The Beantown Hostel is the dirtiest, most over priced hostel that I have ever stayed in. There was one working toilet for the women. There were no sheets or pillowcases for my first night. The toilet paper ran out and wasn't replaced until the day after. The mattresses are covered in plastic and are so loud when ever anyone moves.... more

This hostel is conveniently located and close to everything. There are two popular pubs in the neighborhood, and you can go to see bands playing at night. The people at desk are totally friendly and know the city very well. more
