The place overbooked the room wasn't as pictured. They did refund me because of the overbooking. We were put around the bar.

Super budget friendly hostel that provides breakfast and coffee in the morning. Front desk is super helpful and let me extend my stay on short notice.

The Rooms are clean and smell nice. We got sheets when we checked in, but no towel or even hand towels for the bathroom. If I had seen the place before, I would probably booked one night instead of two. There is a great pizza place just down the street, Main Pizza! It has made the stay MUCH more enjoyable!

Incredible experience!!! The negative reviews on this business are ABSOLUTELY wrong. I’ve stayed in hostels from New York to New Delhi and this is, hands down, one of the best I’ve ever seen. After staying here I’m convinced the sub-par reviews are generated from people that never actually visited this hostel, I don’t see any other explanation. Easily the nicest, most accommodating people I’ve stayed with in years, everything is clean, and incredibly interesting wall art—especially if you’re a Beatles fan! I can’t recommend this place enough, I won’t stay anywhere else next time I’m in Boston.

During my visit to Boston for a conference, I chose to stay at Backpackers Hostel in Everett, Massachusetts. Its excellent proximity to transportation services made it easy for me to travel to the inner city of Boston and other distant locations. The rooms and toilet facilities were clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and pleasant environment. The internet was consistently strong and reliable, allowing me to stay connected throughout my stay. Breakfast was provided, although it differed from the traditional breakfast one might have at home. For any additional or special services, guests could request them at an extra cost.
The staff at Backpackers Hostel were exceptionally friendly and courteous. On my last day, I found myself in a stressful situation—just 40 minutes away from missing my flight back to Germany. I lacked a U.S. phone number to book a taxi or Uber, but Michelle, a staff member, went above and beyond to help me. She quickly organized an Uber, ensuring I made it to the airport on time. Her support was invaluable, and I’m deeply grateful for her assistance.
Everett itself is a charming town with a beautiful landscape, adding to the overall experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Backpackers Hostel to any traveler visiting Boston. It offers convenience, comfort, and exceptional service at an affordable price. Whenever I return to Boston, Backpackers will undoubtedly be my place of choice.

A very eclectic atmosphere close to Everette and the T maintenance facility

It's more of long term stay. Nice vibe but I was in a room that the girl set her alarm very early each day. And it kept going off for a good 30 mins. Other woman came in late and turned on lights.

Nice staff, but felt unsafe at times

Nice, but super dead on weekdays in late September so I didn’t meet anyone :(
We booked a private room. It had one double bed, tv, microwave, refrigerator, private bathroom inside the room with tub/shower combo. The room looked recently updated. Everything looked new, freshly painted, clean and a comfortable bed. Was it the Ritz? No, but for under $200 and 10 minutes from the city, it was perfect. All the staff were polite and friendly. I'll definitely stay again next time we need to go to Boston. Tip: Book directly from their website for a better rate than the travel websites, plus all the $ goes directly to the Hotel.

I read a few comments before booking, but this place is fantastic, full of history, fans of John Lennon, simple but warm welcome, the dormitories are well appointed, a shower room and toilets at the interior of the room and outside, really clean this hostel is worth the detour, Boston is really very very expensive, it is worth taking a little bus or metro to get to the city center and return to the quiet, the security is really present, and the price with breakfast is really unbeatable

Simple and comfortable hostel, outside of Boston but with a good location and very affordable for those who don't want to stay for many days. Breakfast is included, but it's just toast, jam, peanut butter, butter and coffee (delicious though). Attentive and kind staff. The only locker in the room is really small (it didn't fit my backpack).
Walkability: Walkable to downtown Boston and also to Logan Airport (about 1 hour walk)

I stayed there for two nights and it was a good experience. The rooms are nice, with a great bathroom and kitchenette. To make things better the staff is incredible - joyful, helpful and caring.
