The overall place is okay for the budget friendly price. Could have cleaner bathrooms cant complain since a lot of people uses them. All the people (staff and residents) are super friendly and welcoming. Had a great experience meeting people from different places and with the place in general.

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.
