Boston Hostellit

Plussat: all the activities for share with the people in the hostel.

Miinukset: the attentions of the personal at inside to the hostel

Plussat: It was nice to have breakfast included. Nice central location and a last minute booking was possible.

Plussat: The breakfast is pretty good.

Miinukset: I woke up my first night with red spots on my face. Not sure what it was but the spots stayed there for a long time. They just started to disappear now that I am back home. The sheets had to be changed. It only happened the first night not any other night.

Plussat: There are a lot of events setup for the visitors

Miinukset: I checked out after 2 days and they would not refund me the remaining two days, even though I checked out at 6:30am and the checkout time is at 11am. The front desk had promised they would do the refund when I checked in but then refused when I left early.

Plussat: Close to everything and it has many places to sit and lounge. WiFi was great throughout the building and rarely dropped out.

Miinukset: The bathrooms were a little dirty at times A few nights the air condition was turned off and we had to open a window because it was very hot

Miinukset: The facility was terribly dirty, when I told tonthe staff, none of them cared and said that’s what it is! Super rude staff!

Plussat: The tour guides were very friendly. They went out of their way to make me feel welcome and had great suggestions on enjoying the city. Their food recommendations were spot on -- my favorite was Pho and the Lobstah Roll!!

Miinukset: The card swiping system was a bit cumbersome to handle when moving around with a lot of luggage, but it didn't ruin the overall experience.

Plussat: The property is very clean, the free breakfast is also great to have for travellers on a budget. Staff were very friendly and able to help out on multiple occasions. The property itself was also good to hang out in with a good games section as well as relaxing areas.

Miinukset: Some showers have low pressure.

Plussat: Breakfast was ok, but not memorable. The place is clean. Conveniently located.

Miinukset: Staff was a bit uninterested and short to me; it might have mistaken it for a nonchalant attitude or blame it on the busy times at the time (maybe they can do with an extra pair of hands). One major thing that bothered me was that none of the showers had any water pressure at all. I stayed on the 5th floor and tried all the communal showers (also on the second floor). None of which classified as a shower, but more like a drip.

Plussat: I travel to Boston regularly. Some times I need to stay overnight and this has become my " go to " place in Boston. It is close to South Station, public transportation, clients and restaurants. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: At this time nothing to comment about. They have it down and do it well

Plussat: Uusien tuttavuuksien tapaamisesta! Täydellinen valinta yksin liikkuvalle. Aina törmää uusiin ihmisiin ja tutustuu muihin huippuihmisiin.

Miinukset: Aamupala oli melko vaatimaton, mutta kyllä silläkin sai itsensä täyteen.

Miinukset: I'd appreciated if they would lend us a lock key for free.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: This was the nastiest place I ever stayed in. Bathrooms are shared and that’s not a problem but 1 bathroom way was between rooms and could never use it and other bathroom downstairs and toilet rocked and shower leaked water everywhere and with one skinny shower towel to use for 3 days I was not using it to wipe up floor. It’s way the worst Hostel ever

Plussat: It was clean, had the basic necessities, easy to access, good kitchen and laundry facilities, safe, convenient location close to buses and downtown, affordable price.

Miinukset: It was across the street from a bar and at night the bar patrons were quite noisy until 2:00 am, making it difficult for me to sleep well. Also, there is no parking close by, so people with vehicles need to know that they will have to park far away and walk for about 20 min. to reach a parking garage from the hotel. There is no dining area, so patrons need to eat in their rooms.

Plussat: Burger bar over the road... Great internet (works over there too) ... Nice room.. great info via email for for codes etc.

Miinukset: Nothing... It was perfect

Plussat: Nice location, no issue with check in, room was fairly clean, restaurant and shop very near the facilities, correct price for Boston average,

Miinukset: This place need some love and care: with basic effort this place could be very nice. Obviously, managers do not care a lot about this facility: in shared kitchen there is almost nothing available (sugar or milk for coffee, for example), carpets are ruined an dirty, in everything that you see you can feel lack of interest to make it better. Funny, because of great location and nice overall look, this could be nice place to stay. I think that owners can make enough revenue even without any investment, so they don't bother to make it even better. Regrettably. Please put some effort. Thanks!

Plussat: The apartment/college feeling was cool.

Miinukset: Faster responses

Plussat: The bed

Miinukset: Lack of flexibility of arrival time

Plussat: It was definitely cheap, that's for sure. We liked that it has a full kitchen every other floor and also many bathrooms. Since it's a hostel, you do share those with others but that was never a problem for us. Even though there were other people staying in the building, I was never in the kitchen with any one or found myself waiting for a bathroom. Also the bathrooms were decently clean and always well stocked. We also liked that since there is a full kitchen there's are dishes and silverware to use (which of course you should place in the dishwasher when done) which came in handy when we bought a bottle of wine but forgot about the bottle opener and glasses.

Miinukset: Even though it appeared generally clean and well kept, the fact that there were two cockroach traps in our bedroom and then I saw another in the kitchen, kind of really skeeved me out. Luckily never saw any roaches in them though. Also, we thought we would be getting a queen bed but it was definitely just a full and also not as fluffy and comfy as the other hostel from this same company that we had previously stayed at. The worst thing about the place was the location though. The closest T station is a little under 20 minute walk, which was very awful when carrying luggage when it's snowing/sleeting out. Not fun at all. You can easily grab a taxi but the extra $6 each way adds up. There is also a bar right across the street, so with the loud drunken men chatting it up outside all night combined with the constant trucks and other loud vehicles, we found our room was never silent and it was very hard to fall asleep or to sleep in. Wouldnt stay here unless you're really desperate to save a couple bucks. There's another hostel owned by the same company located at 30 West Broadway across from the T station that is the 20 minute walk away from this one. We stayed there last year and loved it, the $30 or so less a night for this one wasn't worth it.

Plussat: Location is very good.

Plussat: Nice area. Clean room. Small but fine.

Miinukset: The room was small but fine. I rented a car and there was no parking anywhere. No person to talk to about towels or anything or even to chk out. Have to share restroom.

Plussat: The location was convenient from the south station in Boston. Room was clean and private. Shower was wonderfully HOT!!

Miinukset: I kept getting emails telling me I was supposed to validate my email even after I had done it. glitch in the booking.com system?

Plussat: The check in procedure was easy

Miinukset: The room was really small and hard for 2 people to move around
