Chicago Parthenon Hostel

I love the old style of atmosphere and the closeness of the other guests.

The property is exactly what a hostel should be. We stayed in a twin room and it was very nice. Beds were comfortable, rooms temperature was good, and the room was very quiet. The only issue I have is that the bathrooms could have been a little cleaner. I know they get a lot of use but the condition was the only subpar thing about this place. Again, you aren't spending a whole lot of time in there so its not a huge deal. Other than that the water was hot, the common area was really clean and nice, and the area is very walkable. Highly recommend a stay here to save money and enjoy the city.

Excellent layout. Bedding was great. Front desk guy super accomodating.

Great experience. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean facility

Made a reservation the night before; never got a room, so I had to stay somewhere else

I stayed in a private room with a queen bed and it was amazing. The window by the bed opened up and looked out into this incredible courtyard where they had strung up manikins on a cable to look like they were flying

Great price for a central hostel. You can take the Blue line to downtown or walk. The Hostel is narrow but good enough for a few nights

My first experiencie sharing room with other people; stay was god. Very límited dishes; I did wash my cup just to get some coffe.

The men working reception were unfortunately very apathetic ignoring a very long line while they socialized. There were not enough electrical outlets in the room to accommodate all guests. Morning Coffee and tea was not really provided though it was advertised (bags of coffee and tea were on a table however there was no water or sink). Worst hostel ever.

Everything was great. I'd definitely consider staying here again if I'm ever in the Chicago area again. Everyone was helpful and friendly. My only complaint would be about the slow Wi-Fi.
