- “ The Good: Location, Cleanliness: I can't recall a cleaner hostel in all my years of traveling, Free Wifi, BookCrossing section in the library, Free activities. The Bad: This is a smart building, so the temperature controls in the rooms are automatic, the room I stayed in was rarely just right when it came to the temp, was either HOT or cool. First arrived and the room was stuffy from stinky roommates, cracked the window to get some fresh air in, that made the heat BLAST away. EXPENSIVE!! ”

- “ I stayed in a 6 bed female room. My experience was great except for the nite before the Boston marathon. I was already in bed at 10:45pm and had turned out the overhead lites. I was woken up by a group of 5 drunk young girls coming in. At first they didn't realize anyone else was in their room & continued to carry on very loudly with complete disrespect. I let it go until 11:30pm and then asked them to please be quiet and turn off the overhead lights. They went out & came back at 4:30 am drunken ”

- “ This was my first time staying in a hostel and it was great. Everything was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and it had great amenities. The little cubby hole that's next to each bed was perfect for charging my phone and using it as an alarm. The free breakfast was decent. The hostel was also just a block away from the Tufts Medical Center station on the T so it was easy to go other places. ”

- “ I felt comfortable just the moment I walked thru the door. Rooms were very nice. The only problem was that the heating in the room was very loud and working well, meaning it was weigh too hot. temperature could only be regulated by facility management. Breakfast is included, it was alright. ”

- “ Fantastic hostel in a very useful location, I'd recommend people use the Tufts Medical School 'T' station, which is easy to find and located very close to the hostel. The staff were extremely friendly. The hostel runs daily activities such as museum tours, pub crawls, quizzes, which are great to meet new people. The breakfast provided was wonderful, rooms were very clean. I would highly recommend it to friends. ”

- “ My experience in Hostel was excellent. I never expected it was such a confortable place to live, since the cost was relative lower than other places. The atmosphere was so nice for young people to live, and it is easier for you to find peers to travel together. ”
