Good location - very close to the Kenmore T station so it was convenient to get in and out of the centre. If you're looking to watch the Red Sox play during your stay, this is a great place to stay!

We got back fairly late a few times during the stay, but felt pretty safe on the walk from the station to the hostel door.

Rooms had everything you need - beds to collapse on after a hard day's sightseeing, private bathrooms, and space for clothes and backpacks without being cramped at all. Good internet access in the communal areas (although one terminal wasn't accepting cash at one point) and great facilities!

The location is great; steps to the subway, Kenmore Square,Fenway Park. A pleasant walk to Newbury Street shops. The staff are cheerful and helpful. The rooms are large, clean, and have new beds and sheets (carpets and tiles need repairs). They convert this place from dorm to hostel each summer, so it feels a little bare. But the staff is ready to help you explore Boston, and the price is right at this location.

This is simply the best hostel I've ever been in! Everything is nice and in great shape. Only 3 people per room, and every room has a dresser, desk, closet, and private bathroom w/ bathtub. This is the only hostel I've ever been in where they provided soap and cups! You're basically staying in a dorm that kids pay a ton to stay in, so it has to be good. Close to the T. Save money, stay here, and meet people!

Above post is probably from when it was still a HOJOs-- Boston Universityrecently turned this into a dorm for the school year, and it's a hostel during the summer so I am sure conditions have improved.
Probably pretty basic- it is a dorm!- but a great location for visitors on a budget!
