I stayed at both the Farrington Inn and the HI Downtown Boston. The Farrington is in a quieter, more secluded location between Boston Univ. and Boston College. The rooms are clean, but the beds are older and tend to sag. The good thing is that generally there are only three beds per room, so it's quieter and less crowded than the HI Boston.

It is ok for one night if nothing else is free, but not more!

Very old. Desperate for upgrading. Bad smell in the room (and there was a rat in the room on my final night there!)

The hostel is a wood house.Everything in the hostel is old,even the door of your room(That is why I think the security is not good). I booked a private twin bed room.There is a TV in my room.Besides,the air in my room is not good.It feel no air flow in my room,even I open my window and door.
