Clean well appointed hostel. We stayed in a private room with an ensuite which was larger than expected, clean and had a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was excellent, the staff helpful and the location. Other than a bit of noise from one of the dorms on our floor on the first night (which stopped when people asked them to keep the noise down) it was surprisingly quiet. Would recommend.

Very Budget Friendly
This hostel is great for solo travelers. There is a $6 fee for locks for the lockers, so feel free to bring or buy your own or buy one of theirs. The first room i had was not a good situation for me, only because it was hot and the room was smelly, but the front desk staff was so accommodating, i didnt even have to sleep in that room. They gave me another bedroom with great A/C, seemed way cleaner, and smelled a lot fresher. The location is a great location. Right in the middle of china town. Super walkable city and only 5 minutes walk from the train. There is not a dedicated parking lot. Parking downtown is expensive, but you really dont need a car staying in the city. Bathrooms were cleaned twice a day and the bed was comfy for the most part. Breakfast was provided everyday, but also some great breakfast spots within walkable distance if you want that option. They have great group activities for anyone who stays there to enjoy the city of Boston and also get people to socialize. They have a full kitchen so you can cook meals if needed. Overall, i would definitely stay again! I highly recommend this place.

Expensive
Hi Boston is a really good hostel in a cool building on the edge of Chinatown. It is however very expensive for what you get - i paid $490 for two night - basic accommodation with all amenities but could have been cleaner.
