I was not sure what to expect, but if you just need an affordable place to sleep, this is a great option. It was clean and conveniently located right by North Station, and for the most part others in my room were respectful and quiet.

Great staff. The guy at the front was great. I only needed it for some shut eye because I had a major issue with an Airbnb prior to booking. It was a same booking and great for catching some shut eye quickly. He turned my crappy day around with his hospitality and niceness

This was mu first time staying at a hostel, and I really liked the Meco. Everything went smoothly, the desk attendant was friendly and helpful. The environment seemed very safe and the other guests were all polite and quiet during evening hours. I had no problems finding bathroom/shower available each morning. The 'pod' format worked well and everything was well maintained and clean. Saved a lot of money compared to the usual hotels and will def stay here again when in Boston!

I enjoyed my stay here! First day took some adjusting due to the difficulty in accessing the locker beneath the pod, but got used to it. I like that the place is quiet and introvert-friendly. Air conditioning is good, adjustable if needed. I liked how clean it was, enjoyed the free pastries in the morning, and hanging out in my pod! There is a T station nearby and plenty walkable food spots. Staff is very nice as well and my 10 roommates were great.
