Location
Hostelworld says
Opened in 2012, Hostelling International Boston is in a great central location near Boston Common, Chinatown, the subway and most of the city's sights. This clean, modern and purpose-built hostel offers personal lights and power sockets at each bed and a great atmosphere. Plenty of kitchen and common space makes socializing, cooking, playing pool, or doing work on the free Wi-Fi easy, according to one Hostelworld user. We like that this hostel is actively environmentally friendly.
