This was one of the best hostels! Great location and great gathering & lounging spaces. Convenient to the Orange line T, good restaurants, Boston Commons, and BlueBike depots. My only complaint would be the cleaners banging garbage cans at 5 am.

bad experience

very very bad, other people checked in and left during the so-called "quiet hours" - from 1.30 am to 7am, almost every hour woke up due to the noise.

Under my bed you can tell that area had not ben clean in a while. I felt that there might have been fleas or bed bugs. I couldn't tell which of the two was biting me. The place is a good location. The free breakfast is great. The price of the Hostel is a bargain
