For a hostel, it's unusual to have just 3 beds in such a large room with an en suite, but it ensures a good nights sleep. They don't have anything going on, no organized social events which made me nervous as I was travelling alone. They said I could go along to their year round hostel and sign up for... More

I stayed there for one night with my boyfriend and a friend of ours. For sure, the price is good considering the fact that your close to the Fenway, to the bus/metro and the center of town. The bed are ok ... but the bathroom ... I cannot believe that students are actually living in those rooms during the year... More

Stayed at the hostel alone for a week. Right down the street from a drug store and subway. Took the subway all over Boston, found the location convenient and I thought it was cool to see the huge line around the block for the Sox game. Upon check-in I was told my room was not ready and I needed to... More

Attended a 3 day conference for doctors, and the hostel provided an awesome (read: affordable) place to stay. It's a converted old Boston University dorm, and the rooms are old, but they're NOT dirty, and the rest of the provisions (sheets, blanket, towels) are standard fare for hostels, which is to say they're fine so long as you can live...

Good location - very close to the Kenmore T station so it was convenient to get in and out of the centre. If you're looking to watch the Red Sox play during your stay, this is a great place to stay! We got back fairly late a few times during the stay, but felt pretty safe on the walk from... More

The location is great; steps to the subway, Kenmore Square,Fenway Park. A pleasant walk to Newbury Street shops. The staff are cheerful and helpful. The rooms are large, clean, and have new beds and sheets (carpets and tiles need repairs). They convert this place from dorm to hostel each summer, so it feels a little bare. But the staff is...
