I was grateful to have a place to stay while in transition. My only concern was that that when I rang the doorbell to the establishment after midnight, the personnel at the front desk ignored me. I was only able to get in after another guest used his card to let me in. When I asked the staff why they didn't let me in, they said they didn't know I was there even though they could see me gesturing to them through the glass. I would recommend the door bell be fixed. Other than that small issue, my stay was pleasant and easy and I would recommend it to others.

This Hostel was superb, I stayed in the old one, and loved it, but this was such a surprise, every comfort and such a spacious room, great breakfast and excellent position, walk to Subway to go to Airport, and great restaurant next door. Thankyou Lynette Brebner Australia

HI-Boston has a small library but a very good one, lots of variety of books. Thank you for having that onsite, and maybe later on you can add space for more books!

I was impressed. Such a good place! Clean, comfortable, good light. The breakfast is not impressive, but anyway, is a good start for a day off walking around the city.

NEWS!! Hostelling International Boston is turning green! No, it is not ill, nor is it giving up its blue and white logo; we are becoming more environmentally friendly! HI - Boston’s new facility will be LEED certified and is also participating in Sustainable Travel Internationals’ STEP program which focuses on sustainable processes. Not only are we taking steps to ensure that our building and our operations are as sustainable as they can be but we also have an eco-program that affords our staff and guests the opportunity to become "better stewards of the earth and its resources." At HI-Boston you will find great recycling stations, elevators that recapture energy as they descend, low VOC paint, recyclable carpet, low-flow plumbing, energy efficient lighting and appliances, environmental-friendly cleaning products, and motivational signs as reminders to be good stewards of the earth. Just like our linen, the future of our "Green HI-Boston" looks bright!
