when i arrived after 12 noon to check in i was told check in wasn't until after 2pm because housekeeping was busy with the rooms. i left on foot and returned after 2pm and was told check in was not until 4pm. i had to make a stink in order to be checked in. unfortunatly i witnessed other travelers(with out... more

me and my friend stayed at this hostel just right before 1 week ago. we've been to Boston while the weekend. but it was not that easy to find a good accomodation because Boston's hotel price was quite expensive. but we were both student, so we decided to stay at the hostel. but we didn't want to stay at the... more

Good location - very close to the Kenmore T station so it was convenient to get in and out of the centre. If you're looking to watch the Red Sox play during your stay, this is a great place to stay! We got back fairly late a few times during the stay, but felt pretty safe on the walk from... more

The location is great; steps to the subway, Kenmore Square,Fenway Park. A pleasant walk to Newbury Street shops. The staff are cheerful and helpful.

But the staff is... more

Above post is probably from when it was still a HOJOs-- Boston Universityrecently turned this into a dorm for the school year, and it's a hostel during the summer so I am sure conditions have improved. Probably pretty basic- it is a dorm!- but a great location for visitors on a budget! more

I went there in 2001 - it is really more of a motel than a hotel. The whole place was totally uninviting, rooms and decor was dark and dingy, gloomy, so was the reception area. There was a swimming pool area which looked like a deserted local authority outdoor swimming pool. no frills. I darent attempt the food. I saw... more
