40 Berkeley  

I liked that there were so many different kinds of people from all over the world there in just one small building and that they all were very nice. Well, except for that creepy old guy who asked me to make out with him. He was too nice hahaha. Other than that I loved it there.

Ran out of coffee at breakfast.

Cozy, perfect location for our trip, and affordable. It had all we needed: a bed for two. The staff was great too, however. Very sweet, endearing, and helpful. Breakfast was included in the price and was also quite nice. REALLY cute New Year's Eve party!

Somewhat cramped room - The entertainment system set up was kind of in the way and useless. (Empty; No tv, just sitting in the room taking up space.) The Shared Bathroom was not really to my liking, though I dealt with it. I like having a personal shower, and the set up in the bathroom was a bit strange. No doors on the stalls and unisex; Could cause some uncomfortable moments. We got lucky and never had anyone else in there when we were, though.

The hostel was cool,

The hostel was good, staff was friendly, but our room was just ok... A few issues with the bed and the lamp and the heater was a bit noise at night... But its still worth togo, location is good but the of this hostel is the breakfast... Very good hostel for the money we paid.

The only good thing about staying in the 40 Berkeley was its location to the centre of Boston. Everything was well within walking distance!

The cost - it was not value for money, I have stayed in much better accm for much much less. The rooms - dated, not comfortable and certainly not clean. The ablutions - dirty and dated. The food/kitchen - not appetising and dirty looking. We walked in and walked straight out again and chose to take our breakfast down town instead of using this facility! There are clearly people accommodated within this hostel that are there for a prolonged period of time and are housed there by the local government.

international friendly spirit..Good breakfast and dinner..value for the money...Location.

rooms towards main road and heating were pretty noisy during nighttime.

Friendly, helpful staff, good breakfast, well designed common room

Staff were friendly

It is not an Hotel, but a Hostel.

The lobby is spacious & you can get your own free coffee in the pantry corner. The complimentary breakfast is great-bacon, sausage, eggs, cereal, juices etc. There is free wi-fi too.

Really need to increase the number of toilets & showers. 2 each for the entire floor is not enough! The automatic flushing toilet flushing system is weird; they should also come with a manual option! Need another person to backup the front desk. I waited 20 mins to collect my bags while an employee was tied up with 3 guests waiting to check-in. One employee is engaged on the phone; not sure if it's work related since he didnt mutter a sound! He also plainly ignored all the guests queuing at the front desk; not even acknowledging our presence! That better be a labor-intensive and important call! Lastly, the lifts made clicking noises & is too slow to service the number of people at the hostel! A lift upgrade is necessary!

Good location.

I suppose Boston is just a pricey place for hotels, but for this price I would've expected something a little nicer. If you're trying to save money I'm sure you could find a hostel for much cheaper.

The staff were quite friendly and there was quite a community feel in the areas. The breakfast was really nice - well cooked and very well attended by the other residents.

The rooms are very basic with just bed, wardrobe and very basic facilities. Not ensuite, and the ladies toilet and bathroom was quite a way from the room. In comparison to other hostels that we stayed at in the USA, this was amongst the most basic and not good value for the money spent.

Staff were very helpful, we stayed in a 4 person suite. Very clean and spacious! A girls wknd getaway worked great for location as we were only a 10 mins drive to anywhere we needed to go! Shopping areas, & downtown to the city! Fantastic & would recommend to all. Free full breakfast was a bonus!! Delicious! Thanks for a great stay!

Near good location-convenient
