Parthenon Guest House (Hostel)

I had a pleasant stay here. I was in the bunker room and everything went smoothly. Remodeled bathroom and shower room at the end of the hallway was nice. The front desk folks always greet me with pleasantries and are service oriented. The neighborhood is great if you're using Amtrak or Greyhound both stations are a few blocks away, the blue line CTA UIC station is even closer. If you're willing to compromise and do a hostel stay over this is a fine option. I believe they have private rooms also, but I have not used that option.

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 stay at Parthenon Guest House! The restroom facilities were very clean, and having 3 showers and 2 toilets for the women’s area was a huge plus—it really helped avoid any long waits in the morning. The room was just the right size for the four of us, cozy but comfortable. We also enjoyed the common area, which had a nice vibe and was a good space to relax. The staff were all friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with anything we needed. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-maintained place to stay!

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.

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
