This is the ONLY hostel that I stay at when I complete my annual Boston visit and this is the ONLY hostel you should stay at, as well. There are many restaurants nearby as well as stores and the subway station is only a block away. Clean building, phenomenal staff, and excellent prices is why this is my top pick every year. Highly recommend.

This was a great hostel! Super conveniently located with 100s of restaurants all around, and easy access to mass transit. I'm still trying to figure out how to get one of their eco-friendly water saving shower heads in my home!!

I had an incredible stay at this hostel! The place was exceptionally clean, and I felt safe throughout my visit. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with recommendations or any questions I had. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it easy to meet other travelers. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation and nearby attractions. The rooms were comfortable, well-maintained, and offered great value for the price. If you’re looking for a safe, clean, and friendly place to stay, this hostel is a perfect choice. I will definitely stay here again next time I’m in the area!
