First time staying in hostel shared room as a solo traveler so was a bit hesitant, but absolutely enjoyed the experience. The rooms were extremely clean, bathrooms were close to all rooms, great size lockers. So many activities to choose from, staff were very helpful and informative, breakfast and dinners were great value. Great location, near china town for meals... More

We travelled the USA in May and our first stop was Boston. We spent 3 nights at the hostel and we really had a great time. Super helpful staff and they organise great activities to discover Boston. It can get a bit crowdy but i guess that's the the normal feeling of a hostel :-) Location is right around the... More

We stayed at the HI within a month of it's opening, and booked a private room. We were incredibly impressed at the room, facilities, incredible value and great location. The private rooms, while basic, are really well equipped with TVs & bathrooms and comfortable double bed with a single upper bunk and included comfortable bedding as well. The desk staff... More

I spent five nights at HI-Boston on a research/conference trip in late May. I thought I would feel out of place getting dressed up every morning, but was pleased to find a number of other guests who looked like they were following a similar strategy.

I'll start with the positives for a start (and if you are somebody... More

This was my first stay in a hostel, so I have nothing to compare it to. Since this hostel was built in 2012 I knew it was going to be very modern and probably nicer than any other hostel I'll experience in the future. The rooms were great, the lockers were large and I appreciated the fact that they weren't... More

To be honest, I only stayed here one night, and even then I mostly slept (had very little time for Boston and therefore wanted to see as much as possible). However, I really don't remember any issues with this place. The location is as good as any (close to the Boston Common and public transit), the staff were very friendly... More
