The staff was friendly, and the location was very convenient. You can find almost anything you want to eat within walking distance. The cleanliness was average, though. Someone had dumped noodles into the bathroom sink, which was pretty gross…

Staff friendly, clean hostel with massive kitchen for cooking. No gym but plenty of areas around to run (Boston Common, Freedom Trail). Highly recommend this place - great spot in Chinatown. Use 40 Beach St parking garage and validate at front desk for cheaper rate.

The dorm and shared bathroom are clean. The only con is, many ambulances passing by with siren on since the hostel is near by a medical center, might not ideal hostel for light sleepers. The location is walkable to all the attractions, and public transportation. I will come back

I was pleasantly surprised. The whole facility was amazing. I definitely will be going back. I stayed in an awful room with six beds. I had no problems with it. I woke up about 8:30 in the morning to clean bathrooms. Had a great day. Got back around 11pm everyone was quiet. Some people were eating the kitchen, but everyone kept themselves you wanted to socialize you could if you want stay alone you could too . Lots of free excursions as well I went during fourth of July fantastic

Maybe its bad timing the elevator wasnt working when i went… good thing im only on the 3rd floor. I also heard some ac was not working… my ac was working too well cuz it’s too cold that I cant sleep. I also cant control the ac. Other than that staff were friendly and explains well… room was clean, im in a private room. I also dont like how the light is motion sensitive cuz I constantly need to wave for it to light up again.
