Actually, when you get to the Backpackers' Bargain Rock, you find a locked door with a phone number attached to it. When you call the number, you're redirected to a nearby hostel called the Prescott. I don't think that's a very honest approach for the hostel owner to take.

the location is a bit outside the city, but if i don't live here, i don't think i might ever came to this place. the bus and subway connection are pretty convenience, but gotta wait a bit on the weekend :(. they don't serve breakfast which is to my surprise.

Great! Anytime again! Friendly and very helpful staff, clean sheets, towels, rooms and showers! Anything a backpacker would wish for. Loved it.

I would have said it to be more clean, but I found vomit in a shower stall in the morning. I understand it was early, and staff was just getting there, but I think it took it down a step. Otherwise a good deal.

the hostel is not in boston, and doesn\'t take half hour to get there, it takes more. Pay the extra and stay in boston where you intend to visit. The address on here is wrong and so i followed the directions to a hostel that was closed. The plastic mattresses suck and are hot. The bathroom light didn\'t work. After 1 night i was and still am literally covered from toe to face in bed bug bites, itching like mad as my arms and legs are covered, all they said was \'too bad\'! DON\'T STAY HERE, YOU\...More

There should be more publicity about this hostel in its neighbourhood, absolutely no one in the neighbourhood that I met, even the police, have ever heard of its name nor was able to tell where it's located, and for a single foreign traveller desperately looking for the way there after the sunset it was a little bit scary.

an old hospital? or a converted old people's home?! no a/c, smelt funny and about as much fun as the industrial waste land it's in. avoid. far far from town.

Location is out of the city centre, our room had no toilet, or air conditioning, which led to a sweaty nights sleep. All in all, not brilliant, but if you're looking for a place to sleep and that's all, then it'll do.
