The Fenway Hostel

Very clean, yet extremely sterile environment, with zero 'vibe'. Reception only open 2 hrs/day 3-5pm. Cold wait outside, no seating. No check in after 5pm. Kitchen is outside in the open elements. Only 3 burners & 2 fry pans for entire hostel- the wait is long! No common area, apart from a couple chairs in the reception. A crammed & small environment. Free breakfast. Shower did not have hot water or took a long time to get hot. Owner was friendly enough, & had good intentions. Lots of potential.

Positive point: a very clean, quiet and peaceful hostel, with well-appointed and spacious rooms Negative points: the kitchen is outside and very, very poorly organised; on the floor where I was staying, there were only two bathrooms (each with a shower and a toilet), which easily led to queues outside the bathrooms; the hostel isn’t really located near many points of interest.
