H.I. Boston Downtown Reviews

The worst hostel that a i ever stay. It was dirty, messy and has a lot of noise. I felt insecure. The wi-fi doesn't work. Phillipy, who make my check in, is a annoying, rude, sinic, sarcastic and a unhelpful person. I do not recommend, really

Loved it! Great location, staff dead friendly, everywhere well kept. In all the hostels we stayed in (Philly, Boston, NYC) this was the best one easily. Would recommend. If you're in town to see the Bo-sox you can't pick a better place :)

Not the most fun hostel in the world, okay if you just want to sleep. Location close to red sox ground, few good bars but not much else. Train ride needed to see the main sights. Did'nt feel very welcome by english guy working at reception. Seemed quite bored and uninterested, hostel had nothing planned for the friday night i arrived. Building feels a bit rundown, rooms not very big. Usual affair with H.I hostels no booze allowed, charged for using old computers. Wifi only worked on 1st floor

Staff was really friendly and prepared for us dinner!

It was alright, except for the fact that I had to take a shower in cold water. Breakfast was very poor, but at least I had breakfast. Location is excellent, the neighborhood seemed really safe and people were nice.

The breakfast was a big turn off. Yoplait yogurt and processed peanut butter are really awful. The coffee was great and fortunately they had bananas!

Great staff! Were happy to help out if asked, and were really friendly.

Okay hostel... but in a pretty old building. Bathrooms aren't fantastic & though signs are posted about saving water the hostel needs to pay attention to their own advice - too many dripping showers & sinks! We also had to change rooms as the first one was really hot and stinky with zero air flow, but staff were helpful with this. Breakfast was satisfactory and the location was okay - not extremely central but good enough. Overall okay stay.

Good staff, who can talk french and give tips.

very good hostel! Great location, events almost every evening!

very hot in the rooms and few bathrooms for all these people. but good breakfast and activities

Pretty standard hostel (in a good way). Wifi was really bad at times. Most showers have curtains instead of doors. Bit annoying you have to show your receipt every time you wanna enter (instead of your room key).

No sofas, no relax room, the dining room is a cold space with aggressive neon lamps. The showers don't have shelves so I didn't know where to put all my stuff... The messages on the walls are aggressive, making the atmosphere pretty stressful. I didn't like this place and I don't recommend it.

H.I was a perfect place to stay in. Very close to the downtown, very confortable and nice. Everything is made to help you having a good trip there !

The location is really good because it's so central. But the restrooms and especially the showers weren't clean at all (manny hairs)!!! Also the security level is really low, normally someone is checking if you are staining in the hostle when you come in, but they didn't do this so my laptop got stolen!!!!!!! Don't go there if you want a clean and save place, although the staff was quite nice.

The wireless Internet is way too slow...staff members are super friendly and helpful!!!

A little messy, but it was a great experience. The staff was very helpful, and it's in a great location; quiet, and an easy walk to the subway.
