I'm from New Orleans I love the city of Boston Every time I visit it's always Hi Boston hostel. Perfect location to get around. Very friendly staff very clean. You can buy your food cook and store also. I would recommend. See you in a few months.

The hostel was very clean, the staff engaging, shops and restaurants steps away. Parking at a discount in a nearby garage that was very safe and easy in and out. Very comfortable stay.
