Attended a 3 day conference for doctors, and the hostel provided an awesome (read: affordable) place to stay. It's a converted old Boston University dorm, and the rooms are old, but they're NOT dirty, and the rest of the provisions (sheets, blanket, towels) are standard fare for hostels, which is to say they're fine so long as you can live without silk and extreme fluffiness. The proximity (as others have written, 5 min or less) to the Kenmore T station is great (gets you anywhere you wanna go), and it's not that far to walk to Boylston St and a lot of the active street life in the city. I was fortunate, too, that my floor was quiet on the 3 nights I stayed.
I had no problems w/ checking in (arrived at 3PM) or out. Other than that, I didn't deal much w/ service (trash was emptied once out of 2 full days; window unit AC didn't work great, but didn't need it). I know that for a private room with a private bathroom, I paid the LESS than several of the nearby hotels charged for 1 night, and I slept just fine. It's too bad the Red Sox were away during my stay (as others have written, it's definitely walkable to Fenway Park), but that might be a reason to return some day.
