“Not bad”

Hostelling International - Fenway Summer Hostel

28 Jul 2007

me and my friend stayed at this hostel just right before 1 week ago. we've been to Boston while the weekend. but it was not that easy to find a good accomodation because Boston's hotel price was quite expensive. but we were both student, so we decided to stay at the hostel.

but we didn't want to stay at the dormitory, so we make a reservation of a private double room. the room charge was also not that much bad when compared with hotel. we just paid less than 50 dollors for one night per one person. it was around 80 dollors per one night, but we had to pay a reservation fee and some a little amount of charges. but still, it was not bad.

we could use our own bathroom, and the room was not that bad for staying there as students. but the room was a little bit cold, and there was no fabrics for the bed. they just provide us one blanket, one pillow, and each of one pillowcase and flat sheet for sanitation.

but it was only 2 nights that we had in Boston, so we didn't have any complaint and were just satisfied with having a room for that price.

and the location was also fine. it was just less than 5 minutes from the Kenmore Sta., green line by walk. so we didn't felt any inconvenience in point of moving around Boston area.

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!

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Close to the T station
    • Disliked — Rather impersonal rooms, but hey it's a hostel!
    • Any tips/secrets for future travellers? — Make sure you have change if you want to use the internet... they didn't always at front desk and it's useful not to have to spend $20 on internet because you've got no change and left your credit card locked up in the room!

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.

3/3 found this review helpful

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!
