Hostelling International, Boston

Super close to Chinatown, Theater District and a whole bunch of clubs. Subway 2 blocks away. Fabulous location.

Everything was great. I had a private room and it was pretty big and very clean.

Shout out to Victor from the front desk, who was very friendly and responsive. The hostel had a lot of space (I had a 6 bed room to myself), cool common areas to hang out in and more than enough bathrooms. (I was visiting in the winter though so I can't attest to what it's like in the summer). It's also located in the most central part of Boston, a block away from the common and green / orange lines. They also were very flexible with extending my stay and check out time.

Place is super clean and cozy with a good location

This would be a 10 if it were 35$ a night hostels shouldn’t be more than that

The staff members were very helpful, per usual; one young woman named Amada (I think that's how she spells it) was particularly patient with all of my late-night questions. The price for my room was terrific (under $50) and I had it all to myself!

I REALLY wish you still served a complimentary breakfast every morning!

It was efficient. Good check in experience. Nice lobby. I needed a one night stay on two consecutive weekends. Both nights were the same standard, clean and well designed. It's really good value for money in a very good location. Thanks to the staff for making it a memorable part of a great personal experience.

I have no reason to say anything here.

The location

The beds are small

Good location and friendly stuff at the reception. Smooth check-in and check-out process.

The room was quite cold and the facilities worn out. For the price I paid I expected more modern and cozy interior. You are welcomed with a list of strict rules everyone needs to follow.

Love that there are options for private rooms.

Great place to stay in Boston! They offer so many activities, we look forward to returning for a longer stay to explore more. Our room was small but the shared kitchen was huge and we found a space in the common area where we could do yoga and spread out a bit. We had no issues with noise or anything, highly recommend.

Can’t think of anything really.

I like that it's a clean and well kept,i also like the curtain around the bed you can close for privacy, quiet too, would definitely recommend

I can't really think of anything

Excellent location, well equipped, plenty of space and great facilities! Highly recommended!

The location was great and close to South Station - as well as being a wonderfully walkable city, the staff had some great suggestions of where to go when I asked them! They also had a lot of great tours and activities throughout the week!

Clean, affordable, spacious and at the heart of the city! Highly recommended!

Perfect location. Walking distance for any main attraction. Big room with complete toiletries. Big kitchen and dining area.

Wifi always weak. Bed is small compare with usual US accommodation.

Great location, spacious, clean,stayed in 4 bed dorm female, was the only one during my 2 night stay. Quiet and cozy ,great place to meet interesting people. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

I wish I could have opened the window a little as the heat makes the room stuffy.

Great hostel friendly staff and great facilities and heating during snow storm. Great location near lots of theaters and testaurants

We liked it all

I always stay here if I am travelling alone or less than 2 days. I pay somewhere between $50 - $70 per night for my stay in Dec/Jan. It’s great value for money, staff is friendly, and the neighbourhood is very lively. It’s located right in China town and walking distance to the Theatre District

Beds are a little “tough” but it’s okay for the price you get pay.

great location; wifi, friendly staff

room could be cleaner

Location, access to public transits, good staffs, comfy bed, lots of places to eat nearby.

Everything was great.

I am disabled (on SSDI) and sometimes may need additional assistance or reasonable accommodations due to disability. I arrived this time with an elderly family member, a senior citizen, and we had a GREAT experience! Though HIBoston is typically for the younger and more mobile crowd, the staff were welcoming of us and treated my family with hospitality and respect. She enjoyed herself and so did I. We DEFINITELY plan to return and tell others within our community--those that are disabled and/or of retired age. We were SO impressed and encouraged. May God Bless the HIBoston Hotel! --Mario O.

I don't think anything could have been better--in fact, I even wondered whether I could work there! The environment felt safe, friendly, calm, and very peaceful.

The room light doesnt turn on with motion sensor. rm 309 bathroom, bed, and entrance door lights were fine.

It was comfy & affordable

No complaints

24 hours 7 days a week check-in. Checkout was a breeze. Can also get drinks and snacks too!

Sometimes the queue can be a bit long but that's okay cos everyone got their turn.

the location, the size of the rooms and restrooms

bathroom (sink) wasn’t clean enough

Excellent kitchen and ample restrooms.

Room was too cold. Though there was a space heater I did not find till the last nite 😭

Location was great , all necessary daily item is available within walking distance

Nothing particular

Very friendly and helpful staff! Spacious, clean. Was quiet when I stayed. Great location.

N.A.

The amenities for the place. The events that you held almost everyday which allowed ease of meeting new people and learn more about boston.

Nothing so far! It was quiet maybe due to offseason, can’t say much about when it gets busy

Good location and facilities

The location

Good location

Hostel’s characteristics.. nose noisy

The facilities were not very clean and the temperature in the upper beds was scalding

Bathrooms always clean.

I have been to hostels across the globe and this HI Boston held up! Yes its expensive, but all hostels in the US are this price, as well as large cities across the globe. I thought the beds were pretty comfortable, and had nice privacy with the curtains and personal lights. Towels were provided which was a huge plus. Try and go on one of the bar crawl nights, I was travelling with my brother and we made some great friends because of it, and ended up exploring the city with them later that week. The bathrooms get cleaned every day too which was nice. I loved the individual bathrooms that had toilet, sink and shower.

My 4 person room was getting ABSOLUTELY NUKED with heat in December. It originally was only around 63'F, which was fine because we were only in the room to sleep, but all of a sudden at day 4 the room was AN OVEN. It went up to 80 according to the thermostat, but I was the top bunk with the 2 heaters blasting into my bed, and with the curtain closed it must've been 95'F (felt like my hot Pilates class in that bed!!!). The front staff could only open the window. I know some other rooms also mentioned they were also getting really hot and always had the windows open too. Otherwise, only other downside was some of the bathrooms having broken lights, getting pretty warm after someone showered or the door got locked so we couldn't use it. All this said, I would easily come back to this hostel! I had a great time, and slept like a baby once the window got opened.

Convenient location. Good value for money

I’m happy with everything

Location is the charm of the hostel. Clean bathroom and dorms were good for the stay.

Prices were high considering there was no breakfast.

Beds are comportable, everything is clean, the staff is polite and respectful

Noisy doors, no smoking area and alcohol restriction

I like how easy it’s making my transition in Boston. Feels close to home…

I don’t like the guest that can’t keep the space clean.

The location of this property is so perfect. Walkable distance from the South Station. Connected also with the other transit options. So many food options to explore as this is located next to the Chinatown. The staff was exceptionally courteous and helpful. The facility was neat and clean. Plenty of options to explore in terms of amenities and activities.

The lights in the room were timer/ sensor operated and would switch-off every 5 mins.

It's a pretty nice place, the location is perfect if you're planning to move through the city walking, almost everything interesting is 10-30 minutes away. Being next to Chinatown gives you access to great food.

I felt so comfortable, everything was clean and the staff was very open and kind!

Loved the entire experience, love all the available activities available.

Clean, secure, location

They didn’t have lockers with magnetic card (as it is en New Orleans)

The hostel was super comfortable, clean, and friendly.

Location was convenient, common spaces were nice and the staff was helpful and responsive. Rooms were largely pretty quiet and every bed had a storage cubby and power outlets.

Washrooms didn't feel the most clean, with a bit of a ripe smell, room had a window that was open and couldn't be easily closed, letting in the autumn cold and outdoor noise

Hostel staff front desk very helpful with future booking

Facilities

Everything was ok.

It was really great, clean, quiet and very good for a hostel. I like that there was individual bathrooms instead of stalls in a huge bathroom. Huge thanks also to George who combined my two bookings into one and gave me a room that suited me well. I'm very thankful everything worked out great. Most of the other staff members were also very attentive and friendly.

The only issue I had was that the air got very dry due to the heating and made me cough a lot. But at least there was heating, so I guess I can't complain too much.
