The location is great: near South Station, right beside Chinatown. Transportation and food are the most important things for a traveler! Friendly staff, nice bathroom, good breakfast 😍

Chinwai, United States of America

I loved our stayed at HI Boston! Great place, very well organized. It was a good experience, we are very satisfacted.

Amanda, United States of America

Very central location $15 from airport with uber, walking distance from everything, very clean and tidy with friendly atmosphere, with a very wide spectrum of age groups

Paul, United Kingdom

The staff was excellent and very helpful. The rooms were clean.

Rachelle, United States of America

What can I say. I had a brilliant time at this hostel. A comfortable bed, 2 pillows even for a single bed, clean rooms, free duvets, free bathroom towels, free WIFI, free breakfast, Satellite TV on the second floor, restaurants, bars, shops, Boston Public Garden, Underground train stations all within walking distance. The distance between the hostel and Logan Airport is roughly about 3 miles by taxi or car but you can get the underground train to the airport which is a lot quicker where you will find buses that offer free rides to the airport terminals.

Matthew, United Kingdom

Every thing was good. I enjoyed my stay and would like to come again

Syeda, China

Great location!

“Forget this Address”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Queen Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The staff attitude is not professional; the checkin is not well done: check is at 4pm: I was at the Hostel at 1pm, very tired and with jet lag ; they told that the room will be ready before 4pm, and unfortunately at 4pm : nothing; the other rooms were ready but not mine... Why this ? The room was small, very expensive : more than 300$ for one night with breakfast. The room was noisy (not people of the hostel, but noise of the metro ?, streets ; rooms are not soundproofed ) and you hear everything of what your neighbour is doing. The breakfast: nothing normal to eat: just corn flakes, hot coffee ; juices were forgotten. I think you can go here if you want to lose money and have a bad value. It is not a 3 star hostel; no confort, only high prices. The final prices was not the asked price on booking.com (30% more). I travel more than 10 days a month ; I am used to going to youth hostel or to classical hotel. First time I have a so bad experience.

눉Breakfast very crowded, go early to avoid queues. Air conditioning was too strong and very very noisy, it woke me up a couple of times during the night which was annoying. A lock for the lockers is not provided. Check in is at 16.00 which is super late. The reception staff were unhelpful, rude and not friendly. Worst money value ever.
눇Location is great The lobby is big and confortable

“Easy to get to, well located but a bit pricey, although not many other choices around.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Single Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

눉Breakfast was a bit low on quality, maybe reduce choices (bagels were great!) and increase quality and the cost of the room is a bit steep for a hostel, just because of the location and that there is only one other hostel in town... Also a mix of ages in the hostel, not the youth or party type hostel more families and older people coming to visit the city.
눇Really easily located, vary spacious shared spaces. Easy to get to from the airport with a free shuttle and a 10min walk.

눉I would have liked better lighting in the room. Perhaps a bed light for each bunk so that we don't disturb other people. I had to use the flashlight on my phone and grope in the dark.
눇The price of the room was very reasonable. I really liked the bathrooms. They were very private. Overall I felt that there was enough space at the hostel and my privacy was not compromised as a result. A plus point was the adequate security. Breakfast was nourishing and there was enough choice. I also liked the attempts made to go green. Lastly I requested for a lower bunk. That request was met and I really appreciated this as I am a senior.

눉We had a pipe running through our room which made a very loud noise which started several times throughout the night. It was like lying next to a honking car. It went on for several minutes, stopped for a while and then started again. As I said, several times during the night (and probably day but I wasn't around that time). It was loud enough to be noticed outside of the room, besides the heavy metal doors. Also, the doors are constructed in a way that they can't be shut quietly. They are heavy metal doors and they slam all through the night with people moving in and out of rooms. Generally a rather noisy place.
눇The hostel is super centrally located and everything is in reach of a short walk.

눉The breakfast is simple, I hope there were more chocies as add-ons even need to pay extra. There is no fan in bathroom. Check-in can be time consuming at Satuaday.
눇Premium Room for 4 is spacious, the decoration is fantastic, big common space and multiple things to do (they organize tours as well)
