About

The Farrington Inn is a small guest house just west of downtown in the student part of Boston near Harvard, Boston University and Boston College. We are located on the Boston Subway(Metro), 2 miles from Fenway Park and 4 miles from the downtown area.

Perfect for the younger traveler, we are steps away from fun bars, restaurants and interesting local shops.

Our rooms are basic, clean and affordable. We pride ourselves on offering our guests an alternative to the expensive hotels downtown that often reach prices in excess of $500.
Our rooms are generally furnished with double beds a small dresser and a small desk. We have parking onsite in our lot behind our building and is generally $10 per day. We provide professionally cleaned sheets and towels in the room as well soap, shampoo, hair dryers and irons at the desk per request. Guest staying 5+days will generally be given a room with a kitchenette or at-least kitchen access as take out food can be a bit pricey.

Window: impossible to close entirely, because of unprofessional AC mounting. Heating radiators not functioning, even in late October. Lots of carpet stains. Bed mattress far too soft - must have been used by thousands of people. Overall shabby impression. Building not renovated for how many decades? a century? Given the astronomically high hotel rates in Boston, this hostel can charge 100 to 150 dollars for a single room w/ shared bath in such a place, more expensive than a hostel in Manhattan.

The place was very dirty, dead bugs in the room etc., and my door did not lock. However, I was able to get a refund for the staff and they were very nice.
