Thatch Quarters on Dorchester Street - Hostel in Boston - 80 Dorchester St, USA

Great location with a good bar scene around it and restaurants around it. Right over a very loud bar so not great for those who are light sleepers. Very clean and the people staying in the location also were very respectful and mindful of shared spaces.

I combined business with a very nice 2 day vacation, the property was cozy, but economic & functional... Only 20 minute walk to the convention center, with several great restaurants in the vicinity! I walked around Dorchester bay to close-by JFK library/museum as well as Fort Independence/Castle Island and got a good feel for the "Southie" lifestyle:)

This location was perfect for me. Came from Estes Park, Colorado to visit my Sister. Her Apartment is to small for guests to spend the night. So I needed a Hotel room within walking distance to H Street & Thomas Park, Dorchester Street. Guess what no hotels within walking distance. Thatch Quarters to the rescue. It was perfect. Close to my sister, very comfortable room, comfortable bed, big screen TV, I was able to use my You Tube TV subscription on it. My Bathroom had a big shower, plenty of hot water, great water pressure. Towels, soap, shampoo and plenty of light. Great Pub across the street, Walgreens, Starbucks, Stop & Shop within walking distance. Even went to Mass at Gate of Heavens Church right off of H Street & E. Fifth Street.

Room was as advertised. Clean. Excellent location - close to nice bars and 20 min walk to the convention centre. They were extremely fast to respond to emails and accommodating of leaving luggage behind for a late check out. I would stay again :)

Place is perfect for what it is. Has everything you need. It is shared bathroom but only with one other room. Rooms are small but has TV AC and a comfy bed. Also has desk and Mirror. For the price you cant beat it, great location in southie.

I enjoyed my stay in room 104 as I knew what I was getting into before I got there but… The location is about 17 minutes walk from the BCEC and had plenty of coffee shops and small lunch spots in the area. I will say that the amount of traffic that goes through that small street is surprisingly busy. But I was raised in a big city so it didn’t bother me much. It was a nice neighborhood and not a whole lot of issues navigating the area. People were friendly. The room was nice and warm and pretty comfortable overall. Even so, it was much smaller than I imagined for the price I paid and given it had shared spaces (which for an introvert like me I would never use as to avoid strangers)especially knowing that I had a similar monetary offer at the OMNI with much more space and private bathrooms and kitchenette, it kind of puts a damper on the experience for me. Again I knew it was shared spaces before hand so not a deal killer. The other guest were coming in and out of the building throughout the late evening into 2am in the morning. I was in the front unit literally a foot away from the front door, it was hard to get sleep during the last night due to the guest foot traffic. Another concern I had was the fact that the front door code was the same code to my room, which made me wonder if someone had felt inclined they could test my door and make their way in while I was out. I suggest changing the door codes and keeping log of it for your cleaners as to increase the sense of security for your guest. When I officially checked in around 4:30-5pm there was a used towel left in the shower of the shared bathroom and one on the cap of the toilet. There is also what looked like water damage from a previous leak above the wardrobe of my room. Pretty off putting. Overall I gave it a four out of 5 stars because the communication is some of the best I’ve experienced in any stay, it was relatively close to everything I needed and it had everything I required but I probably wouldn’t do another shared space stay like this for the price I paid.

we had a stock bed and the bed was horrible. both mattresses were extremely used. a very deep hole was in the mattress and it made sleeping almost impossible. as well as the construction of the bed made super annoying noises every time someone moved. after 4 nights my back hurts so bad and i am just looking forward to sleep in my own bed again. also, the ac blows straight into the person sleeping on the lower bed… so a cold is guaranteed.

You get what you pay for. Anyone complaining is just expecting the Ritz Carlton for cheap. It’s everything they said it was going to be. Our room was clean, bathrooms and kitchen were cleaned everyday, fridge was cleaned everyday. I really don’t know what people are complaining about lol. It’s across from a popular bar so it is kinda loud but what do people expect? The negative reviews are actually laughable.
