“ It's pretty far from Boston, you have to take train and bus, which takes around 30 minutes or more... you can't go out to Boston during the night because there is no public transport to go back but there are some Brazilian clubs around. The staff was really nice and helpful, we were traveling... more ”

“ Actually, when you get to the Backpackers' Bargain Rock, you find a locked door with a phone number attached to it. When you call the number, you're redirected to a nearby hostel called the Prescott. I don't think that's a very honest approach for the hostel owner to take. ”

“ the location is a bit outside the city, but if i don't live here, i don't think i might ever came to this place. the bus and subway connection are pretty convenience, but gotta wait a bit on the weekend :(. they don't serve breakfast which is to my surprise. ”

“ I would have said it to be more clean, but I found vomit in a shower stall in the morning. I understand it was early, and staff was just getting there, but I think it took it down a step. Otherwise a good deal. ”

“ the hostel is not in boston, and doesn't take half hour to get there, it takes more. Pay the extra and stay in boston where you intend to visit.

“ The Hostel isnt in Boston, its in Everett and Youll have to be there before 00.30 because the public transportation stops then. No liquor past 22.00 either in Everett. The hostel has a pool room which is really cool. The beds were suprisingly big for a hostel. I would give it a 3+ ”

“ Location is out of the city centre, our room had no toilet, or air conditioning, which led to a sweaty nights sleep. All in all, not brilliant, but if you're looking for a place to sleep and that's all, then it'll do. ”

“ Only two toilets working, no hot water from the showers in the evening, no airco in the rooms and I was afraid to keep windows open sooo really hot. Also next to a really busy road so be prepared for some noise. It is exactly what you pay for. ”
