Hostelling International, Boston

Location is great, the room was cleans and quite. I was having a bad night due to the cold temperature but they gave me a extra blanket and that helps me a lot.

There are no curtains on some of the windows in the room, this allows a lot of light to enter.

everything.

nothing.

I felt safe in the hostel.

The china town area left something to be desired

facility was clean. location is good. room was quite. Staff could smile little more though. They were usually nice but could have smiled little more. The city tour and the tour guide, Fred was fantastic.

Check in is after 3pm which is kind of too late for someone travel from long distance. It could be earlier. the curtain which covers bunker or bed does not cover the bunker completely all the way. The little part at the end of bed stays open. It would have been much better if the curtains go all the way to the end.

Hi Boston Hostel is located near Chinatown and is just a few minutes' walk away from the closest subway station. The Hotel features a lot of different activities every day, including an interesting tour in Harvard.

I live on the 4th floor, and none of the washrooms have a working hair dryer. Most of the washrooms don't even have a working socket where I can plug in my own hair dryer.

Excellent place!! Great people

Everything was perfect!!

Clean rooms, great location and good atmosphere all round.

This hostel is superb. Great, big and entertaining common areas (enormous kitchen and many spots to relax, work or play a pool game), super clean and comfortable bathrooms, and spacious rooms. The staff is also super nice and always accommodating. The location is also great as you'll be equidistant from most of the Boston area main attractions.

Mattresses could be a little bit better, mine at least was a bit worn and uncomfortable for the back.

Great safe location, nice rooms, plenty of things to do. We attended Harvard trip with Peter and it was amazing

5- Star Customer Service....

I stayed at HI hostel for Boston marathon and I felt very welcome there. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made sure that we runners had everything what we need for carb-loading before the race - a nice breakfast and a pasta party.

Location

Room was cold the first night, which was ok because possible to just add a blanket. Room was hot the 2nd night, which is slightly difficult to deal with. Room was comfortable 3rd & 4th night.

Friendly staff, clean bathroom which is a huge win, clean room

The location is incredible

The sirens, non spot

Really thoughtful hostel design! Great kitchen and dining facilities, excellent privacy with the bathrooms, and a great solution to the age-old hostel question of "how do you keep bathmats sanitary and not gross?" (this hostel's answer: have a stack of clean ones on hand in each bathroom and let guests use them as necessary.) Super hot water in the spacious showers. Love that each guest gets a locker and two hooks (my thinking is, one for a towel and one for a coat, perfect). The gas fireplace in the lobby was so cozy and welcoming. Good location near Beacon Hill.

Privacy curtains around the beds only went halfway, I'm not sure why. Cold in the rooms, but I just got another blanket and that was fine. Poor wifi. No breakfast offered, aside from free coffee/tea. Tip for management: some kind of sign explaining the dish-washing situation would have been helpful; it wasn't clear to me if staff was supposed to wash the dishes or, as in most hostels, guests were expected to wash what they used.

Everything

I don’t have a complaint

I loved the location it was perfect

I wish they had small towels for the bathroom

Amazing location. Staff so friendly and the place is very clean. I highly recommend staying here.

Nice receptions for the marathon runners, very welcomed by all staff.

It’s close to everything I needed

Not sure if there is a type of rewards program for repeat customers

Conveniently located near Boston Common, this hostel offers great privacy in bunk beds, well-maintained facilities like the 2nd-floor kitchen, and a welcoming social atmosphere with plenty of activities.

All well 👍

Available bathroom and excellent location in the downtown area.

The room layout and the noisiness

Excellent customer service and friendly staff

Cold concrete floors (bring slippers)

The location is excellent! You can walk to downtown and is next to a main shopping street. I also liked that bathroom were individual and were kept clean daily. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I was able to store my bags after check-out. There are hydration station on each floor.

I am 186 cm tall and the bed was a bit too short. I could hear people talking on the corridor.

Everything was nice and convenient. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Location was fab, easy and quick to walk everywhere, including South Station to get the Silver Line to the airport. Loads of free activities provided, which were great to explore the city and get to know people. The extended freedom trail with Tommy was fantastic, don't miss it! Bathrooms were clean and there was a shower, toilet and sink in each one of them, which is very comfortable. I'd definitely stay here again!

Breakfast not available although there is free coffee in the morning. There's a place called Panera to grab breakfast 2 minutes away so this wasn't a big issue.

It was close to many attractions, everything was from a walking distance, and there was many things to do around the area.

Tommy is the best! But the whole Team is excellent! I also liked the activities like Yoga or movie nights

Great location, everything is good!

Very nice, and helpful staff, clear and safe environment in the Hostel:)

Someone left dirty dishes sat there for s long time

The common areas were larger than I expected, and the entire hostel was designed in a cool way to reflect Boston. The room had charging ports and curtains for privacy on the bed. There was enough space in the common area to find a quiet corner if needed, and the location could not have been better, close to a ton of bars, Chinatown, public transport and much of the downtown sites.

No complaints, I would stay here agian

Great location!

Great property and well designed!

I have stayed at this property on various other occasions. The staff members were phenomenal. They were friendly and accommodating. I loved how clean and immaculate everything was. Returning after some time was refreshing. The rooms were clean. I met people who were interactive, kind, and hardworking. There were multiple events going on. There were tours. There was so much to do!

N/A

The location was great. Only a few minutes walk from South Station, and with plenty of restaurants around, being located next to China Town. The staff was very friendly and helpful in advising where to go for drinks or pointing out the next grocery store. The room was quiet spacious and the locker fit my whole suitcase, so that wasn't standing around and in the way. Great also was that the windows opened and the beds had black out curtains. Very clean, shared bathrooms just outside the room. Large kitchen/dining area.

Cant think of anything.

It's in a great location (Chinatown) and within walking distance of train stations. It's very clean, and the staff was friendly and able to answer any questions I had. They also offer activities both inside and outside the hotel; some are paid, but most are free.

Friendly people, really good location. Super chill and relaxed atmosphere. A true hostel experience

Not a lot comes to mind. Although getting a lock is a bit inconvenient but otherwise manageable

Great location, places nearby and the rooms are clean

My bed was too close to the heat and was uncomfortable

Very well located (chinatown and little walk from subway station)/ planned activities inside the hostels mostly free/ friendly staff

very warm in some rooms

A lot of hangout spots and small nooks around the hostel. The kitchen is very large and there was even free food when I arrived at night. The beds were comfortable and there were chargers at the head and a small shelf to put your phone.

Rooms aren't that soundproof and the door to the shared rooms is very heavy and loud when closing, so I got woken up a lot.

Amazing location! 10 min walk from the south station, very convenient!

This is a great place to stay in Boston for the money. The city has overpriced hotels. The location is convenient, and there are so many places within the hostel to spend time outside of the room. The dining and lounge areas are so spacious. I’ve been coming here for years.

Nothing

It was amazing, clean, calm, the location is pretty good. They organize some activities that you can join like tours, games

The room is really clean, the bed is huge and the bathroom is new and good

The floor is too cold, there’s not much space between the wall and the bed to walk and I think it’s pretty expensive for a hostel without breakfast

The Trips around Boston and blend for people of all backgrounds

The location is super it's near Chinatown and many restaurants around the area. Easy walking from/to Bright line station.they have toilet / bathroom in the room and also in the walkway of each floors make it is so convenient. Overall it's over my expectations

This is a very modern, vibrant hostel. We stayed in a private suite, which was huge and very nice. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and they organize plenty of free tours and group events, if it interests you. The building is very central, at the border of Chinatown. Free wifi was very useful, as well as the deal with a nearby parking (3 mn on foot) where we could park for a reasonable daily sum.

Although house rules are strict on noise during the evening, it can still become noisy, especially outside, which you can hear in the rooms. Even so, not too disturbing. A mini-fridge would have been a nice added value.

Comfortable and clean.

I greeted staff every morning with “good morning” not once was the greeting returned. Staff could be more welcoming as the facility is.

Excellent service
