Overall, a great stay with a fantastic location and ample public spaces for study or work or entertainment. I never ran into issues with restroom or bathroom availability, which is often a concern in hostels. Overall the bathroom looks clean. One area for possible improvement is the flooring transition between the bedroom, corridor, and bathroom. Because the floors aren't unified, you're stuck either wearing outdoor shoes to the bathroom (which is inconvenient) or using slippers that quickly get dirty. It’s a common layout issue for many hostels, but a design overhaul here would definitely improve the guest experience
I stay at hostels because of value for the money, and HI Boston meet and exceeded the mark. From check-in to having some provisions for my next adventure, whoever had the desk was friendly beyond just professional and courteous. The common areas, and particularly the kitchen, were well-stocked and well-maintained, something that isn't always true at hostels. The dorm I was in wasn't huge, but was laid out so it seemed bigger than it was, and it was impeccably clean. For a change, I had a slack day between trains, and HI Boston even had that covered with a FREE professor-led walking tour of downtown Boston!
Great hostel with a hotel-like feel. The rooms are nice, beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean with hot water and fresh towels. The staff is friendly and helpful. The common sitting and dining areas feel more like a hotel than a typical hostel. There are plenty of food options right outside, and Boston Common is nearby, which is great for events and exploring the city. I also liked the thoughtful extras—bike storage, water fountains, and even a small shop selling useful items like detergent, brushes, and snacks. The showers are modern and show usage time with color indicators (blue, green, red). They also organize activities throughout the week, which is a nice touch. Overall, a very comfortable and well-managed stay.
I had an excellent 1 night stay at HI Boston. The building is beautiful and well maintained, the bed was super comfy and cozy with added privacy. Probably the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a dorm. The staff were personable and effective. Shoutout to Joseph for being so welcoming and social at check in and check out. Thank you!
Great for solo travelers of any age who are looking for an affordable way to stay in Boston. I always meet nice and friendly people here. The kitchen is huge! Food in Boston is expensive so by buying groceries and cooking here you can save tons during your trip. They have pots/pans, plates/utensils, oil etc. The staff does the dishes and maintains the area.
