Nice enough

Fine enough place. Very good rate, you get what you pay for. Fine folks in my room. Quiet and kept to their own. I would recommend if you’re in town and looking to keep costs low.

Great hostel located in China Town in Boston. The common areas are kept very clean. Breakfast was included in the price, which makes this hostel a bargain. The breakfast buffet is fine, has limited but a variety of option.

I am brand new to staying in hostels. It was totally safe and I slept well. I got in late so didn't have a chance to socialize at dinner. I did notice though that this is a very big hostel - I think? So it's less intimate.

I was pleased, given this is a hostel, at how gloriously comfortable the bunk bed was, with quality linen, that allowed me to relax and sleep well, despite sharing the room with five others! I appreciated my roommates' consideration around being quiet and thoughtful.
