    By far this is the best hostel I've stayed in, and I've been to many. Although its much more expensive than most , its well worth the money! Quite honestly, I have never met a crew of Hostel employees who genuinely care about making a persons stay comfortable as possible.

    I appreciate the fresh fruit at breakfast. I must eat gluten-free, and the fruit was all I could eat.

    I was very pleased by how close the T and Backbay shopping areas were. My room was very neat and the bathrooms were clean and tidy. I was surprised that it was $40 a night, though and wished I could have stayed for $25 a night, since I am a student. For a room with five others and a top bunk I felt it was not worth $40.

    Electrical power in rooms with all the extension cords seems a little dicey
