This is a Trusted Review. Why?
It doesnt have the greatest location but its not too hard to get to it, just the metro and the bus. You take a while to get to the center of the city is like 25 minutes. The rooms arent that bad, and it has comfortable spaces ti be just talking and resting, has an amazing cinema. The thing that is far away from the center is the only bad thing i think, by the other things is great.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I loved it for some reasons, and sincerely didn't for others.
I loved it because it is a cheap, very affordable hostel. It is something my parents would never do. There was a diverse, or at least, not the normal traveler/tourist at the lodge too. The lounge area, free coffee in the a.m. and shuttle service, I consistently used and loved each service.
I didn't like how far it was from Boston, a good 30 mins of train, bus, and walk. Which really doesn't work late at night because the buses stop running.Overall, great experience. VERY AFFORDABLE. The hassle of getting there was heavily outweighed by the pros.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Great Value for the money. Great & helpful & friendly staff. Had everything we needed incl. several PCs for internet (if you're not travelling with own laptop). Easy to get to the city with public transport.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I had mice (at least 3!) in my room one night. It was horrible. I don't recommend it at all !! It's also too expensive for what it is.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
It will be better if there's an air-conditioner
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
well yes, it is the cheapest hostel in the boston area you can find. but really, it's not worth it!! the rooms are filthy, the bathroom even more so, there is a strange smell all over the place, and you certainly do not want to use their linnen, it's full of stains (so if you're going there anyway, bring your own!!) - the same goes for their common rooms and most importantly their kitchen. unclean dishes, unclean fridge, unclean stove etc. also the good places in the area to eat out or go out they promise you, well, you won't find them in everett...
I've stayed at a whole lot of hostels on my travels so far and this hostel is the worst but one I've ever seen!! so, rather choose one of the hostels in the city. they might be a little more expensive, but it saves you the money to go on the bus and metro, it certainly saves you nerves, and it will make your stay in boston and cambridge much more enjoyable as they are indeed two places worth going!!
