Difficult to find negatives with this hostel... Only thing to comment on is the water pressure in the showers (3rd floor), slightly lacking!
Comfy beds, clean facilities, friendly staff, excellent spread for breakfast.

Noisy rooms. Bring earphones, etc to cancel out noise from heavy hallway doors slamming and noisy from neighboring rooms coming through air ducts. Place quiets down around midnight to one a.m. unless you have rude neighbors,
It’s IN Boston, 200 meters from the main subway line, and 25% the price of surrounding hotels.

It was cold/ the room, and expensive. And, as it is a huge building, it felt more like a residence of an university and less as a cozy hostel, a home far from home.
breakfast is great! but for the cost of the night should of include eggs or pancakes. =)

The rest of the staff was ok (not specially friendly, indeed), but the girl at the desk when checking in was really unpleasant, people like her shouldn't be interacting with the public. It 's was hard to sleep, my bed shaked a lot everytime the person in the bunker below moved. On top of that, nonsense policy of bed assignment when there are still vacant beds in the same room. They charge you for keeping your luggage the day checking out
Good location in Theatre District, close to Downtown, Boston Common and South Station. Good and abundant breakfast. Clean shared bathrooms.
