Great hostel located in China Town in Boston. The common areas are kept very clean. Breakfast was included in the price, which makes this hostel a bargain. The breakfast buffet is fine, has limited but a variety of option.

I am brand new to staying in hostels. It was totally safe and I slept well. I got in late so didn't have a chance to socialize at dinner. I did notice though that this is a very big hostel - I think? So it's less intimate.

I was pleased, given this is a hostel, at how gloriously comfortable the bunk bed was, with quality linen, that allowed me to relax and sleep well, despite sharing the room with five others! I appreciated my roommates' consideration around being quiet and thoughtful.
