Great location- Matthaus was great. Very clean but definitely not the Hilton in terms of comfort (no tv, about 100 sq ft). Mattress was the equivalent of a pull out couch but a great experience for the price which was about 1/3 of the downtown rates for that night. If you are just looking for a great location for TD Garden for a couple of nights, this fits the bill. Overall a very good experience for a lot of reasons. Thank you, Matthaus!

Everyone is so respectful and quiet in the shared room — I got a single bed and it feels like a private space with a blind on. There are plenty of bathrooms that each comes with shower. Exceeded expectations.

Overall a good hostel to stay at in a centralized area with great cleaning and a solid bed situation providing privacy and 2 outlets/light switch/other switches that adjustment the bed or something. It's mostly held back from the incompleteness of the property(the kitchen is not done, supposed to be on the 7th floor) and lack of common area to eat food since there's only 4 tiny tables in the entrance area. The storage is under your bed and is very spacious. There is also an elevator that goes to all floors. The one thing that was odd about the bed is that it's all covered except there's a window where people can just peer in if they want to. Also, all the bathroom doors on my floor except one were not lockable because whoever built it didn't put a sliding door lock on the sliding doors. The towels are in the bathroom area ready to use with a bin to dispose of them which is convenient. Some pastries were in the front room at breakfast time and that's also where you refill your water or make coffee I think. Everything else relating to the kitchen is not yet available. Most of the issues are with the construction which means it can be improved, but it's still good in it's current state.

It is very clean and ambience is very cozy. It is the most comfortable bunk bed I have experienced. Bathrooms are clean and spacious. It is also very accessible and walkable. Their staff are very pleasant. The location is safe. If I go back to Boston, I would be staying here again. Highly recommended!

Here for hockey

This was such a great find! It didn’t feel like a hostel/pod-hotel at all. Very clean, quite, and well designed pods/bunks. Great location as well. A block from North Station makes using public transit easy. My only suggestion is to add a microwave in the common area to heat food.
