It did not look at all like the online photos. It had been changed and it was all a bit worn. The floors had rug/rubber panels that were coming up. The wall paint was a bit dirty and scratched and needs freshening up. The water pressure was a bit low, but adequate for showers. I thought the cooking stove in the laundry room was very odd and cannot be used in any safe, practical way. Also, the cooking would likely stink up the laundry room. Would be much better if there were cooking capabilities in each room. It was also a bit of a bummer that there is no parking facility for cars.

The location was good and the room was comfortable and had been cleaned prior to my arrival. The tv features were great, with streaming capabilities. The kitchenette , with fridge, sink, etc, was also a huge plus. The bunk bed was also cool and was bigger that I thought it would be. The laundry facilities on our floor is also a great feature.

The noise from outside was constant. Due to the non working air conditioning, the owner has kludged a portable air conditioner into the window frame. This is noisy when on, and when off, noise from outside travels up the thin 6" air hoses. The TV probably works ok, if you speak Spanish overwise, you just mash the buttons until something understandable comes on. The corridors are smelly - very little ventilation in these areas. The lift lets you know you are approaching the fifth floor, with a load bang outside the cabin. Probably ok, but I opted for the stairs.

This hotel is in the heart of the city, and yet the common is 2 mins walk away - perfect. Shower was good and plenty of towels and sundries supplied. The bed was comfortable.

Very small room, its rather students dorm than suite. No sound proof either inside or outside. Especially if you stay on weekend- you simply wont be able to sleep due to noise.

Location is perfect, lots of shops and cafe around, nice parks and groceries. Close to the theaters. You can also cook inside and do laundry (shared). Host is nice and responsive.

One of the blanket was still humid: very clean, but not enough time passed in the dryer. Pretty unconfortable to sleep

Awesome location: downtown Old city of Boston!

Wasn't really clean. The beds moves a lot.

Location it's great.

Although well maintained, the place has a lower standard: carpet detaching from floor, stains on the chairs, holes in walls and doors. The bedframe is not stable, one person moving will be felt by all 4 sleepers. The AC unit is (very) noisy and its performance is barely adequate.

Check-in/check-out were very straightforward. Kitchen and bathroom were equipped adequately. The location is awesome: next to the Commons, to public transportation, to shops and restaurants... ("Democracy Brewing" next door is highly recommended, great food and IPA).

I thought the kitchen was in the property. It was a community kitchen. Beds were uncomfortable. AC was not effective. It was loud and ran the whole time and still didn’t get very cool.

Good location, clean, relatively inexpensive for the area.

The room was quite clean, nothing to complain about really, bu the common kitchen and the staircase - something to improve.

Fantastic location - in the center of Boston, close to all historical sights you want to see in Boston! At first we had some misunderstanding with staff but we managed to solve all the questions via chat.

AC is loud , if you are lighter sleeper. It seems fine with my kid though.

excellent location

Please update the refrigerator, it was way too loud and we needed to unplug it to be able to sleep, and I cannot imagine that this is costing a normal amount of electricity.

We definitely expected a bigger room since it says it fits 4 people. It can be a little bit tight but manageable. The bathroom was huge so it was a good bonus. The specialty was the kitchen, it was super well equipped and we enjoyed making breakfast there. However, the pots and pans could maybe be updated as they do look quite old and a bit dirty. Accessing the building is actually quite okay given all the codes one needs to use but the locations is quite unbeatable for the price we think.

The air conditioner was good but kind of noisy. It would be great if there was a kettle and tea available. Also, more complete information about the entry codes (we didn't know we had to press * at the end of the code, this info wasn't provided to us in advance).

The room was a good size, as were the beds, there was a good sized fridge and kitchenette, everything we needed was there as far as an iron, hairdryer and so on.

Our room was faced to the front of the building, and the front street is noisy and windows isolation is not good. The portable air conditioning/heater was very noisy, even though we did not need to use it for extended periods as we got pleasant temperatures. At some points of the day, water was barely warm in the shower.

Location is good with easy access. Price is lower than other properties with similar good location. Room overall is okay, as expected for the price paid, even though furnitures/finishings are cheap.

There were no hand towels or wash cloths to be found. There were only three bath towels even though our reservation was for four people.

Great location. Comfortable bed. Key code entry was easy and convenient.

Sheets were quite dirty, it was smaller than expected and darker. I was also charged more than I was expecting to but we had a great time in Boston so it’s okay :)

The location was amazing. Like seriously what a perfect spot to explore Boston from. Beds were comfy, and thank god for that AC! TV was a bonus too.

It was a little smaller than I thought it would be, but as I said, it was just me so it wasn't a huge deal.

You couldn't beat the location and the proximity to everything. The room was perfect for just me and the fact that I was in and out. Even though there was no staff onsite, I felt pretty safe.

Stayed in April 2022

No desk or table in the room meant days working on my laptop seated on the floor working at a coffee table. The "air conditioning" was a loud fan, having said that, it came in handy when I lost my quarters in the dryer and had to hang my clothes to dry by the fan. The neighborhood is a little rough.

When I arrived, the fridge was not functioning, but maintenance replaced it within a few hours. The price was good and water pressure was strong in the shower. I liked the multiple locks--outer building door, floor door, and room door. Great breakfast cafes on the block.
