40 Berkeley Hostel    

Nice lobby, kind staff. Good location.

Poor breakfast Bugs in the rooms The smallest rooms I`ve ever seen! And for all of that minimum 110$ per day!!!

The man at the entrance is very helpful and friendly

Made me feel like I was back in college with the dorm-style accommodation and shared bathroom. Stay was inclusive of an industrial-strength breakfast. Location was perfect with easy access to the T and Back Bay night life. Excellent value, responsible and friendly staff, and exceptional cleanliness.

Florescent room lighting and a little street noise were the only slight (and I mean VERY slight) negatives.

the place is open, feels safe, is clean, and the people are friendly. the location is excellent for getting to many places around town easily. it has the feel of a college dormitory and i enjoyed it very much. it is my go-to place now when i visit family in Boston!

A little fabric softener in the towels would be much appreciated!

The staff at reception was lovely

The rooms were ugly so was the breakfast room. Overpriced for what they offer. Not a backpacker atmosphere at all!

Location. Great value for money!

We stayed in apartment. Old facilities, toilet from the bedroom6 that not convenient for the couple stayed in the living room.

price, location, food was good value, pretty clean but spartan.

shared bath, linoleum floor of room was engrained with dirt, curtains / blinds did little to keep the light out in mornings.

In the center. Beds are good. Good breakfast.

Doors are closing way to loud, which woke my up several times.

Reference staff were very nice, and helped on everything we needed. Location is good, very close to south station, so it is easy to transfer wherever you want.

Breakfast was unfortunately poor. If you dont eat pork, you have just a few options...

Clean and cheap!!

the easy-going atmosphere along with the staff's efficiency.

Very well organized and the location. Actually almost the perfect hostel.

The toilet/bathroom. There was water on the floor that appeared to originate from the toilets. That would be transfered everywhere and would be very unhygienic. I would call the toilets seats slightly dirty. I needed to clean them before using them every time. The showers were clean enough but old and appeared dirty. In general I would suggest to maintain and even redesign the toilet and then it would be perfect. I should mention that the hostel was full and the shared toilets was overused and perhaps that caused the toilets to be so bad. The elevator was very slow. But that is a minor issue.

the help from the staf to show how to navigate boston

the bed mattress was too soft

It was very close to the inner side of the Boston

Room... It was kinda small and definitely needs some level of renovation.

Location

No parking Inefficient staff Expensive for quality of rooms and shared bathrooms Did not feel safe

Central location, good service, good value for money.

Breakfast was so-so (like most hotels i have been to). Also, no parking included. The bed was a bit on the old side.

Proximity to Tremont Street/BCA Theatre and several S End restaurants - an area which is now very well lighted. Close to Back Bay Station and within walking distance to Park Street Subway HUB. Happy to see women from the transitional program mixing with out of town guests and international travelers.

The partitioning of the shower facilities in the men's bathroom are a little awkward for use (very tight quarters).

Location.

The room SMELLED terribly of disinfectant spray. I could not breath as I was trying to go to sleep due to the stench. I would not stay here again.

Price

food

Price and location. Breakfast was more than adequate. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Building felt safe.

- The friendship of 40 Berkeley Hostel Staff. - Popcorn, Coffee and "Pool Table".

The location

The personnel was unfriendly. For example: the bulb of my room stopped working. The guy who was in the front desk didn't want to go to the room to fix it, instead he was giving me the bulb and also he started saying that for me was easier to ask him to fix it instead of fix it by myself. I was so tired that I did not want to argue with him. But that was really vulgar and rude from this person. He was in the night of April, Wednesday 24 night.

I think this hotel was very well located, close to a subway station. This is excellent for people who don't want to spend a lot of money for the hotel and they want to visit Boston. I didn't really like the idea to share mi bathroom but I this was very clean and bigger than what I thought.

I had a little trouble to sleep because of the noise... This is my only negative point because I was really satisfied for the money.

Location, price, free wifi in all building, very nice lobby

Too soft beds, breakfast

Excellent location, between Back Bay and South End. Generous breakfasts.

Perhaps a little bit impersonal for the solo traveller; probably because of its size.
