HI-Boston is in the downtown Back Bay area, which includes some of the best museums and night spots the city has to offer. Guests can also enjoy daily programs, lectures, films, and workshops at the hostel. A walk along the famous Freedom Trail is the best way to see the sights that played a part in the American Revolution. While you're in the area, try some of the North End's famous cuisine. Stroll around Boston Common, take in a Boston Pops concert, or wander through Quincy Market with its food stalls and free entertainment!

The hostel is only a few steps away from Fenway Park and the fashionable shops of Newbury Street.

NEWS!! Hostelling International Boston is turning green! No, it is not ill, nor is it giving up its blue and white logo; we are becoming more environmentally friendly! HI-Boston's eco-program will afford our staff and guests the opportunity to become "better stewards of the earth and its resources." At HI Boston you will find great recycling stations, energy efficient lighting and appliances, low VOC paint, recyclable carpet, low-flow plumbing, environmental-friendly cleaning products, and motivational signs as reminders to be good stewards of the earth.
Just like our linen, the future of our "Green HI-Boston" looks bright!
