If you've ever traveled abroad, you know just what this place is going to be like. Bunk beds, single sex or coed dorm rooms, friendly, young and helpful front desk people that are hoping to help you get out into the city. The price is right, pretty good breakfast is included, and I had no complaints about the accommodations. A... More

Staff were helpul and helped us arrange a couple of trips and answered any questions we had in a friendly manner which isn't always a given in hostels. The rooms were ok, comfortable enough to sleep in, we didn't spend much time in the hostel as there was so much to see and do in Boston so it was more... More

I Stayed at HI Boston for about 9 nights at the end of August. I was very lucky and got a room on the ground floor so I didn’t have to lug my suitcase up any stairs. I stayed in a female dorm that had 5 beds. The room was clean, had air conditioning, and fresh white towels were provided.... More

Choosing Boston as a stop on my 45 day road trip with my daughter was easy. Finding reasonably priced non-chain accommodations with personality on July 4th was not.

The hostel has a good localization I could walk or find buses easily there. The price is not so good for a hostel, but it was very clean and the service was ok. I would come back. More

Boston is a rather expensive city so a friend and I chose to stay at this hostel. For the money, it's not bad. The rooms are small and the bunk beds, esp the upper ones, are tiny. I felt like I couldn't turn over. But the rooms and the bathroom were clean and quiet enough (for a hostel). The staff... More

I had slept 5 nights at August 2011. It was old building and no eleveter. Room was noisy with moving conditioning morter. I cooked at the kitchin, poor water was big ploblem. Free Breakfast is very nice. More

Pros: I've been to REALLY bad hostels. This was A+ compared to other hostels Ive been to in Europe. I booked for 4 people and hostelbookers.com said that the room will have 6 beds. But when we got there, the room had only 4 beds. So we had the room all to ourselves. It was pretty clean. Staff was friendly... More
