“ the fact that its the Boston Uni halls meant that a 4-bed dorm was in fact a 3 room dorm, one with 2 beds in - it was nice to have my 'own room' in a hostel after a couple of weeks of sharing a room with tonnes of strangers! Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly; entrance security is great,... more ”

“ No Wifi. Best thing about this hostel is that the bathroom in room. Most of the outlets in my room did not work. Staff 24 hours is good. Directions to hostel from T were confusing. There is air conditioning in room. Location is good. I think the other HI Downtown is a better hostel/value. ”
