I found this to be a great value, and all I really needed. Far more character than staying at a generic hotel. Will definitely recommend to others. Thanks!

The staff was very helpful and friendly upon check in!!!! The location is pretty good but right in the heart of the Greek District! But its just short cab ride or quick walk to all the major attractions. The only complaint I have was That my room was HOT AS HELL!!! Im not sure if all the rooms were like this but even with the windows open no breeze or anything! So sleeping was kind of miserable but other than that not so bad. also had 10$ a night valet parking which was cool.

This place is in a very convenient and vibrant location and has helpful and friendly staff. However, the rooms are monastic and somewhat depressing, and although the beds are comfortable, it's definitely not the kind of hostel that invites you to lounge around. There is wifi in the common room and internet access but they only have one computer, so you have to wait your turn. Breakfast consisted of a large crockpot full of hard boiled eggs, untouched. OK over all, but not spectacular.

Two blocks from the subway. Parking across the street for $10/night. Bring your own lock for your locker. Everyone has one in their rooms. Incrediably clean bathroom. Room was a bit stuffy (needs circulation). Much better than most hostels I've stayed in. Breakfast is cereal and toast.

The shared bathrooms were spotless! Oh, and the continental was great for a continental breakfast, really good bread, and loved that they included hardboiled eggs.

I stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed it. People there are really nice and the locations is really good. It's really close from downtown so the only thing you have to do is just hop on the bus and go enjoy all fun of Chicago. Also, breakfast in the morning is pretty good.

apx 4 blocks from the sears tower, 2 blocks from UIC Halsted (blueline CTA) in the middle of greektown.. no elevator, no parking (vallet parking of the Parthenon asked 10-20 USD for overnight parking), bathrooms far from rooms and not really good designed, not clean at all.. rooms very small w/o any equipment. Bed quality was very high. Frondesk staff nice, complementary breakfast was pretty good

Private room was ok, shared bathroom was clean. It just a 15 min walk to the Sears Tower and thus some bars are around. Breakfast was good and there is a common room with internet and TV. Staff was friendly. We were not able to connect to the WiFi, however, this might have been our fault somehow.
