Chicago Parthenon Hostel

While I was searching for places to stay in Chicago, this location kept coming up. I never stayed at a hostel before, my husband and I enjoyed our stay. We were able to dialogue with people there something that really doesn't happen if you're staying in a hotel it really is a community atmosphere. My husband was stating that he wished there was an air fryer. A microwave was provided, but an air fryer in our opinion does so much better if one could be placed in the common area, for the most part. I/we definitely would stay again at a hostel and Joel was amazing. Thanks again.

Super convenient location to downtown. Also right next to Hmart, subway station. so convenient for everything you need! Although shared washrooms and showers, but very clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The gentlemen at reception even helped my senior mom to carry the luggage upstairs to the room. Definitely recommend this place.

Perfection travel in your location

The toilets and showers were clean, but it felt like there were not enough. The beds and sheets and covers were much nicer than usual at hostels. The location is fine, walking distance from Union Station and (a bit longer a walk) from the Blue line.

A surprise for sure. The room was clean the bed and linen were very nice. The Bathroom and shower are communal but very clean. There is no elevator so you need to use the stairs. I was on the top floor 3rd floor. And there was someone who helped me with my luggage. This place is .4 miles of mostly flat ground from Union station. And .7 miles from OTC metra station. There are some great eateries close by.

stayed 1 night , friendly host at reception.

I liked the private room that I got, it was very clean and overall quiet!

Amazing!

Clean spartan room with no frills. No power outlet near the bed so an extension cord is needed unless you have a really long cable. I notified Joel that the mattress in my room was worn out from everyone sleeping on the door side.

Rooms clean and comfortable. Bathroom is also clean. Location is great- only 1.5 block to blue cta line.

Great location, close parking garage, friendly staff,& clean room

Good value for the money for the private rooms.

Hostel was great. Plenty of space in the rooms and bathrooms. Nice area to eat and plenty of fridge space. Easy access and nice neighborhood. My only complaint would be the matttess. It was very thin and not the most comfortable after a few days.

Offering cooking facilities, shared refrigerator, free coffee, tea and a common room to watch tv or use the free wifi, this is a great choice when visiting the city for a budget-friendly option to larger hotels. A few issues - the hostel is not wheelchair-friendly; there are several staircases to navigate [which might also be an issue if you have a lot of luggage]. As well, while the building is well-maintained, the rooms [I was in a west-facing room] are very cold at night. I imagine that, in the Summer, they might be uncomfortably warm. I have heard that the owners are planning to install washer-dryers in the hostel, which would make a very welcome addition to the hostel.

Check-in and check-out was simple. Which gave me enough time to focus on exploring the city.

This guest house is IMMACULATELY clean. Beautiful modern showers, with boutique hotel quality toiletries which were such a nice surprise. The Parthenon has a European flair, and great staff.

Everything was immaculate here from the staff to the cleanliness. Would recommend this to many many people

Very clean rooms and courteous staff.

Great staff, clean hostel. Good location.

Clean and great Iocation. Good price
