I stayed in a twin room, which had little character but was pretty clean, had a closet (with no hangers) and dresser, desk, microwave and television. The garbage in the bathroom was nearly overflowing and ran out of toilet paper, but after I called down, one more roll was quickly replenished. There is no kitchen or common room. The location is a bit far from downtown, but the subway is nearby, and there are a bunch of interesting international restaurants, deli's, bakeries and grocers in the area.

The innkeeper was very helpful providing directions and suggestions for touring the city. He was as friendly as his fellow Bostonites. Pluses: Great location (near the T and bus lines; good selection of eateries; nearby convenience stores); good linens (clean sheets and nice, thick bath towels); hot bathwater as advertised. Ehhs: Saw a mouse in my room and commotion from the next (they also saw a mouse); prominent layer of dust on the floors; musty-smelling in both hostel buildings; wet/dingy bathroom. The walls are thin and you can hear all that's going on between your neighbors and the occupant down the hall. Couldn't find the remote to the t.v. Be advised to pack your own soap and toilet paper.

Had this stay been our first stay, we would have not considered to return. We were in a different building and this was not as clean, had stale ordors expect in the room. The bed was very poor with the mattress rolling to the middle and creaking evey time your moved. Due to being on the weekend it was more expensive. we were asked if we would prefer a private room and not explained that there was no cooking facilities. This is one of the reason we do hostels..This was avaiable on our first stay. When asking about this there was no solution offered. We were told that this weekend was not a full house. Thanks Gary & Loretta

Cheap, but far more like a hotel than a hostel.

compared to other hostels in other US cities, this hostel is expensive for what you get/location. the decoration is very old fashioned and it has a musty atmosphere, but it is adequate for a few nights stay.

The staff was very nice but the accommodation is a bit far from the city centre, even if the subway is close! This Inn is a good solution to be in Boston without spending too much money.

Good value for little money. We booked 3 bed-rooms, but we got rooms with each 2 double beds, which were too small for our male friends. Bathrooms were more or less clean, but room doors did not seem very safe. Nice atmosphere, located in a residential area but also close to a lot of pubs. By tram 20 min to the city center. Free parking!
