Overall a good hostel to stay at in a centralized area with great cleaning and a solid bed situation providing privacy and 2 outlets/light switch/other switches that adjustment the bed or something. It's mostly held back from the incompleteness of the property(the kitchen is not done, supposed to be on the 7th floor) and lack of common area to eat food since there's only 4 tiny tables in the entrance area. The storage is under your bed and is very spacious. There is also an elevator that goes to all floors. The one thing that was odd about the bed is that it's all covered except there's a window where people can just peer in if they want to. Also, all the bathroom doors on my floor except one were not lockable because whoever built it didn't put a sliding door lock on the sliding doors. The towels are in the bathroom area ready to use with a bin to dispose of them which is convenient. Some pastries were in the front room at breakfast time and that's also where you refill your water or make coffee I think. Everything else relating to the kitchen is not yet available. Most of the issues are with the construction which means it can be improved, but it's still good in it's current state.

It is very clean and ambience is very cozy. It is the most comfortable bunk bed I have experienced. Bathrooms are clean and spacious. It is also very accessible and walkable. Their staff are very pleasant. The location is safe. If I go back to Boston, I would be staying here again. Highly recommended!

Here for hockey

This was such a great find! It didn’t feel like a hostel/pod-hotel at all. Very clean, quite, and well designed pods/bunks. Great location as well. A block from North Station makes using public transit easy. My only suggestion is to add a microwave in the common area to heat food.

Locations is perfect, close to TB garden with many stores near by. If you get a bed by the door, it is noisy and you hear every time a person walks in or out.

Newness of establishment was a plus, it felt not worn out. Staff seemed genuinely friendly and attentive, especially the gentleman on desk duty around 5am. Details that added up to discomfort: Mechanism to raise/lower bed curtain was noisy; logistics to reach the locker below bed were difficult and dark; toilet paper in bathroom was empty. However, bed as super comfortable. Thank you.

No food in rooms. Uncomfortable. Hskp at10pm

Ok first of all we had a private room or pod. With our own bathroom. Which i am super glad. When we arrived thought it was weird we not only had to present all IDS for each guest that they took a photo of we also had to take individual phones of each person. When we came back from the bruins game go off the elevator at 955PM and our door was wide open!!! Said hello and housekeeping came out. What the heck we had just checked in 4 hours ago and room was clean. They finished cleaning. The temp in our room was set to 74 and had to ask front desk to turn it down. They had to come up with a remote to do so. Also there is absolutely no food or drinks allowed upstairs in room. They have a little area at front desk to be able to eat your food.... crazy! The beds were very uncomfortable. Wont stay here again.

Good location. Staff very friendly. Rooms too small and too many beds in 1 room. Washrooms need more cleaning during the day as there are too many guests in 1 floor.
