We loved everything about Ray’s. My teenager and I came into town for a book reading event and wanted a stay within walking distance of the venue. This B&B exceeded our expectations (and I’d read the glowing reviews, so we always had high hopes). The attention to detail and care given to guests’ experiences was remarkable. The breakfast and breadth of options were impressive. Neighborhood is charming and in close proximity to business districts. Our room was well-appointed, spacious, and comfortable. We loved the decor and exploring all the nooks and crannies in public areas. We can’t wait to return to Chicago so we can stay at Ray’s again.

What a great find Ray’s was!  I was looking for a place to stay in Bucktown to be near my daughter whilst I was on holiday from Scotland and Ray’s really knocked it out of the park. The whole concept of a bespoke BnB with exceptional staff, top drawer rooms and service really made my stay one to remember. I would never go back to a conventional hotel as long as Ray’s is still around. It’s that good. To have facilities like a steam room and sauna on site as well as cooked to order breakfasts is a real luxury too. I stayed 5 days and had a great time. Hats off to Ashlee, Kat and the rest of the team at Ray’s. They really make the difference.

Ray's Bucktown Bed and Breakfast is a real gem! This is the second time I have stayed here and I will keep coming.  The hospitality is beyond expectations - we were treated like family and given carte blanch of so many amenities.  True to its posting, rooms in the basement are under the main floor/kitchen area and in the morning, it's quite loud, but we loved being nearer to the saunas!

Loved our experience here! Kat was extremely helpful and very welcoming upon our arrival. Breakfast portions are quite large so they definitely try to take care of their guests even if it is the one meal, you will be full enough to take on the day, they do an amazing job. My gf and I loved the room we had, the eagle’s nest, it has a great view front facing outside of the bnb. Would I come back? YES. Our room was very clean and we had no issues whatsoever during our 4 day stay. Thank you so much Ray’s! We hope to come back soon!

What an absolute gem.  I have stayed at Ray's now 5 times and I will never stay anywhere else when visiting Chicago.  The eclectic rooms and decor, the genuine and generous hospitality, and terrific location and amenities could not be more perfect.  I've never been inclined toward staying at bed and breakfasts, but I'll stay at Ray's any and everytime!
