+The central location downtown
−The doors slamming every night. The sirens outside. The young kids being loud in the halls. The bed was broken and saggy.

“Private rooms are decent for a night's stay near the theater district”
+The room (a private, hotel style) was a good, safe stay for a solo traveler staying right near local theaters. Close to South Station as well. When an issue came up, it was seemingly quickly resolved.
−My room was double booked with other guests, something we only discovered ourselves when they were able to unlock and walk into my room. The floor manager then tried to imply it was my fault (he misread my check out date as my check in) and that I needed to leave (after I already paid, on a busy Saturday evening, as a solo young female traveler). I presented evidence that there was no error on my part, and while it seems the issue was quickly resolved, I was never informed. I only learned after asking at the front desk while needing to get a new room card (as mine had been rendered ineffective without telling me). The room I originally booked was also supposed to be accessible, and this room wasn't. The upper shower walls also had a fair amount of mold.

“A nice place for a short stay when you travel alone.”
+The location is great! Pricing is great when you travel alone. Bathrooms are clean, towels were provided.
−The mattress was a bit too hard. Snoring neighbours may be an issue.

“Far Below Our Expectations”
+location
−Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. The room was not clean, and the bed sheets also appeared dirty. The biggest issue was the air conditioning, which constantly blew cold air. We informed the staff several times that we were cold and asked them to adjust it, but instead they simply provided us with two blankets that were covered with hair and lint, which was unacceptable. Another frustrating experience was the luggage policy. When we arrived early, the hotel kindly allowed us to leave our luggage before check-in. However, when we checked out, we were charged $5 per bag to store our luggage for a short period. Charging guests for luggage storage after checkout, especially when the service was free before check-in, felt unreasonable and disappointing. Overall, the cleanliness standards and customer service did not meet our expectations, and we would not choose to stay here again.

+Great ratio of price for what you get. Great stuff. Many activities are organized by the hostel.
−Terrible repetitive noise was coming from the water pipes in the room. Missing curtains on windows. Lack of vacant bathrooms in the morning.

“Excelente localização e quartos confortáveis”
+A localização é muito boa. Os quartos possuem armários grandes para guardar as malas. Eles também permitem que você fique pelo hostel até o momento do check-in, o que é ótimo.
−Os chuveiros esquentam, mas acho que poderiam ser mais quentes.

“Happy Halloween!!!”
+La amabilidad del personal y la predisposición al hablar diferente idioma, los baños limpios y amplios, la habitación un poco estrecho pero se adapta a la medida. Agradezco la amabilidad de los huéspedes y excelente ambiente.
−Podría poner una barra con algo para desayuno, no pido algo grande, pero un café, un té, y algo para acompañar, etc. Gracias.

+Les salles de bains sont très propres, privatives, et on attend quasi jamais son tour pour une salle de bain. Les chambres restent assez grandes + espace perso grâce au rideau Il y a toujours des événements organisés que ça soit pour rencontrer du monde, en apprendre plus sur Boston, faire des visites guidées etc. (et merci à Tommy et Brittany qui sont géniaux!)
−Rien :)
