The staff was unbelievably nice and the property was so comfy. I really enjoyed spending some time on the balcony out back! There was also a supermarket within walking distance, and the kitchen was really clean and well equipped.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

What really pleased me was the location. Everything was fine in it: there were a couple of good restaurants next to the hostel, and Boston Common was very close, as well as the metro was within walking distance (which means that the whole city is in the palm of your hand). In the morning there was a good breakfast (although I would add something "protein", like boiled eggs, sausage or sausages), which greatly allows tourists with a small budget to save on food

Great location, just off boston commons. Multiple activities run by the hostel daily including tours. Breakfast included, showers were good. Cleanliness was fantastic as were the staff. So much common area!

The hostel staff (especially Tommy) and the activities they do are amazing. If you travel alone you will have the opportunity to meet many new people, and visit the city from the hands of people who have lived in Boston. My experience at the hostel was incredible.

Great location, great infrastructure. One of the best hostels that i've been to. Its pricey but so is Boston overall. They provide free coffee, free breakfast and it has a bunch of stuff nearby (groceries, pharmacy, restaurants). Staff was friendly and they provide a lot of activities during the week. Laundry service worked great, bathrooms were shared but individually separated. Lockers were spacious (just bring a padlock) and the bed was confortable.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in, excellent facilities, and great events organised by the team. I can highly recommend the expanded freedom trail free walking tour, lead by Tommy. Great location next to Boston Common. Would definitely stay here again 😊

This is the best hostel I have stayed in in the States. The location is in Chinatown.It’s convenient and safe here. Breakfast is all you can eat. The room is big and well equipped.
