Not a bad place to stay after all but I recommend staying with pople you know in the same room not with strangers because though the city is pretty safe i didn't see any security staff or luggage storage.

When i walked into the place, i felt it was like something out of the twilight zone! The bed was awful. The oly good thing was the air conditioning!!

The Hostel is 20 minutes by subway far from downtown, there are a lot of students, but the rooms are not very clean. Good if you want to pass one week in Boston.

Looks like an old B&B, staff isn't really there for you, no lively common room. at least 20min in subway to reach the center. expensive (40$) for what you've got. not much to do in the area. But Boston is a great city.

Not exactly central Boston, is a 5 min walk from the T stop, not sure how confident I would feel walking around the area at night. Generally basic, you get what you pay for. No complaints.
