Suggest doors and cubicles for the common bathroom showers. Fix broken urinal in the male bathroom. I like the bedroom, simple but clean. Bedsheets, pillow and towels clean. No bedbugs. I think it it a great bargain. Location excellent, very close to green line. Overall, I like it.

It's right on Northeastern University's campus, and so it's close by the T to get to most things in the city. The room was good: clean linens, mini-fridge, and microwave. My main complaint is the bathroom, which had a very awful odor coming from it.

The bathrooms really stank the whole day and most of the washbasins were leacking and smelling. Plus, the banging of the doors to the the single private rooms was extremely annoying during night and especially in the morning.

The room is okay but the shared bathrooms are unusable. I've seen things and smelled things that I can't even describe here. Guys washing their feet in the sick, broken showers, ripped curtains. Basically unusable. I won't go back

The use of the gym was a bonus and also the use of the computers was great and having a laundry in the building at a good price was great and also my friend and i came in on an early flight from San Francisco and we arrived at the hostel at 9am in the morning hoping to be able to stoere our suit case till check in the afternoon and the lady at the desk said that the room was available for us to use straight away so we went to our room had a great shower with excellent pressure and a rest .

It's really hard to get cheap accomodation in Boston, so this place is a good price/value rate choice for an overnight. It's unfortunate it's only for men, though. The bathroom was a little dirty.

This is not really a hostel, more like a YMCA. You are sharing with YMCA regulars, very little vacationers.

It's fun to stay at the... Y M C A! But really it was a friendly environment whit a SPECTACULAR location to go along with it. The rooms get hot, but they give you a fan basically for free. Can't beat it for the price in down town Boston.

Central located but it is the only possitive about the hostel... Old, dirty and there is not really any hostel atmosphere... Do not recomendant unless you want to wxperience life standard in institution like YMCA, but it is not really good.

There were road constructions starting in the morning. Before 7 am there was a lot of sound! Unfortunately I will not recommend this place to somebody else. Regards

We enjoyed our stay there. The system was efficient, in getting our reservations by e-mail. The staff was helpful. We also appreciated the chance to use the YMCA's free computer room since we were having problems with our own computer. It was a good stay.

We enjoyed our stay. We stayed 2 nights, it is not a 4stars hotel just a hotel. It is kind of old but everything was clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. The location was very good, close to the subway station. No air conditioner, for us it was okay it wasn't that hot, but otherwise you have to leave a caution and you will have a fan. The only little thing was that at night there is no public transportation, we had to take a taxi to go to the airport. Good place for the price
