It's a bit of a trek to get into Boston but it's a good way to see the city and master the metro. I enjoyed the hostel, but wish they had lockers or lockable drawers in the rooms.

1Very clean; small dorms, a bit out of the way but with easy access to bus routes 104 and 109 to orange line of the subway; good value and I would certainly stay there again.

2Place is a long way from the city, which will cost you $3.50 to and from, so that is $7 each time you leave the hostel. Also when someone shifts even an inch while they are sleeping it sounds like there is an earthquake in the room, beds are way too loud.

55The prescott is a good advice on visit boston. Unfortunly you need to use the bus to reach a subway. But this is all about the bad news about this hostel. All other things like cleanliness and friendliness of the staff are very well.

Although there was a hard-working young lady at the desk the morning we were leaving, no one else was particularly useful. Most of the time there was no one at the front desk, so we had to wait in order to check-in. The place was really dumpy. Every chair was stained, our room reaked of air freshener, and the sheets were badly stained. You have to take a bus, and then two subways to get downtown.close

I accidentally booked my room for the wrong night but they found a place for me anyway! It is quite a trek outside of Boston but well worth it. They recommended an excellent restaurant and when I had problems with a person in my dorn who kept turning the light on at hourly intervals from 1am, they were greatly apologetic. Value for money and really friendly.close

Is very far away for the city, the plugs doesn't work, the internet is slow and they haven't cold water in the bathrooms. Is remarkable the fact that the staff is going to treat you like an idiot if you complain about the smallest thing and they will not give you any solution.close
