- 8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 5,171 reviewsGreat location, great infrastructure. One of the best hostels that i've been to. Its pricey but so is Boston overall. They provide free coffee, free breakfast and it has a bunch of stuff nearby (groceries, pharmacy, restaurants). Staff was friendly and they provide a lot of activities during the week. Laundry service worked great, bathrooms were shared but individually separated. Lockers were spacious (just bring a padlock) and the bed was confortable.

The hotel is near the Harvard University and Harvard Avenue railway station so it’s quite easy to travel along the city.
