distance to plenty of bars, restaurants, shops, and the park.

Julie Stremel

Great place for a bachelorette party! VERY CLEAN, the host is super accommodating and responsive. The place felt safe and it was big enough for all of us! The decor is fun and makes it a unique experience! Highly recommend!

Kristin L

My friends and I stayed at El Motel (the Bangtel location in Logan Square) and absolutely LOVED the house. There were 14 of us there for my bachelorette and were struggling to find a house with enough room for us and really didn’t want to do multiple hotel rooms – the size of El Motel was perfect with two spacious floors with four bedrooms each (each bedroom had a double or queen-sized bed). Both floors have an open kitchen/living room area which were perfect for hanging out when we were at the house, as was the back patio. The street the house is on has a ton of restaurants and bars within walking distance even though we mostly went out around Lincoln Park, which was about a 20-30 minute Uber ride. Overall we could not have picked a better house and I would definitely recommend Bangtel to anyone looking for a fun place to stay with a large group of people.

Cleo Johnson

Best AirBnB I have ever stayed in hands down! The environment was great, and the host was super easy to communicate with. I surprised my friends with this place after a concert, and it surpassed any expectations that we had. Can’t even begin to explain how much fun we had!

Mallory Orme

After weeks and weeks of searching for the best place to host my sister's bachelorette party, we finally stumbled upon El Motel Bangtel in the Logan Square area. Working with Bangtel has honestly been one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had! They are incredibly accommodating, friendly, and thorough and we're so excited to have our celebratory weekend in one of their beautifully appointed spaces. I am especially grateful for all of their help in answering all of my questions, and giving great advice for planning our weekend. After having such an excellent experience I will stay with Bangtel anytime I have the opportunity!

Brittany Young

Great experience and great space! We had a wonderful time for my sister's bachelorette party! Plus, the complimentary wine and coffee upon arrival was a sweet gesture :) The ONLY negative was this location is right by the El so it was very loud at times.

Ashley Morris

My college friends and I have an annual reunion on Labor Day weekend, and our Bangtel AirBnb was an amazing location to host everyone together in Chicago. Things that were particularly great: -easily accessible location to ORD and the train + awesome neighborhood for restaurants, night life, shopping, etc -very trendy space with interesting decor; lots of detailed touches that our group really appreciated (elk bones for the dog that was staying for the weekend) -easy & efficient communication with Liz & Gina who were very responsive with any of my questions about the space I would totally recommend these apartments to anyone looking for a cool space in the Wicker Park neighborhood.

Kassa Belay

Bangtel Chicago (Wicker Park) was amazing!! We came to Chicago for several days to celebrate my wife’s 31st birthday with a group of 9 people. All our communication with Liz, our Bangtel rep was banging!! She was always quick to respond and was flexible with us whenever possible, and always really friendly and easy going. When we arrived at Bangtel everyone was so impressed with the decor- creative, fun, sometimes intriguing, edgy but comfortable, and of course clean and convenient- in both accommodations and location. Wicker Park was an excellent homebase with great restaurants, bars and galleries, but also close to the train so we could easily head out to other parts of the City. The staff even left us a great welcome packet with good suggestions of places and activities to checkout. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, safe comfortable stay in Chicago!

Zach White

This was amazing place to stay for the weekend, great spot with plenty good bar and restaurant around.

Kristen Corrao

I am planning my sister’s bachelorette party in Chicago and working with Bangtel has made it so easy! With a group of 12 girls I had no idea where we would find a large enough suite to stay, but the Wicker Park Megablend is perfect for our group. The staff have been super helpful and even helped arrange early check in for us so we have somewhere to leave our luggage while we explore the city. They even reached out to see if we need help with getting any food/beverages or if we have any special requests. Very much looking forward to our stay! Update: I cannot say enough about the customer service at Bangtel! The staff has been phenomenal in coordinating our stay! Looking forward to working with them again in the future!

John Quinn

I have been very pleased with Bangtel Hotel. They were incredible with handling all questions and concerns prior to check in, very accommodating, as well as, quite knowledgeable and helpful with coordinating our stay beyond our accommodations. Liz, in particular was a pleasure to work with. She was committed to making even the planning phase of our trip to go a smooth as possible. I would definitely recommend booking with Bangtel.

london london

Five stars, incredibly well earned! From start to finish, Liz and the agency, Bangtel, provided us with absolutely everything we could possibly need, and then some. Liz remained available at a moments notice, without ever being overbearing in the slightest. The apartment itself is beautiful, tremendously well decorated and stocked, and couldn’t possible be better located- You’re a short walk to both the L and J trains, both major trains to get you into the best parts of Manhattan in just a few minutes. We barely left Williamsburg though, because it’s such amazing place, with enough of the cities top bars, restaurants, galleries and shopping etc. to last a life time. I’m not surprised at all that Liz and her property has almost flawless reviews, we’ll both definitely be back to stay. Thanks for hosting us!

Rebecca Masterjohn-Gowell

GREAT SPACE. We booked this location/venue for a baby shower (not overnight) and I was so pleased by the space, negotiable rate for hourly use and great customer service. I will definitely be considering booking again for other events and large group meet ups. They are a newer company out of New York but are well organized. Only things to note are that you are required to provide names of all guests, attending (per insurance requirement), providing ID for check in confirmation and that they do not allow confetti. Everything went smoothly, the cleaner was ready to clean the space right at the end of our time and the kitchen was equipped well for hosting 25 guests. Thank you Bangtel!!!

Dmitry Antanovich

This was a great stay at Bangtel. The space is nice and comfortable. And it is clean. The location is SUPER and just for this you have to rent it. Liz is a great host and very responsive. Checking is super easy and friendly. If would definetly stay there if I travel this direction again.

Gisela Sabal

Amazing Location! We just celebrated my daughter's bachelorette weekend at Bangtel Aloha and it was just perfect! They are very easy to work with, the unit was very clean, the beds were very comfortable and is in a great location. I highly recommend it!

Kathryn Tringale

Nice open space that was brightly decorated - perfect for a bachelorette. We were able to host dinner and had plenty of space to comfortably sleep a big group. Such a great location in walking distance from tons of fun bars, shops, and restaurants. The hostess was great and available. Highly recommend for a bachelorette party.

Drew

Absolutely loved staying at Bangtel’s property in Logan Square Chicago. We had a group of (6) and thoroughly enjoyed the spacious, modern and clean space. Tons of restaurants, bars, etc. near by and also conveniently located to a train stop. Would definitely recommend staying at a Bantel property as we will definitely be repeat customers!!

Lauren Maginity

First and foremost, I'd like to give a huge shout out to Liz for making everything happen! Not only for me while working with her but most importantly the bride to be. The hospitality that was given is SO very unheard of nowadays that I can't believe it happened the way it did. BANGTEL is a breath of fresh air when working with them. Not just because it was clean, accommodating and creative but from start to finish everything happened the way it should have. BANGTELS crew didn't have to go above and beyond for us but they did AND in so many ways! How so you say? Stay there and find out for yourselves! People are always looking for a creative space to stay at and this is the place without a doubt. Staying at BANGTEL made me start believing in customer service again and if anyone wants to feel good about their stay at a hotel, my obvious suggestion is HERE! Bangtel has event planning services so anything you really need...most likely they have. They will set you up with the fabulous Sahr Khan who is quite amazing if I do say so myself! Yoga? No problem! Our instructor was Jessica and the comfortability we had with her was one of a kind. If anyone is looking to check out her classes contact the hotel. I mean, she just spent 3 months in India learning new techniques and she even brought them to our class which was very impressive. I know this is a long review but I can honestly go on and on. It was all so rare in so many wonderful ways that I want to let everyone know so they can get the experience we received. Thanks for everything again BANGTEL and I'll see you again!

Rachel Horas

I am planning a bachelorette party in Wicker Park and we are staying at Aloha! Bangtel has been more than accommodating for our group by quickly responding to any requests and offering us different options and personalized packages. They really do their best to get to know the group as a whole to make this the best bachelorette party yet!

Cierra Russell

I remember the first moment I saw Bangtel’s The Playhouse online my jaw dropped! Such a cool and unique space! My friends and I are SO excited to stay at The Playhouse over the weekend for my bachelorette party. Bangtel has been very pleasant to email with and have offered perks before our stay has even started. I can tell they are going to be a pleasure to deal with over our stay!

Mike Escosia

Our stay at Bengtal's Mr. Clark's Gallery couldn't have been any better. The apartment is in a great location next to tons of restaurants and places to go out. It's not too far from public transportation, which made exploring very accessible. A big shout out to Liz who made us feel welcomed from even before we got there by communicating with our group days before our checking in, by checking in on us throughout the entire stay, and offering a late check out without incurring fees! We highly recommend this place!

Ashley Ross

I hosted my 21st birthday celebration at Aloha Bangtel and it was literally PERFECT! I was extremely pleased with the great customer service that was provided throughout the process before and after the event took place! This place is not just somewhere to stay and host events but an experience in and of itself. The decor is beautiful, and you can tell as soon as you walk in that a lot of time and effort was put into this space. The entire experience was beyond amazing, and staying at Aloha Bangtel truly made my 21st birthday one I will never forget. Will definitely be booking through this company again for future events. THANK YOU BANGTEL!

Madison DeWispelaere (VXN)

10/10 would recommend! We had a larger group of 20 people and the space for our needs perfectly. Liz was incredibly accommodating with our needs and budget and even offered parking recommendations for us. The space is not only beautiful but in a great location.

Justin Karch

The process of working with BANGTEL to book a place to stay over the holiday was seamless and easy. The whole team was very responsive, fielded all questions quickly, and were able to be both flexible and accommodating throughout the process. I would highly recommend booking through them!

Barbara Kieffer

We had a lovely stay at a Bangtel apartment in Wicker Park, Chicago. Beautifully appointed, quite comfortable, and very conveniently located. Host responded to all questions right away. We had our dog with us, and it was a super dog-friendly place.

Blake Croft

Liz was very responsive from the beginning and made the process a pleasure. The place is so cool and modern. We were very comfortable and beyond thrilled with the whole experience. The only bad thing about raving about this place is that it may already be booked the next time I want to book it again! Kudos to BANGTEL!

Jade Wylie

I found Bangtel through an airbnb search for the perfect place to stay for a week in Brooklyn! The NY location is ideal (as are the others) -- close to many restaurants, bars, and easy access to get anywhere in the city. Not to mention the cute decor of the properties, impeccable cleanliness, and quick/easy communication with Liz! Highly recommend using their properties for any type of getaway!

Flan Pach

We are so excited to check in today at our unit! Bangtel has been extremely accommodating, responsive, and helpful. I highly recommend staying here when in the LA area! Not to mention, there is plenty to do around the area including echo park and dodgers stadium. Thank you for everything! :) money well spent!!

Mary Kate Coleman

The space is really modern and cool. It's spacious, and we had everything we needed in terms of towels, soap, etc. The hosts were also very responsive and nice. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons: 1) the decor looks great in the pictures, but in person the space is a little shabbier (for example, the wallpaper is all wrinkled and doesn't go all the way down to the floor); 2) I found some of the requirements a bit extreme. We were asked to do some cleaning prep, like stripping the beds and getting the laundry started. I found this a little off-putting, as we paid a $225 cleaning fee for the weekend. There was also a tip envelop out for the cleaning service, which I found unusual for an Airbnb. There was a booklet full of all the fees they would charge us if we messed anything up or failed to follow through with the checkout procedures, and it just felt a bit unfriendly. It was hard to relax in the space as a result. I don't mean to overdramatize, though. Overall, it was a good stay. The location was absolutely excellent, and the apartment was just what we needed to host a great bachelorette weekend.

Kate Sommers

My girlfriends and I had a very last minute stay at El Motel Bangtel Dos. I travel often, usually for work in corporate hotels, and I couldn't recommend Bangtel more. The location, amenities and host were all flawless and I wouldn't for a second hesitate to stay there again. Liz was very accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect.

Jessica Lennie

Liz was wonderful through the entire reservation process. So polite and made sure we had everything we needed! The apartment was beautifuly decorated and absolutely perfect for our bachelor/ette gathering! Highly recommend!

Paul Scholz

Had a great stay at the wicker park location during marathon race weekend. This spot was perfect to transit in and out of downtown on the blue line while enjoying all of wicker park and the surrounding neighborhoods. The unit was super convenient to check in and out of and had all the amenities we could want!

Arianna Yanes

Amazing place for a bachelor party! Was set up with all of the equipment we needed to have a great time and the staff was extremely responsive and kind via email. Can't wait to stay at many more Bangtels in cities around the country! Definitely a new go-to.

Gabriela Olivas

Amazing host! The Airbnb was amazing, super cute place. Perfect location, easy access. Host always available for questions and answers at all times. Will definitely be staying here again. Everything exceeded my expectations!

Conner Board

Highly recommend! Liz was so easy to work with and made our stay go smooth! Perfect spot for a group of eight girls in the gallery, and Lincoln Park was the best location! Couldn’t have asked for better!

Denise

Stayed with a family of 5 for a week at Bangtel in Brooklyn. We had a great time in the appartment which was big enough for the five of us. The neighbourhood is also great with a lot of little restaurants. So, when tired of the big city this is a good place to 'hide'. Transportation to NYC is very fast and smooth. We will definitly book this again next time.

samukelisiwe simamane

The apartment is clean, spacious, stunning, stylish and very well designed. The building is safe and the neighborhood is lively and convenient, everything is within walking distance. The host is always helpful and quick to respond. Beyond satisfied with our stay.

Teres ammu

Absolutely loved Aloha Bangtel, Highly recommend. Its really cute and organized perfectly. Liz was very responsive which was such a relief for so many situations. If you are looking for a cute place to stay for Bachelorette or girls trip, Aloha Bangtel would be the one for you!!!

Anna Yonkelowitz

The unit was the perfect place to throw my weekend getaway Chicago bachelorette party! The overall vibe and decor of the place was on point and beyond what I could have dreamed or imagined! The unit was very clean and had tons of useful amenities available. The location was amazing: directly in the heart of Chicago’s trendy Wicker Park! We would definitely stay here again.

this is stupid

Bangtel is THE ONLY way to stay while in Chicago! Liz and her attention to detail are superb. Other than the fantastic, modern, hip, living spaces shes created, Liz's concierge (customer service) goes above and beyond! The space im staying in needed an extra "sleeping arrangement" and within 24hrs she was able to have a sleeper-couch delivered to us. This is not your typical air bnb, this is BANGTEL! Thanks Liz

The Kallianis Family

We had such a wonderful time! Liz was so awesome and extremely responsive. The property was just like the pictures looked and it accommodated our large group! The beds and linens were cozy and we had a fantastic time!

Joanna Rojas

20/10 recommend!!!!! Planned my best friend Bachelorette and this place was so spacious, beautiful, so chic and girly. The host are the best very easy to communicate and the are very polite. Downtown is close by (10 min) ish Parking are available all around the front street has many shops , restaurants, bars ,walgreens. The train is in the back I’m just in awwh of this place ! Deff will book for another girls trip !

morgo1337

BANGTEL is the ideal place to stay! Great location near downtown Chicago. BANGTEL is very accommodating, well kept, and plenty of space with a nice backyard to utilize. I highly recommend it to any party needing a place to stay, comfortably, in Chicago.

we stayed at the aloha bangtel 2.0 in Wicker Park this past weekend for a bachelorette party. We loved the location in the heart of wicker park. The unit is extremely spacious and great for a girls weekend/birthday party, bachelorette party, ect. We had everything that we needed and every detail was thought of. We would definitely stay again!

Bangtel is like Airbnb meets Hotel! Not only that I love the concept, I also love their friendliness and professionalism in hospitality. I've been traveling since May 2017 to December 2017 and finally now settling back to my hometown Los Angeles. I stayed at many many Airbnb, hotels, motels, from budget stay to over the top hotels whatsoever. My company arranged my stay at Bangtel in Chicago, which at first I had no idea about and I had never heard of them. I stayed at Bangtel Chicago Dos El Motel, I loved it. It was big, clean, modern and located in the center of good food and fun bars. Across the street is a Ramen place which I loved, and a local coffee shop! Yay! I later was invited to an event at Bangtel Wicker Park which was amazing. The beds looked so comfy and sexy, the roof top view is unbeatable with beautiful skyline of Chicago during sunset. A month later I was in NYC and just out of curiosity I checked out Bangtel Williamsburg. I was again taken by surprise by the creativity of their hotel/ or airbnb (?) concepts, it's fun, unique, sexy and not to mention every location is designed different. This NYC one is right next to Whole Foods, many fun art stores and boutique. It has cowboy theme which is so fun for taking pics (Lol). I'm definitely staying there again, would be nice if they open more locations in Socal where I'm visiting often.

Kristen Decaro

Liz was great to work with and was very responsive! The place is perfect for a bachelorette party and it close to bars and shops! Would definitely stay here again.

K Archer

The vibe in all the Bangtels is so cool, fun, and a rad pad for anyone obsessed with design. I've had the opportunity to stay in a few in different cities and always keep going back because of how unique the experience is and its way beyond more valuable and special than staying at any ol' airbnb or hotel. They get it. They really cater a unique experience that is elevated & homey, with great customer service, answering any questions you might have right away. All the places I've stayed at are in the heart of bustling and fun neighborhoods, with no shortage of great food, drink, and unique boutiques too.

Abby Schrantz

Such a wonderful place to stay! Slept here with a large group of friends and it still felt spacious and the atmosphere was so welcoming. The pictures on the website don't do it enough justice, it is a beautiful home with lots of unique decor! I especially loved the outdoor area with the teepee. Definitely would recommend staying here and I would book it again!

Lisa Kittisinchaikul

This was our first time in Chicago! Liz was quick to respond and proves to be a great host. Logan square has a lot of good eats for my fellow foodies out there. There's also a few bars, a 7 eleven, coffee shop, and restaurants all literally next door. The blue line is CLOSE and takes you to downtown and O'hare. We stayed in Tres, appropriately named as it's on the 3rd floor. The fourth bedroom is separate from the rest of the place and there's a nice shared patio area downstairs with a cool teepee.
