The hostel is very clean and new. Location is perfect especial for people come to Boston by Peterpan bus and get off at south station. I'll highly recommend this place to my other friends.

An amazing hostel, complete with laundry, billiards, computers and more, and with quality that bests many hotels around the world. Brand new and clean, and in a great location, walking distance to freedom trail and major train stations. Pub crawl is great fun, but as usual, cannot drink at this HI hostel. I would definitely stay at this hostel again.

This hostel is new & ultra modern. Location is right in Chinatown (5 mins walk from bus station) & only minutes walk to Boston Common area. The rooms had bunks along one wall (including lockers) which allowed for more privacy. Each bed had shelf including lamp & plug sockets. Ample space in common areas & a large variety of free breakfast items each morning. Rooms & individual showers were very clean. WI-FI did not work in our dorm, however there was a sofa outside the dorm where it connected.

Best facilities I've seen at any hostel by far!!! The kitchen and bathrooms blew me away and the beds were very comfortable. There are also regular activities organised by the hostel (around 3 per day) so there is always something to do, and I imagine it would make it easy to meet others at the hostel (I didn't do any as I was sick both days I was there). Only thing is that it can feel a little impersonal because its such a large hostel. I definitely recommend.

Everything is brand new, clean and neat. Pretty a lot of events going on. The location is pretty good, close to the subway and walkable distance from the city center.

This literally is as close to a perfect hostel as you can get. It is in a prime location, the staff are great, it's brand new and modern, the rooms and beds are clean and cosy, there are PLENTY of power outlets AND bathrooms. There's free breakfast (bagels, cereal, yoghurt, etc) activities are always on, and it's close to the subway. Only thing I would have liked to see is being able to have a beer inside, but that's a pretty good negative compared to all the positives. Hats off to this place
