The hostel is a bit far away from Boston center. The area is not really good. The rooms are big but the hostel is crapy (e.g. some holes in the sheets, only one shower for 10 rooms, walls cracking and definitely need to be refreshed...) but it was as clean as it possibly could be. No common room. The staff was nice and helpfull. If you are a couple and you want intimacy and a cheap room, that's ok. For the others, forget it.

The staff were extremely helpful in everything I asked and the rooms were clean and fit for purpose. However some hallways did smell quite bad.

The people were extremely nice! And helpful! The only complaint was that it was like, 90 degrees out and all the windows in the room were closed and it was hard to breathe in there! (But there was a fan - Thanks!) Would stay there again. Great location - not far from the T. Could walk to the Paradise.

Great staff, clean rooms and bathrooms. A little out of the city but close to the subway. Several nice bars around the place too if u ignore the 12.00am curfew (don\'t worry its not enforced). Would recommend.

this hostel was safe and convenient to get in and out of town. My room and bathroom was clean. rooms a little stuffy could do with fans. If traveling alone and looking to meet fellow travelers not the best. No communal area.

This hostel doesn't really look like an hostel, more like a hotel without common room, but it's located in a really quiet area. Our room was big and really agreable as we got an upgrade on our room when we checked in. there's just a lack of bathroom but other than that, it's a really nice place to stay.

Affordable accomodation not too far from the center and highways. Interesting area, lots of cheap eateries (asian, even burmese and nepali, latino). Clean and safe enough for anyone who travelled a bit or doesn't expect too much for 30 buck a night.

I needed a clean and safe place to sleep and wash myself without spending too much money. Abercrombie's met all the requirements. Thanks!
