Latest Review for H.I. Boston Downtown
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Breakfast was pretty horrid. How about some cheese or jam ?
The room was quite humid and smelly.
Apart from that, everything else (especially the staff) was excellent.

HI-Boston is in the downtown Back Bay area, which includes some of the best museums and night spots in the city. Guests can enjoy daily programs, lectures, films, and workshops at the hostel. A walk along the famous Freedom Trail is the best way to see the sights that played a part in the American Revolution. Stroll around Boston Common, take in a Boston Pops concert and wander through Quincy Market with its food stalls and free entertainment. The hostel is only a few steps away from Fenway Park and from fashionable shopping on Newbury Street.
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 eco-program will afford 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, energy efficient lighting and appliances, low VOC paint, recyclable carpet, low-flow plumbing, environmental-friendly cleaning products, and motivational signs as reminders to be good stewards of the earth.
We are going beyond the traditional way of thought for conservation and recycling! When guests check in, they receive a pair of complementary flip flops for the shower. In the past, some guests threw these flip flops in the trash when they checked out. In an effort to "think outside-the-box," we recently implemented a program that allows us to collect the used sandals, sanitize them and donate them to local shelters for reuse.
Just like our linen, the future of our "Green HI-Boston" looks bright!
