If you're just passing through Boston or wanting to keep a budget and just need the basics then this place is for you. The room had two beds, a desk, and a window but really thats all I needed. I could make it nice and cool at night by just opening the window. The place was quiet (except for outside... More

I just stayed here for five days with a guest and our experience went up and down. The first night we arrived, we were disappointed by how run down and shabby the rooms were. We have both stayed in hostels before and are big fans of small accommodations, but these rooms were just in very poor condition, like overused college... More

clean, quiet, perfectly appointed, good proximity to everything, generous, kind, and thoughtful. More

I've stayed at some dodgy places over the years, and generally don't mind a couple of stays at hostels each year and am happy enough roughing it in a tent, but this place would have to be about the worst I've ever seen. The reception and lower area is nice enough and staff are quite friendly, making you think it... More

Excellent for the budget minded traveler, and very close to the Back Bay station...maybe a 10 minute walk. We visited the Hostel @ the end of April. Don't expect 5 star service, but then again you just need a place to lay your head @ night. The breakfast(included) is a good start to get you going in the morning, but... More

This hostel offers simple, cheap rooms and a varied breakfast. We found the hostel easily (and were able to park our car [expensively] in a nearby garage). The staff was friendly and the room and bathroom was clean. Don't expect luxuries: the accommodations are spartan, but for the price and location (easy walking distance to everything we wanted to see... More

We arrived Boston early on Saturday morning. After about 15 minutes by foot we arrived to hostel which was really easy to find and only about 1,5 miles away from South Station. The staff was really helpful and friendly. Because it was still so early, we couldn't check in to our room but they let us to leave our suitcases... More
