Hostelling International, Boston

Location was perfect. Just walking distance to Tufts University.

Excellent location, friendly staff, kitchen facilities and communications with other hotel residents.

None

After they fixed the AC, the experience becomes good

Almost none

Great place, the rooms are spacious and well organised. There was locker next to my bed, and electricall outlets in bed. The kitchen is huge and has a lot of necessary equipment. The other common areas have enough space for everyone. They also offer quite a lot activities, though due to the short term of my stay I could not take part in those.

The location

Clean, great location. The shower rooms were clean with towels available. Friendly and helpful staff. Lockers in rooms too

Beds are a little small when you're tall.

Overall it was good

The breakfast area was disappointing. There was no supervision for any assistance and out of coffee and didn't know where to begin to make more. It was a mess.

I liked well service

There wasn't any breakfast.

Everything was ok for the price. Like it.

Great hostel, location is super convenient, rooms are clean and comfortable

Nothing, perfect

Great location, place so clean and staff so friendly.

Location was great. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Privacy curtains in the 4-bed room was a good idea.

Comfortable bed with curtain for privacy in a spacious room. Incredibly well equipped kitchen, nice staff and great location in downtown Boston. A bit pricey but that’s obviously Boston.

What a friendly and welcoming staff.

Nothing

Great visit! Free Luggage storage on the day of departure was an awesome bonus.

Perfect place stat overnight for the North Station. Rooms are perfectly clean and shared bathroom units are really fine and enough.

Great location, just a few steps from Chinatown Orange Subway station. Fast and easy to reach from the airport by Silver Line bus and close to downtown main attractions. Very clean and comfortable rooms and shared bathrooms, nice staff, and nice people to meet anytime. Don't mind your age: I'm a middle-aged woman, and I'm always welcomed by other roommates who are three or four decades younger. Free coffee and water refill, food, and sundry items available for purchase. My favorite accommodation in Boston!

Hi Boston is a great experience. I have stayed there many times for many years. I am never disappointed. Breakfast is always an adventure. Lots of good food for breakfast. Enjoyable company of other travelers.

EVERYTHING IS FINE. I WILL BE COMING BACK AGAIN.

Location, Laundry on site

Noise can be heard from outside of room

Great location, helpful staff and clean facilities. We were in a 4 bed mixed dorm and it had large lockers for storing bags

I was on the top bunk and right under all the hvac system which was claustrophobic to me in particular. The air-conditioning seemed to be set at mid range so the rooms were hot and we needed extra fans to cool it down

Always great experience Comfortable beds, curtains, I am tall person and bed is perfectly suited. Location can’t be better, close to Chinatown and all good spots in town. Also very friendly staff

Clean , comfortable , staff , location

A bit expensive

I like the hostel principles. It matches my value. Location was excellent as it was three blocks from the subway station and large iconic parks were nearby.

The room felt too crammed. I preferred female bathrooms inside the hallway entry door, not open in hallway that any gender could access. Previous room was set up that way, but not this time.

Great location

Downtown and easy check in

Great location, clean, big, spacious dinning facilities. Every day hostel organizes some activities. Definitely will stay again.

Clean, quiet, common areas were well stocked.

Bathroom could be better. Shower head was leaking.

Location is excellent, pretty clean and well maintained. Common areas were cozy. In overall it was good experience.

According to rules quiet hours are from 11pm until 7am, no doors slamming should be added to those rules. Had a pretty early awakening around 5 am since people don’t know how to close doors quietly or some of the doors need fixing.

The location is nice.

The rooms are tight.

It was the only place I could find to stay in Boston after my truck got stolen and I didn't have an ID and they let me stay

It is what it is it was a place to sleep That's all I needed

Amazing location in Downtown. Walk distance from the Bus Terminal. Everything very organized and clean ! Great staffs!

Great location in Chinatown, lots of fridge space, fun activities, comfortable and clean shared spaces, complimentary luggage storage, safe.

Appreciate that they provide earplugs at the front desk

Location and proximity to public transportation. Chinatown food and people are wonderful. Nice safe vibe inside the community kitchen with street view. Great Bakery and Cafe within walking distance. No loud music blasting across generational lines.

Bathrooms and showers could have been a little more attended to with soap and shower mats. Bagels / Toast and Jelly would have been a nice touch for breakfast for those not yet situated to the area. The area at night could be a challenge if traveling alone.

The hostel was very clean, with an industrial look to it. Unfortunately the thermostats had been recently replaced and the one in our room wasn't working, which meant that it was chilly during the night. Overall the room was nice, clean, good size. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a very good size. The hostel was offering some activities as well, but sadly we could not take part as we had our own itinerary, but I think it's a great thing for those travelling alone or in pairs to meet new people and experience the city at the same time.

The location is very convenient, there are many places in the common areas where you can relax, and the front desk staff are also very nice.

I couldn’t find a hair dryer, and the guest in the lower bunk was yelling loudly at 1 a.m., which was very noisy.

It’s at peak location yet very affordable. Every tourist spot was at walking distance from the hotel. Didn’t expect it to be this clean! Staff was polite. They had arranged movie nights trivia games etc. Plus they also had lockers arranged to keep luggage after you have checked out, that too for free. I was impressed.Def recommend it

Wish they had also provided locks for the lockers in the room

Clean

Some outlets didn't work.

Pleasantly surprised by the experience, degree of privacy and comfort. Shower/toilet facilities are very private rooms (not congregate) - this is unclear and should be made so, as it will positively attract more clientele who may have misgivings about “locker room” style facilities.

Cleanliness of shower/toilet rooms varied and wasn’t always up to minimum standards.

The price the location greet !

It was near all the places I need to visit.

N/a

The localization is good! Also very easy to get it from the airport.

I little bit messy the bathroom

The staff were friendly, the quiet hours were well respected, and the kitchen area was spacious and nice. I had a great stay.

The noise from the doors closing, both in the room and the bathroom, was very loud and startled me at times.

It’s an expansive property and quite huge for a hostel. There are about a million bathrooms on each floor (all private) which made it a lot easier to do things in the morning and late at night while feeling safe. It’s very close to public transport which I enjoyed and right down the street from Boston Common.

N/A

Everything is good

Nothing

The Chinatown location was great - lots of food options and the tourist attractions were of walking distance. But what truly exceeded my expectations were the free activities organized by the hotel. I participated in 5 of them - and all were great! The MIT architecture, East Boston Skyline, and the Freedom Trail tours were so good, I would do them again.

None.

Staffs are always good and helpful.

This isn’t the first time I’ve stayed here - generally always a nice experience.

N/A

Location from South station or Chinatown, lots of restaurants around, comfortable bed, has storage.

no breakfast provide is really inconvenient.

clean bathroom. the place has elevator ! nice

Location is great, the room was cleans and quite. I was having a bad night due to the cold temperature but they gave me a extra blanket and that helps me a lot.

There are no curtains on some of the windows in the room, this allows a lot of light to enter.
