Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I've stayed here numerous times over the years and it never disappoints. The common areas are so comfortable and spacious, while the beds offer plenty of privacy and the thick walls & doors shut out noise - I have never had a bad night of sleep here. Many thanks to the reception staff on the morning of my arrival and later at check-in - I really benefited from that extra half hour ! Look forward to my next stay.

I had the most comfortable bed I’ve ever had in a hostel and maybe one of the best in any hotel as well. The amenities were great as was the staff. The layout of the hostile was well thought out and there were plenty of plugs and outlets and storage spaces everywhere. I would highly recommend this place and I will likely stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Really wanted to like this place but everytime I stay here i always get put in a room with someone snoring way too loud in the room. Staff is overwhelmed by workload and doesn't give great service. Lots of common room areas but many areas are never cleaned. You're better off staying at Found Boston; smaller property but much better managed plus you atlrast have a chance to get a room without loud snoring people. Or better yet just stay in a real hotel. You will regret trying to save money by staying here.

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.
