I booked this dumpster through the internet without knowing a bit about what it looked like. Everything sucked from the moment i got there until i i left. The manager was very unfriendly and rude. The rooms where very dirty. The lobby was very small and nobody hanged out there, so if you are travelling on your own this is... more

Well, I read all these bad reviews online, and had to wait outside for 5 minutes before getting it, was just about to bail, and then the manager came. When I checked in he explained that he is the bar manager from down stairs and that he has taken over from the old manager who was well, running the place... more

Hi travellers, We also must confirm the previous reviews posted. The hostel is situated directly above a pub. We arrived on a Thursday night during a World Series Baseball tournament, and they had live music until midnight, which was easily heard through the thin floorboards. The kitchen was untidy and also unclean, the adjoining common room was similar. The 4-set... more

I went there with my bf for 2 nights. I had first a really bad impression about the manager, so rude, he behaves as a military. The rooms are not really nice, the manager told us to be careful, there are mouse traps at every corner. The second night, I had to sleep at a different place than my bf... more

We booked this hostel online for 4 ppl for 4 nights for Aug 28. We got our confirmation via e-mail. We got there in the evening. The manager opened the door after we shouted form outside we have a reservation. While standing outside, he told us he didn't get the reservation and that he is fully booked. We asked him... more

I stayed in this hostel for a week and could not recommend it to anyone. The manager was aggressive and rude, and tried to intimidate a number of guests on different occasions, including at one point threatening to throw a girl out of the hostel for asking for her change. New rules were made up every day, depending on the... more

This place is awful. The management is extremely rude. The dorms are freezing cold and the manager refuses to provide additional blankets. When we helped ourselves to extra blankets from empty beds, he came into the dorm while we were sleeping and pulled the blanket off our beds. It is extremely difficult to sleep in the dorms as the bar... more

Boston Backpackers has the potential to be a very nice hostel. The dorms are large, the beds are comfortable and the hostel is clean. It is well located to the centre of town, the sports centre and bar district. The hostel is located above a bar which plays live music till early hours of the morning so if you want... more
