    • It's well located in the heart of Boston near a T station with trains that go to the airport station.
    • Price
    • Location and convenience

    Cons -

    • The bed didn't have a topsheet, just a blanket. The price was pretty high for just a bed.
    • Hard to find - walked up and down the street for 1/2 hr looking for it. Sign is only very small white lettering on the window (about 18 in x 20 in.) and placed around knee height from the ground.
    • It was not a hotel room. It's a pod, a bed only in a dormitory room with shared bath. The price is too high for what it is. Should be more affordable.

    It?s in a focal point

    The lights in my bed were not working.

    10LureanePosted on: 9-29-2024

    The attention to detail and communication was excellent.

    8PratoPosted on: 2-22-2026

    It’s comfortable and super clean. Beds are properly separated so you can have your privacy during sleep. Bathroom cleaned!! The guy at the check-in was super helpful, friendly and he helped me changing my bed and room randomly during the night, because I needed it. I was glad he could help me and so fast. Really!

    I had the necessity to change room because I didn’t feel safe because of a woman I didn’t trust. But wasn’t property’s fault.

    This property is clean… up to date. The location is great. They have all female rooms which is a plus for solo travelers. They allow us to leave our luggage while we wait for the room etc. they offer tea and coffee in the morning.

    I paid $155 for the night and got a bed that did not meet my needs. I asked for a change and the front desk gave me two options that did not meet my expectations taking in to consideration what I paid. There was defective bed available and I took it because I had no good options. I honestly did not feel they cared. I am not sure if it’s Boston culture but front desk person in the morning did not seem open and friendly. We are tourists and not from Boston so a bit more warmth would feel like they want us there paying for their services. It is also a hostel with curtains so expect noise etc.

    I liked the privacy of the beds, the comfort and cleanliness. The beds were spacious and accommodating. I would be willing to stay there another time if needed.

    What I did not like was after paying for the Meco through your services, they attempted to charge me an ADDITIONAL $150 for insurance. There was nothing on the website about because, as nice as the room and bed were; no hostel is worth $250! PLEASE!

    8MakennaPosted on: 1-15-2026

    Easy check in/out process! Loved the screen on the bed.

    Bed not super comfortable, they only provide one blanket.

    8KazukiPosted on: 11-29-2025

    We can have breakfast and coffee without money

    We can’t have any amenities such as the toothbrush and toothpaste except towels

    10JoelPosted on: 11-17-2025

    I had every detail that I needed in my bed. Clean of the bathroom.

    Under the bed, on the cabinet, there is a need to be cleaner, too much dust, and the bed is very hard. Add some memory foam.

    9AleebaanPosted on: 11-16-2025

    This was unexpectedly great! The hostel rooms were large but they have managed to keep everyone secluded thanks to the great pods with plenty of room for things, to charge and also control the overhead fan. Actually slept well which is rare in large shared rooms. They also have a tiny free coffee/biscuit in the common area during breakfast hours. The location is perfect.

    The only culprit would be starting the breakfast at 7:30, I'd much prefer 7 for those of us looking to explore the city :)

    8JulianPosted on: 11-14-2025

    The beds were very comfortable and the bunk you were in felt very private. Free towels and excellent showering facilities was a huge plus.

    The open lounge area was closed when I was there.

    8AinarsPosted on: 11-9-2025

    Simple, straight forward, gave a locker, calm and quiet.

    To close/lock the luggage storage I had to crawl deeper than I would have liked ,but that is a very minor thing.In the morning there was no water in the common area, but it was really early.

    5BrucePosted on: 11-5-2025

    Location to venue and train station. It was quiet.

    I was sold a pod that was supposed to be in a 6 guest occupancy,but ended up in a room with more. The bathroom was pretty beat up, needed some repairs.

    2ToddPosted on: 11-1-2025

    The location. Everything else was abysmal

    It was tiny and extremely hot and loud. There was not proper stairs for the top bunk.

    9KentPosted on: 10-31-2025

    As far as pod hostels go, this is a good one! Compared to everything else in the city centre, it’s both affordable whilst also giving you a sense of privacy, even if it’s just a blind you pull down.

    The shared bathrooms are what you’d expect - not exactly pristine!

    8MariuszPosted on: 10-30-2025

    Good location and price

    It’s a capsule room, but the price and quality were great.

    8BarryPosted on: 10-29-2025

    Clean and near

    Boston is expensive place

    10NorahPosted on: 10-27-2025

    Loved the early check-in option! I was unsure about booking a pod at first, but it turned out to be a great choice. The space was safe, comfortable, and close to major attractions if you enjoy walking. I’d absolutely stay here again!

    The only downside was the breakfast. I wish there were at least bagels or croissants, but it didn’t bother me much since I preferred eating out at local cafés. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay
