I enjoyed my stay at HI-Boston. I like that the shared bathrooms are in the hallway (unlike many hostels, which are in the room) and there are many individual ones available on my floor. The beds are comfy. Big kitchen area with lots of seating. Continental breakfast was ok. The hostel hosted a trivia night on Monday and they offered 2 drinks and snacks for everyone and it was great to hang out with fellow travellers for some fun times. Highly recommended this hostel. I would definitely stay with HI-Boston again!

Overall it was a pretty good experience. I would likely stay here again. However, in tge future, I would hope there would be more of a variety and more protein in the breakfast options.

This hostel is great for solo travelers. There is a $6 fee for locks for the lockers, so feel free to bring or buy your own or buy one of theirs. The first room i had was not a good situation for me, only because it was hot and the room was smelly, but the front desk staff was so accommodating, i didnt even have to sleep in that room. They gave me another bedroom with great A/C, seemed way cleaner, and smelled a lot fresher. The location is a great location. Right in the middle of china town. Super walkable city and only 5 minutes walk from the train. There is not a dedicated parking lot. Parking downtown is expensive, but you really dont need a car staying in the city. Bathrooms were cleaned twice a day and the bed was comfy for the most part. Breakfast was provided everyday, but also some great breakfast spots within walkable distance if you want that option. They have great group activities for anyone who stays there to enjoy the city of Boston and also get people to socialize. They have a full kitchen so you can cook meals if needed. Overall, i would definitely stay again! I highly recommend this place.

Hi Boston is a really good hostel in a cool building on the edge of Chinatown. It is however very expensive for what you get - i paid $490 for two night - basic accommodation with all amenities but could have been cleaner.

Great hostel to stay! Room and facilities were clean, and there were enough bathrooms to use and take shower. This hostel also provided breakfast every morning 7am-10am though the menu was simple. You can also store your luggage on the check-out day for free. The only issue that I encountered was the wireless internet in the room. I was unable to connect almost all the time in the room though I could use the internet outside of the room.

Loved the location! I got off the train & it was a 10 min walk to the hostel. It’s located in Chinatown so there were PLENTY of Asian restaurants to try (there were also other type of food to try at different restaurants). Very walkable. The TD Garden stadium was a 25-30 min walk away. I enjoyed trivia night that they offered as well. As for the property & staff itself: def poor!! I went to the counter a few times to check-in/ ask a question & there was no greeting. The workers just continued talking to each other or typing on the computer until I said excuse me smh. It was hot af in the building/ rooms. The mysterious AC was “broken” but it’s funny how the panels in 4 different rooms I was able to poke my head in were unattached. Sleeping in an 80 deg F room is unacceptable!! Someone threw up on a couch, I saw the mess around 12a, went down for breakfast @ 8a & it was still there just covered w/paper towels & a fall risk sign smh. The place may cater to college kids & international students but they still deserve better than that!

The price was more affordable than a hotel and it was close to lots of public transportation options. The staff was friendly and helpful. The dorm style rooms had lots of bathrooms close by. You do have to bring or buy a lock for your locker space and the bathrooms are about as clean as a dorm bathroom. It can get stuffy if you are there in summer. Overall, it was about what I would expect for a hostel.

When I arrived late at my room there was a person sleeping in my bed; had to go down again to the main desk to ask. Once in the main desk the person there thought I was mistaken and I wasn´t staying where I was saying, I had to have him look for my signed check in document from all the bunch of that day because for some reason the system didn´t show I was staying at the hostel at all. Once they finally found the signed document for the bed I told them was mine they had to check for another bed to give me, hand me my stuff they took from my previous bed and send me to another room; all this process to about an hour. Since it got resolved I didn´t make much of it and went to bed. Bad thing is with all of that happening at 2-3 in the morning and them taking my stuff from my locker I lost a pair of glasses of mine; I have two pairs, I´m always wearing one and I didn´t notice I didn´t have then till I had left the city. I loved those glasses and they are expensive, the hostal lost them because of a mistake from them and I´m really pissed about it.
