Backpackers Hostel & Pub Reviews

Staff were incredibly friendly, outgoing, and helpful. Despite the location being outside of the City, the staff were running a shuttle where they would drive you directly to the subway (and back) whenever you needed. They have several computers with free internet access for use as well which was great, and pool tables in the back. We did a backpacking trip for five weeks a few years back, and the staff at Backpackers Hostel & Pub went far and beyond anything we had experienced elsewhere.

Staff was the best here, especially Chris, who always gave us rides to the subway!

The staff was realy helpfull, espesialy juliann who realy did a lot to help with whatever i needed.

Really good hostel, Chris was really helpful and ausome, would definetly come back !

Staff is quite friendly and helpful

The hostel is rather far outside, but it is definitely a cheap alternative to the expensive ones in the center. What is great about the hostel though, is that there is a free shuttle driving to the next subway station every 30 minutes in the morning and afternoon even until 11pm. The rooms and common areas are clean and tidy. The staff was helpful and answering all questions. The breakfast is very basic, but good enough to start your day. You can also buy cheap water bottles at the front desk.

The staff is exceptionally nice and helpful. The location isn't ideal, but the hostel does it's best to make up for it by offering a shuttle service. Overall good hostel.

i literally love every staff there.. luhong chris and another guy( sorry i didnt ask ur name). they are super nice ... amazing service! if im goin bk to boston i will definitely go back to this hostel again!!

I had a great time at Backpackers, I arrived late at night but Carly was just a phone call away to help me get checked in. Chris was there every morning with a smile on his face and a pleasant greeting, and always asked how your day was. If there was anything you needed he would always stop what he was doing and help you out. Big shout out to Carly again who helped me plan out my days so I would have a productive trip. Gus & Juliann were also very friendly and fun to talk to after a long day

very very far from downtown Boston

I thought the staff was very friendly - they really went out of their way to make a person feel welcome! (Especially Jeanine, who helped me when I accidentally called staff instead of, you know, opening the door.) :) Thanks for your help during my stay!

The time at the hostel was Great! The staff was friendly and helpful, great facilities and awesome shuttle service! Chris is the guy you want to find at the desk, always available and making sure you are having a good time. Thanks!

very good stay! would have appreciated more variety for breakfast though. Haha. kudos to Gillian, Mike, Gus and Cheryl for their good service and friendly attitude towards everyone, made everyone feel really homely. :)

Great Hostel, best value for money option in Boston, also very nice employees work there, and they offer you a ride to the nearest station always. recommended if you are on a budget...

Stayed here right after the boston bombings. As a result there weren't many people staying here and hence the atmosphere wasn't that lively. However I'm sure once the hostel more fully booked it is very fun. Staff were excellent . It is a bit out of the way but you might expect that for the price.

The personalis very nice (especially Chris) he did all for me that I felt like home. So I really enjoyed my stay there. It's very clean and you can get an upgrade of an room for if something is free. The downtown is with the subway like 15 minutes away.

I liked the stay in the Backpackers Hostel & Pub! All the staff gave us the feeling that they care about their guests and all of them were really helpful! Especially Chris was very nice, he answered all our questions and helped us a lot. Thank you - we had a great weekend in Boston!

Nice staff, good location!

Steve and his son Gus were very welcoming and even drove us to the Wellington transit station in their own cars. The staff was accommodating and my friend and I really liked getting a taste of the area from native Bostonians. Although the location is a bit far from downtown Boston, the town of Everett is itself very charming and has some great places to eat (Carol's Cafe on Main St and Broadway Cafe). The hostel might not be the greatest but it does have free internet access and feels homey.

Great hostel at a great price! Very clean hostel with an extremely kind staff. Would highly recommend.
