I thought that security was pretty decent except there isn't a front desk or anybody visual, it's mostly done via a telephone and so that was kind of weird. Location is pretty good, buses and metro is nearby. The sheets weren't the cleanest but the bathroom was pretty darn clean. The building is overall very old and the beds are squeaky and there aren't any lockers.

I initially phoned the hostel directly to make a reservation for a dorm bed, and was told that none were available, and was offered a private room for $60 a night, which is pricey for traveling alone...so I immediately went online and managed to book a dorm bed through this website for $30 a night at the same place...it was annoying to be told by staff that there were no dorm bed vacancies when in fact there were. Otherwise nice hostel and location, the bed was large and clean.

Beds were comfortable and large. The place was very cute and I'd stay here again.

Bathroom ceiling started leaking in the morning, but other than that, pretty cool. Lively area even at night & not too far from downtown. Room & hallway got a little bit creepy at night, but everything was fine!

This address is great: clean, nice staff, not far from a subway station in a lively area and not too far from the city centre. Decoration is kitch but it\'s funny. Rooms are big and equiped (microwaves, fridge, sink...). There is a real car park which is really convenient.
It is a great place if you want to spend a few nights in Boston for a good price, but if you are looking for a fun place to meet people and with animations, do not go there.
I would recommend this hostel.

This place sucks. There is no front desk and the staff just appear from nowhere. There is no common area and the dorm rooms are very cramped. For the price, I could manage the cramped rooms but would suggest finding space for a common room / lounge in the building. This would remove the creepy atmosphere and make it easier to meet other guests.

The place was need and clean with a much more homey felling than what you usually find. Which I personaly liked. It is a bit far from the center of Boston, but close to a metro that will take you there. And in an area not without is own charm. especialy for the college goers!

I had a great time here! The other guests were very friendly and the place had a great atmosphere. However, the area is really loud at night and not so safe. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

staff were nice and helpful. instructions on how to get there were clear. it's just a pity it seems so far away from the central action of Boston. although there are quite a few nice cafes around the area and bus route 66 to harvard was close and quite. rooms are pretty basic but they do the job. they're secure and have working tv and microwave. not much happens together as a hostel but that was actually a nice thing about Farrington too.
