Boston Homestel

They charged me for accommodation after I canceled and never refunded me after a long email chain are redirecting me and saying to me in person I would be charged.

Worst. I have emailed 2 times in 1 week for the receipt. No reply still also, no response about the $30 security money. I told them I need the receipt for my office still they do not reply. Also, there is no way to reach them, the phone number doesn't work.

I called many times within their office hours to modify my reservation date (only one night). There was never an answer. I ended up staying somewhere else because I was unable to make contact. Emailed them to request a refund and their email is not valid:unable to receive messages. Overall negative experience.

Chambres particulièrement chères. Toutefois, pas très loin d'un métro.

I NEVER CONFIRMED THIS. I CALLED, I EMAILED BEFORE AND AFTER THEY TOOK MY MONEY STATING I DID NOT WANT THIS. THEY TOOK MY MONEY FOR MY FLIGHT BACK HOME AND NEVER RESPONDED TO ME EVEN WHEN I ARRIVED TO FIX THIS IN PERSON! TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SERVICE. IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS I WOULD. DONT EVEN LOOK AT BOOKING HERE.

Tout est sale. Du moisi tout autour de la baignoire. Les robinets en mauvais états, les portes ne ferment pas, une véritable catastrophe. Dans la cuisine il n'y a pas de cuillère encore moins d'éléments pour cuisiner, pas de torchons. Tout est minable et cher pour ce qu'il y reste. Loin de tout, à déconseiller..

Not clean, hair on the bed. Rooms had locks but no lockers for luggage. Not good.

Ni aun que me regalen mi proxima estadia ahi , me quedo!!! Horrible el olor de el cuarto , y pedi que lo limpiaran y no , seguia oliendo mal , a remojado y el piso en general olia mal. Salio una rata en la cosina. Escuchas TODO lo de todos los cuartos, platicas, cuando cierran/abren puertas, las casas son de madera entonces cualquier ruido , gotera se escucha. Pedi que cambiaran mis sabanas porque estaban sucias / seguian manchadas! Son viejas . Lo unico agradable fue el staff!! Muy amables

Don’t get lured by the price. Book other Hotels ahead of time and you can get an even better rate. They turn an old building into a hostel with min renovation. I booked a 4-bed room and I am sleeping just next to others head. No place for your luggage and there’s only one cheap IKEA small table for 4 people. Wall is super thin that you can hear every conversation. 2 out of 3 bathrooms I used doesn’t have a functional door lock. The staff is super rude.

Unfortunately, this is my first poor review of a hostel. The building needs a thorough deep clean & a lot of maintenance. The beds were the worst I've slept in; climbing onto the top bunk creates an earthquake for the person below, not to mention the absolutely HORRIBLE squeaking. It's clear the owner does not care about the paying customer's experience, just making a quick buck! The staff was amazing & made the stay better... but read the other low-star reviews & don't stay here.

I only stayed one night, but it was a pleasant stay overall (I was the only one in the dorm). It lives up to its name, since it's a family home converted into a hostel. It has a kind of cozy vibe, though with some limits like one bathroom per floor. The manager was polite and considerate. It seems to cater to long-term tenants, some were super loud in the hallway with their video calls at 5AM. A big plus for not raising prices during marathon weekend, might be a great budget option for runners.

Affordable, modest hostel in a regular neighborhood. I thought the common areas were cozy but clean and the other guests pleasant and polite. The atmosphere is peaceful and it's located right on a T stop. The one problem we had was a near lockout after a night on the town. We were not emailed the outside code and would have been locked out all night if not for a sleepy guest walking by the door and recognizing us. There was no recourse in the moment- distressing but all's well that ends well.

They have no heater and It was so cold the temperature were between 32 and 38

this hostel is v quaint and quirky. private room and shared bathrooms were clean. our room was on the main floor in a pretty hi traffic area and the walls are thin, so pack your earplugs and ask for an extra blanket for those cold nights. quiet hours were honored mostly, albeit tardy. parking for a daily fee or good luck w street parking. full kitchen available! family friendly! recommended! improvements to consider: fridge management system, dishwasher install.

The place was freezing and there is no heating in the rooms, this was very uncomfortable at night. Unfortunately the amount of people in one tiny room is ridiculous for the amount of money that you have to pay. There isn’t anywhere to put anything and 6 people in a mixed dorm that small was very very smelly. Bedding & towels very old & worn out. The mattresses have seen better days, they make a lot of noise when you sit on them. Only saw a member of staff briefly on check in the fi...

It's a local house made as hostel. clean, quite, cozy and very close the public transport. I totally suggest it!

Nice and close to the train station, but no lockable place for valuables storage, and no curtains or privacy between beds, so as a solo female traveler in a mixed dorm, it felt overly exposed. Very clean and the staff were nice!

super expérience !

Greta hostel, but I would mainly say I only slept there, I would say the facilities are a bit antiquated but cleaning and sanitation were ok. Near a mta station with great connectivity and also near stores like target, tj maxx and others. For me it was ok, ✅

the experience with the permanent staff was very disappointing. There is a woman who seems to be in charge — always wearing headphones — who was extremely rude and unwelcoming throughout the stay. She complained about everything, including the fire alarm going off just because someone used the toaster, which clearly isn’t the guest’s fault. special thanks to the volunteers — they were the bright side of an otherwise disappointing stay.

Great value for money compared to other places in Boston. Basic, comfortable bed, the top bunk is very squeaky but otherwise it was fine!

We enjoyed our stay! Only complaints were that we tried to call with a check-in question and couldn’t get anyone on the line and the water pressure was so weak I could barely take a shower! Decent location in a neighborhood and close to a subway stop.

Old apartment house that's seen better days. Everything (furniture, fixtures) looks a little run down. Pros: - Metro is close - 15 minute ride downtown or to Amtrak - You get a towel - Nice view from large balcony - Entry by code only Cons: - Nothing in the neighborhood - Squeaky bunks - Rooms aren't that well ventilated - Lots of rules posted everywhere and fines for not following them - Staff only present part of the day

Perfect location just off the red line, close to City Center. Easy access with code locks. Excellent value for Boston. Only minor negatives were related to fellow guests being unaware of others waiting for bathrooms or kitchen access, and lack of oven but the positives greatly outweigh these minor inconveniences.

Very amazing communication. I felt safe and they answered all my questions and never acted annoyed. This was my first time to stay at a hostel and they made it the best experience ever. Every floor had their own kitchen and bathrooms and this place was close to local bars and train and uber was only 15 minutes to the heart of Boston and only cost $12 on average. Boston Homestel was amazing. Thank you!

Really handy location and good value

Great for short staying, close to the center, good value for money.

Very cooperative staff; Good location ; nearer to metro (sub ) station. ( However, in the guidelines how to reach, turn "right" is missing , once you come out of metro station. ) No negatives except that the bathrooms are very narrow (congested)

Really welcoming, nice area close to the train station with really nice hosts
