I booked a private room and it was great for the price and the location. The room was clean and had everything necessary. The staff is friendly and willing to help in anything needed. The area is full of life. It is a great, convenient option for staying in downtown Boston. The hostel is a great option if you need a kitchen or would like to meet people. The place is filled with life and activities. Highly recommended hostel.

The property is in a phenomenal area of Boston. It’s very close to the Commons, China Town, the Theatre District, and is within walking distance (1-2 mile radius) of most major tourist attractions in the downtown area. My wife and I got a private room for one night, it was super barebones, but a very affordable price. The subway theme sort of makes the hostel feel like it was built out of an old parking deck, but overall it wasn’t too bad. Would recommend if you’re looking for cheap accessibility, would not if you’re looking for a high-comfort or romantic room (though a hostel probably shouldn’t be your first pick for that anyway).

I've stayed here numerous times over the years and it never disappoints. The common areas are so comfortable and spacious, while the beds offer plenty of privacy and the thick walls & doors shut out noise - I have never had a bad night of sleep here. Many thanks to the reception staff on the morning of my arrival and later at check-in - I really benefited from that extra half hour ! Look forward to my next stay.

Stayed here for a few nights and had a great experience overall. The common area was lively and welcoming, and the bathrooms were very clean. Staff were super helpful—I accidentally badged out once and they quickly gave me a spare key card with no fuss. My room was a bit noisy since it faced the street, but that’s to be expected given the location. Would stay again.
