Interactions at an Ideal Location
My favorite things about HI Boston are the interactions with people from all over the world and its ideal location for walking Boston with American history forefront and center. Considering the multi-guests rooms, shared bathrooms, and open community spaces including the kitchen, the staff does a superb job of keeping the place clean and orderly. The desk staff is upbeat and always willing to be as helpful as needed..

Great hostel right in the middle of Chinatown
I loved everything about this hostel! We booked a private room and since it’s a hostel, we weren’t expecting much. To our surprise, the room was big and had everything we needed. Staff are always helpful and accommodating. Location is in the middle of chinatown so a lot of the tourist spots were within walking distance. 10/10 would recommend

Great stay at HI-Boston
I enjoyed my stay at HI-Boston. I like that the shared bathrooms are in the hallway (unlike many hostels, which are in the room) and there are many individual ones available on my floor. The beds are comfy. Big kitchen area with lots of seating. Continental breakfast was ok. The hostel hosted a trivia night on Monday and they offered 2 drinks and snacks for everyone and it was great to hang out with fellow travellers for some fun times. Highly recommended this hostel. I would definitely stay with HI-Boston again!

I've stayed twice so far and will always stay here while traveling solo. As a solo female, I always feel very safe and welcomed. Very clean and the area has amazing food. The Dumpling Cafe was devine and there's a pizza place two doors down that sells slives bigger than your head. I always wake up incredibly early and can be sure to find coffee ready to go in the dining hall. Fantastic place!!

I had a lovely stay at this hostel! It’s conveniently located close to South Station. The bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean and spacious, staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was simple but filling. I would love to stay there again!

Stay was comfortable. However, the property said they validate parking and scanned my ticket. When I try to leave the parking garage, I see that my card is charged $60 for parking which is ridiculous. Really disappointed with this.

Clean well appointed hostel. We stayed in a private room with an ensuite which was larger than expected, clean and had a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was excellent, the staff helpful and the location. Other than a bit of noise from one of the dorms on our floor on the first night (which stopped when people asked them to keep the noise down) it was surprisingly quiet. Would recommend.
