I really enjoyed my stay. The hostel was located conveniently near the T line (subway) and I found getting around the city very convenient from here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were a flash back of my college dorm, and I was surprised how much privacy I got in my single room. the wi-fi internet was a plus. The security was great, as you had to ring a bell and be let in after 4pm. Breakfast is included with rate! I would definately recommend this hostel to anyone. I really enjoyed my stay.

There is a strange smell in all the rooms. The bathrooms are not very clean. There are a couple of old people whoe live there permanently which also smell. I would not go there again. But you can feel safe there.There is a strange smell in all the rooms. The bathrooms are not very clean. There are a couple of old people whoe live there permanently which also smell.

Staff were lovely and helpful. However if you want traveller atmosphere you won't get it here. It has a lot of residents rather than people passing through. Clean and basic so if you're looking for a bed reasonably near to Boston centre then ok.Staff were lovely and helpful. However if you want traveller atmosphere you won't get it here.

room is ok, furnishings are a little worn. bed was not very comfortable and the night i stayed there was a lot of noise outside until the early hours. but it is very secure and the bathrooms are fine. good for a short stay as the city centre is easily accessible.room is ok, furnishings are a little worn. bed was not very comfortable and the night i stayed there was a lot of noise outside until the early hours. but it is very secure and the bathrooms are fine. good for a short stay as the city centre is easily accessible....Close

I paid $56.00 a night and stayed 5 nights. This is much more than I agreed to as per my statements. Also they would not honor the down payment of $20.00 + I paid to you. They did give me a nice breakfast each morning but I would have never stayed there at that price.I paid $56.00 a night and stayed 5 nights. This is much more than I agreed to as per my statements.

hardly a hostel and a little more pricey, this hotellike-hostel is a good third choice for Boston. Location is a 15 minute walk from any good bar, but not 'in the outback'.hardly a hostel and a little more pricey, this hotellike-hostel is a good third choice for Boston.

A nice quiet location but within walking distance of the centre of town. Its in South End which is the gay area so I'd recommend it for gay travellers. Never had any hassle walking home at night and the rooms are large, beds comfortable, linen clean and the shared bathroom is large and was never crowded.A nice quiet location but within walking distance of the centre of town.

Cheap and central...Good breakfast service as well. The rooms sometimes smell funny and the baths could be cleaner, but overall it's a very good price for a bed and a roof in downtown Boston.Cheap and central...Good breakfast service as well.
