Bilgen OğuzSeptember 25, 2016You can store your luggages after your checkout at the lobby. And the lobby is a great hangout place with different places to sit, free tea and coffee, and a small library
Wi-fi is really good, and the food was nice. Really nice staff. Cool other stuff to enjoy while in the hotel, too. Activities, movie room, etc. Nice, overall.
Luke MooreJuly 8, 2013Paula was extremely friendly. Helped me and my friend find food at 3 in the morning after coming home from the bars. Overall a decent, cheap place that provided the basic necessities.
Emma B-BrownAugust 28, 2015Cheap accommodation in the heart of Boston. Things are a little run-down, but the price is very reasonable considering the location. Free popcorn after 2pm everyday!
Frederik MagnussonAugust 9, 2017A cheap place to stay. It's not fancy, but rooms and bathrooms are clean and staff is friendly + helpful. Nice location.
Benoit FilionOctober 21, 2014The hostel is cool and offers good services such as pool tables, cinema rooms and a large lounge. However one of the two showers of my floor was broken and the corridors stink a little bit.
Really recommend this hostel. Good amenities, nice staff. Neighbourhood is quiet and cute. Rooms are basic but clean. Affordable rates.
The lobby is nicer than the rooms, which are very basic. The shared bathrooms are also pretty old-fashioned. It's fine if you just need a cheap base for a visit with no frills. Free coffee 7am-5pm.
Mike LJuly 11, 2013Paula audited the room's inhabitants when coming in after getting dinner. I have never been grilled so hard upon trying to just go inside and get a night of sleep. No A/C is brutally hot.
Katarina AleksicMarch 18, 2013I recomennedne this place, 5 stars from me. Everything from stuffs to food were good!! We"ll back here :)
Anabella MingoApril 18, 2016Not a hostel in the sense of good environment or to meet people. The hostel is basic and fair. Well located but in my opinion it's way to expensive considering it's also a transitional shelter!!!
Clean room and refurbished bathrooms. Friendly staff with great tips at the desk.
Robin BlandfordMarch 23, 2016Good: great value, clean. Bad: communal toilets. Somewhere between a homeless shelter and an open prison. Lobby doesn't match rooms.
Felix JCDecember 6, 2012Do not even try to eat the breakfast. Start your day right by finding something outside.
If you don't like the food down stairs they ALWAYS have burgers that they will cook to order just ask. It takes about 10-15 minutes though
Martina BrusatoreMay 15, 2016Dirty old and expensive for what you get. ..women toilet looks better than Mens. At The mezzanine Floor there is a big Clean bathroom where Take a shower without get sick
Pretty decent place for the price. Wifi was dodgy from the 3rd floor and the pipes are loud. Rooms don't have lockers.
The wireless sucks here. Keeps cutting me off. Don't get frustrated - use a nearby Starbucks instead.
Isabel habla castellano! Muy buen lugar para alojar. Es un barrio tranquilo cerca de estaciones de metro.
OxanaMay 4, 2016Ну, такое: страшные комнатки, душевые/туалеты на этаже- далековато как-то. Если случайно там переночевать, то ок, но планировать останавливаться там- я бы не планировала.
