H.I. Boston Downtown

Air conditioning in the room didnt do much, very warm at night. Toilets for the most part were clean but often during the day they got a bit messy but not too bad. Good location, not far from the city if you want to walk in, or else the T line is less than 5 mins away.

HI-Boston is in the downtown Back Bay area, which includes some of the best museums and night spots the city has to offer. Guests can also 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. While you're in the area, try some of the North End's famous cuisine. Stroll around Boston Common, take in a Boston Pops concert, or wander through Quincy Market with its food stalls and free entertainment!

The hostel is only a few steps away from Fenway Park and the fashionable shops of 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.

Just like our linen, the future of our “Green HI-Boston” looks bright!

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

i stayed here for 2 days for sightseeing. i think you will find this hostel very cheap and so good for that price. the best thing is the location. you can go to fenway park with 5 minutes walk, 10 minutes walk for the mit, 20 minutes for harvard. whats more, you can take the public transportation train within 1 minute walk from here.
as the price was cheap enough, i first imagined here kinda dirty, but it really is clean, especially the bath room. if i have to mention one thing that should be improved, i would say the breakfast. you can have breakfast for free, though there are only few choices of food.
still, i strongly recommend you stay here.

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.
