Great location of near Boston common, vicinity of both greens and many activities, such as experiencing history & arts, shopping and dinning’s in walking distance. Hostel has nice rouge in the first floor from which street is visible. Bed are clean, towels are provided at beds and shower rooms. Nice place to stay for exploring the city.

This was one of the best hostels! Great location and great gathering & lounging spaces. Convenient to the Orange line T, good restaurants, Boston Commons, and BlueBike depots. My only complaint would be the cleaners banging garbage cans at 5 am.

HI Boston is the best Hostel I've stayed in thus far. The prices are reasonable, the amenities are great, and they have a lot of in-house and out of house activities and excursions. The place is very welcoming, the staff are amazing. The items they have for sale are reasonably priced. Can't say enough good things about my experience. I will definitely choose HI Hostels in future travels!
