Spend good 3 nights at the hostel. It's in a good location next to Chinatown and only 10 minutes away from South Station ! I love that the bathroom and the toilet are their own individual rooms and they were clean too.

We had a private room. It was clean and comfortable. Can get pretty loud (city noises, people talking), and the elevator was out of service (5th floor), but it worked for us!

We would like to thank the staff, especially Angelina, she helped to switch our room to the lower floor due to the elevator was broken and we are two seniors.

Overall, I had a great stay at HI Boston Hostel. The location is excellent, the staff was friendly, and everything was clean and well organized. The only downsides were that the air conditioning in the room was too cold, and it took a long time for the shower water to warm up. Even then, the water was only lukewarm. Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hostel.

6/10 Good

My experience started off great! The front desk employees were great. It went downhill once after I checked in that the elevators were not working and my room was in the sixth floor. Being 60 that was a struggle going up and down the stairs, so ince I got to my room, I never left until I checked out. Because it was a shared room, the bathroom was full of used towels all over the floor.

Staff are super helpful. Especially Jonathan. If only the guests sharing the room had consideration for people sleeping and not be very loud every morning at 5am, then it would be brilliant. The accommodation is excellent for solo travellers. My 5th time staying & certainly not my last.
