    Stayed during a Boston-Providence-Newport roadtrip. I chose it because it was the cheapest option ($30/night), but it was soooo pleasant and clean. (Tip: I searched on google but it didnt show the dorm rates, it only showed an expensive private room, but I checked the hostel's direct site and booked the $30 dorm bed, so don't go by google's weird price.) Felt as clean and cozy as a bed and breakfast!

    I stayed here for a night and I got amazing value for what I paid for: The hostel is located in the…read moreheart of Downtown Boston near Chinatown and Faneuli Hall and other historical locations. Boston is an incredibly walkable city, and aside from the JFK Library, I was impressed at how close the hostel was to so many iconic locations: Beacon Street, the Commons, City Hall, and the Boston Public Library, just to name a few. I loved how I didn't need a car to get to any of those locations, because everything was walking distance. The hostel itself was outstanding. I loved that for guests, there's a dedicated floor for pool, hanging out, a kitchen area to eat and cook, etc., but I also loved the daily activities they had for guests: On the night I stayed, they had a drinks mixer to meet people, and I got to meet people from Peru, Germany, New Jersey, Australia, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, and other places. We did a bar crawl based on availability and who the staff knew and had relationships with. The staff took us to the bar where the Founders planned the Boston Tea Party. As a guy who loves history and reads about history and travels to places for its historical sites, there was genuinely nothing cooler than being to go get a drink at the same bar where our Founders planned to throw tea into the Harbor. I have to warn people that I thought about bringing a lock before my stay, but I didn't. The front desk has locks for $8 in case you need something. The bathrooms were well maintained, and the bathrooms had soap and shampoo. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place where the staff will facilitate ways for you to meet people and hang out.

Located centrally between Chinatown and the Theatre District, and a simple one block walk from the United States first park, The Common, similarly to the first subway - The T. From Boston's downtown hostel, all things tourist are well within walking distance. Want to go a bit further, perhaps Salem? Hop on the nearby and easily used train system. Not to mention free guided tours and events, welcoming staff, and clean private sleeping areas. Oh, and the restrooms, private - none shared - how is that not a bonus when traveling on the cheap? Have I glossed over the entire floor dedicated to amenities? Pool, TV, Nomadic Focused Work Area, Full Commercial Level Kitchen, Dining Room with a View, Laundry, and more~! HI Boston Hostel is my top choice for a safe warm and cozy base of operations every time I travel through the area.

It was sheer agony trying to open the door to dorm 1. I had the correct code but the door would not open. Check-in Michael is rude beyond words and manager, Michael is a freak who doesn't understand basic English. I felt very uncomfortable the first night and told Ryan I wanted a refund to avoid "pain and suffering" on all sides. I was granted a full refund: however, I was soon thereafter, for no reason banished from the hostel and property. The text to me read, "If you come back it will be considered trespassing and you will be arrested." That was cruel and totally uncalled for and undeserved. The situation was very poorly handled. Trained chimps could have done it better.

Upon arrival the room was at 68 (below 30 outside) soooo turned that sucker up. Put it on 74 and thought it would warm up overnight. Arrived pretty late, after 11pm. To my suppose the room was still at 68. And getting out of a warm bed to that was not my idea of a good morning. I called the front desk and the agent confirmed I was using the right thermostat to control the temp and noted that maintenance would check it. That was fixed as when I returned it was a nice balmy 76! Downside though was the unit did an odd cycling thing with warm air....cold air...warm air. So it never shut off at night and tan the entire time. Their drive way is odd, one way only and Tuesday morning there was a delivery truck blocking the exit. Thankfully no one else was behind us so we were able to back out. The room felt very industrial. Concrete walls and high ceilings, with an almost open concept bathroom. Barn door and the shower was a waterfall (over head) with hand held option thankfully. If you've got curtly hair, you know why a waterfall shower is the worst. And to ere was no shower cap as an option. The shower itself did not go all the way to the ceiling which also meant there was no barrier between you and the room. If share with a partner may not be bad but with friends, that's a nightmare. Other downside was the lock was funky. When leaving for dinner, thank goodness I checked the lock as it did not lock. I had to open the door and mess with it to finally lock. All in all decent hotel however I can't say I'd stay again.
