Anil, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hostel room was spacious and clean. The building is old and beautiful and has a lot of character. There are clean bathrooms on each floor with shampoo, conditioner and showers. The people working here were very kind and courteous. The rooms are only accessible by stairs, which was no trouble for me, but would not be accessible for others with disabilities related to movement.

10/10 Exceptional

My friends and I were looking for an affordable last minute spot and this place was perfect. They have a private room option which fit all of us perfectly -- the bathrooms were really clean which put us at ease. The other guests were also kind and friendly. The hostel was near the Blue line which was convenient for our travels. Since it's in Greektown, there was much to explore in the neighborhood as well as tasty food options within walking distance. This booking was a lovely surprise and I would recommend/ stay again!

Great Experience

It was great for what I needed. Bed was decently comfortable for one night. More importantly, the bed was clean. The price was cheap compared to the hotels, especially in my case. Service was great, check in & check out are super easy. I’d come back for sure.
Sevag, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The other residents were exceptionally loud and made significant noise until 3:00 am. The hostel needs a no noise policy after 10:00 pm to ensure the comfort of everyone who stays there. It was also way overpriced for a room the size of a closet with a shared bathroom down the hall.
Anita, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

not recommended

The room is not ventilated, there is no towel, the bathroom is unlabeled, the toilet door unlocked , and the door is old and doesn't soundproof. The photo shows four beds, but in reality, there were eight. The quality you pay for doesn't match. Iwouldn't stay here again.
Weilong, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

No Elevator, shared spaces aren't so bad. Reminds me of college. For the rate I can't complain. Very grateful for the accommodations. Thank you.
Bryante, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the convenience and a location. An elevator would be an improvement. The shower room was awfully small and congested. No air conditioning. The ceiling fan turns off when the light is off. I wish the fan would stay on. That needs to be improved. I liked having the big refrigerator in the common room. Sheets and pillowcases were very nice and comfortable. The number of electrical outlets was sufficient. Overall, it was a decent experience and affordable.

Safe & Positive Experience

We had a great experience at the Chicago Parthenon Hostel! One of the best surprises was the parking—there are three free street spots right in front of the hostel, and we were lucky enough to snag one! There’s also side street parking available, or you can use Parking Hero for a nearby lot if needed. Joel at the front desk was so sweet and helpful—when we were heading out to dinner in the rain, he even offered us his umbrella! That kind of thoughtful gesture really added to the sense of community the hostel gives off. The shared bathrooms and showers were in pristine condition, which made the stay extra comfortable. Our room was bare bones, but perfectly fine for a one-night stay. The mattress was firm, and the pillows were surprisingly great quality. On the first floor, there’s a cozy communal room with free coffee and tea, a microwave, and even a TV. Someone was playing guitar a bit later than I would’ve liked, but overall, we felt safe throughout our stay, and while it’s simple, the hostel checks all the boxes if you’re looking for affordable, clean, and community-oriented lodging in great area in Greek Town / Chicago.

My train was delayed by 9 hours so instead of arriving at 430 pm it was 130 am. The gentleman stayed just for my arrival of which I was so grateful as a solo female traveler. He was welcoming and kind for this weary traveler and even said "have to keep the kids safe" when I thanked him. Very kind. Rooms clean. Bathrooms clean. A great place to stay!
