Floor smelt, bed linen was not clean, room was unbearably hot. It was 5 degrees celcius outside and we had the fan on an windows open. If you are male I would not recommend this hostel as there are a lot of older female residents who resent male presence. My friend and I felt quite unwelcome on our floor. Not good for younger people although you cant beat the location.

The staffs are kind, and the location is good, very close to the station. But wifi didn\'t work when I stayed, and if I wanted use internet, we still need to pay!! And I don\'t think the bed is clean, I was bited by fleas....the bathroom is too simple and crude. I don\'t think I will choose here next time.

Not a place to go if you want to meet other young travellers, but location was perfect, breakfast was excellent and staff were friendly. I'd recommend this place if you just want somewhere cheap in a convenient location to stay in Boston and aren't bothered about meeting other people.

Probably the cheapest hostel near downtown, Boston, and all the homeless people know about this, too. Lot of weird people stayed here. We stayed in a four-bed room and it was ok, but the bedclothes were not clean (we found hair on them). The breakfast was ok. Maybe it wasn't the best omelette of my life, but I wasn't hungry till 3pm after leaving the dining hall at 9 am. I ate a lot.

Overall the residence was clean and I found the toilets clean all the time of the day. However my bed sheet wasn't as I found hair that weren't mine.

moldy smell in room,i found hairs on the bed, and there was a large lock of hair by the elevator, like from a cancer patient shedding, the front desk only had one person who could help with directions, the breakfast room was a dirty cafeteria with a moldy smell, overall, you can easily pay $30 extra and stay somewhere much nicer, maybe not in downtown, but easily accessible by train. don't stay here, it will leave you feeling dirty and unable shake that feeling when you leave. gross
