It was well worth the money. more on Yahoo! Travel

We asked for a room for 3 people and were quoted a price of $85 for a night's stay which we agreed to. more on TravelPost.com

This place claims to be an ok place for budget travelers, but I have Never seen such an appalling hostel in any country. more on MyTravelGuide

It was clean, the fridge worked (a bit frosty in the freezer-but it held our ice cream...), the window air conditioner worked (although a resident-yes there are people who live in the rooms-told us they'd only been installed in early July), the sheets were totally clean and while the bathrooms were nothing luxurious they were cleaned daily (I saw the staff doing this each morning). more on Yahoo! Travel

And the $25 is so cheap, why do you waste your time on just $25! more on TravelPost.com

The room was really filthy and stinky. Sometimes the towel smell humid basement yeaky smell. The fridge never worked. The window screen was riped apart. There was a hooker using the back stairs of the hotel doing her business 24-7. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Expecting the worst after reading this page we actually had a nice surprise staying in this hostel.

I live down the street from The Farrington. Local prostitutes rent out rooms by the hour to consumate their transactions. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Location: seemed decent, fairly safe. Nothing fancy, typical college area with lots of little restaurants and shops. It was an interesting, nice walk to downtown from here, but fairly far (over an hou ... more on TripAdvisor

Only thing I can tell you is that I left a bottle of bed bug spray under sink in room 102. Good luck. more on TripAdvisor

We had mice in our room, that woke us up in the middle of the night. Despite the fact that we were moved to another room, the hostel's staff member was annoyed ... more on TripAdvisor

Everything in Boston was expensive but I thought the farrington was fine. Nice hotel porch to sit on in the evening, clean room, got upgraded to one with its own bathroom, and the staff was pleasant. ... more on TripAdvisor

We stayed here over July 4th weekend so there wasn't much available. The manager emailed us to emphasise this is budget accommodation. As we were at the end of a RTW trip we had been mostly staying in ... more on TripAdvisor

I was put in the second building on the third floor, this was hard to get my bag there because the building is old with small halls. My roommate was a psycho and the whole place smells and ... more on MyTravelGuide

The worst hotel experience in my whole life! I never believed that an hotel could be as disgusting as this hotel was. It is unbelievable. Wood around the bathroom windows got rotten for a while; Accumulation of inches of dust on ... more on MyTravelGuide

Absolutely disgusting. In terms of budget travel, your medical bills for bug bites and pink eye will not make this place worth your time. It smelled, they disregarded my reservation and placed me in a men's room (I am a 25 year old ... more on MyTravelGuide
