Great location of near Boston common, vicinity of both greens and many activities, such as experiencing history & arts, shopping and dinning’s in walking distance. Hostel has nice rouge in the first floor from which street is visible. Bed are clean, towels are provided at beds and shower rooms. Nice place to stay for exploring the city.

This was one of the best hostels! Great location and great gathering & lounging spaces. Convenient to the Orange line T, good restaurants, Boston Commons, and BlueBike depots. My only complaint would be the cleaners banging garbage cans at 5 am.

bad experience

very very bad, other people checked in and left during the so-called "quiet hours" - from 1.30 am to 7am, almost every hour woke up due to the noise.
