9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
The security of getting into the building, the accommodations area, and individual room was great. Central location to several bus and subway lines.
While the common areas had good air conditioning, my room either didn't have any or it didn't function. The window in the room could open a little (maybe 4 inches) to provide some air flow, but closing the current on my pod for privacy and light blocking for sleep made it stifling/uncomfortable.

Nothing. Probably the oldest there but I like staying in hostels when travelling alone

6 / 10Average·Sep 2026
I've stayed at this hostel at least three times now and the location is fantastic - just between South Station and the Boston Common. This, and the fact the hostel belongs to the HI network, are the reasons why I choose it. I also like how bathrooms and shower rooms are set up - one per dorm plus additional ones in the hallway if the dorm bathroom is occupied. They provide lots of privacy and there are bath mats so you can keep the bathroom clean. Overall, the hostel is pretty clean. I also like the little shop with souvenirs and necessities that's located by the reception.
The common areas don't feel cozy enough. It was rather cold in the dorm, and the floor is stone/concrete/something, so it adds to the coldness. The charging socket in my bed didn't work and wasn't set up for the European socket adapter I had. It's a shame the hostel doesn't do free breakfast anymore!
