Parthenon Guest House (Hostel)

"This was a decent little spot! It was very affordable! I never stayed in a hostel before but I was only there for the night, so just needed somewhere for a few hours. The place is clean and quiet. Granted when I got there it was after midnight, but still. There was a 7/11, a Starbucks and a place that I believe had gyros but forsure had pizza all within walking distance. It wasn’t a far ride to Union station either. My room was very clean and I luckily had it solo. There’s lockers in the room for your valuables things like that. Now this place isn’t super ADA friendly. There’s A TON of stairs so if you can’t climb stairs don’t do it. No elevator at all."

"Stayed for 2 nights. Great location in Greek Town. They were able to accommodate my very late arrival time no problem. The facilities were clean and modern. My single room was small but had everything I needed. Id definitely come back next time I visit Chicago"

"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 Chicago/ Greek Town Neighborhood."

"Stayed here for 5 nights and was very impressed. The hostel wasn’t busy so it was very quiet and super clean. It’s only a 2 minute walk to the train line to the city. Loved it."

"Great hostel! Super clean, quiet, and, felt safe as a solo female traveler. Ideal location for a business trip. I would stay here again when I need to make a trip to Chicago."
