Notice to anyone who is considering making reservations at Prescott House in Everett, MA. This facility is NOT located in downtown Boston. It is at 36 Church Street in the suburb of Everett, MA. Please do NOT go to the same street address in Boston proper as it is a private home.

I stayed 2 nights with my friends in this hostel and I have to say I hardly found a worst hostel that The Prescott International Hostel.
The description on most of booking website let you think you are going to stay in a nice old place and it could be true if...the hostel was not composed of two buildings!!!
The first one is a really nice old place but we just stay there 20min...to paid the invoice!!! They drove us then in the second building, a former hospital which is far less welcoming than the first building. However, we didn't stay there for a busy weekend...
The room was disgusting (bugs and old forgotten clothes in closets,...), the bathroom in the room smelled horribly, toilets was out of order (we nearly flooded the room the first time we flushed) and bathrooms in the corridors are not more welcoming... White sheets and blankets were yellow and dirty (I truly think using a bit of bleach is not a lux for an hostel...).
The location is a nightmare: a 15min ride by bus to go to the nearest subway station and them 15min ride to go to downtown.
Honestly, 45$US for a such stay is not more that a robbery (I stayed in a cheaper, cleaner and best-located hostel in NYC!!!)
If the other hostel are full, take a real hotel instead of staying at that place: it will be more expansive but you will know what you are paying for!!!

Booked a 4 Bed Female Dorm (ensuite Bathroom) through hostels but when i checked in, they said no beds available in 4 Bed Female Dorm & put me in a 6 Bed Female Dorm instead. The reason was the hostel was full, but I don't think it's a valid reason when I made a booking online in advance. Also the rooms were messy, beds were old. There are no ladders for you to climb up to upper deck of bunker beds. Squeaking noises from the bed when you toss your body. No lockers to store yr belongings. Not much storage space. Toilet was the only thing which was accetptable. They advertise their free shuttle pick-up but they charge $1 to ferry you to the train station as well. That is an hourly service only. Location is too out of the way in my opinion. It's in Everett, like an industrial zone.
