I stayed here with a friend while visiting another mutual friend who lives in Andersonville. It's a bright, well-kept little place with adequate amenities. I liked the key code entrances to both the inn and rooms - it definitely makes life easier not having to keep track of one more key/card. The room was clean and cozy, with a very... More

Stayed at House 5863 recently on a short business/vacation trip. Enjoyed ease of access and the quiest neighborhood. Met the owners shortly after my arrival (I arrived late in the evening and was provided with an access code to get into the B&B and nto my room). Asked for dinner recommendations and was very pleased with their choices. I like... More

We booked a room at House 5863 two months in advance of our stay, and were told we have to pre-pay for the rooms. After we had paid, we received confirmation along with instruction on how to access the B&B and the room in the event that we arrived outside of normal hours. Upon arriving at 6:00PM, we discovered the... More

House 5863 is a wonderful gem of hotel (i.e. bed and breakfast inn) located in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago. House 5863 is a quiet, clean, and quaint wonderful inn with most modern features that any large chained hotel will offer for their guest. The price was affordable as the accomodation was luxurious. The kitchen area offers everything in the... More

We stayed at 5863 for two nights in April 2012. We stayed in Room 1 which I understand is the best room. We were extremely satisfied and would certainly stay there if we ever visited Chicago again. I intially chose 5863 because of the good reviews, mistakingly thinking it was near the city centre. After booking the room, I discovered... More

We arrived a little early and called, as the reservation suggested, to see if we could get in our room early. After several phone calls, we were still unable to reach anyone. We used the code we were given to... More

The owners were notable by their absence. Continental do-it-yourself breakfast options included stale croissants, jelly in squeeze bottles, no butter and various bread that you pull out of the refrigerator. Powdered cream for the coffee. Five varieties of boxed cereal. Some fresh fruit. Cheap hot cocoa mix. Cluttered, poorly designed bedroom. Wifi inoperative (until I reset the router.) Bathroom across... More

Most B&B's try for cute and cluttered -- not the 5863! It was modern and clean and open and friendly! The beds were comfortable, the rooms open and airy. The bathrooms were spotless and large (the downside of a lot of B&Bs it that they had to cram a bathroom into a small space). The owners were not obtrusive as... More

Loved it!! Clean, great area, and best part breakfast was at anytime we wanted. Will definitely be staying again.
