Hostels

Found Boston Common – $28: This historic building has been transformed into an incredibly clean and convenient place to rest after a long day in Boston. It has the basics you’ll need – towels, WiFi, warm showers, and cold AC – but the rest you’ll need to make sure you bring for yourself.

HI Boston – $34: The highest reviewed of the hostels on this list, HI sits in the middle of Chinatown which means almost anything in Downtown Boston is a 10-15 minute walk. Breakfast, linens, towels, and WiFi are standard but one even better plus? Each bed has a secure lockbox for any personal items you want to keep extra safe while out and about. Chances are if your search looked something like “where to stay in Boston cheap” then HI was probably on the top of the list.

Boston Fenway Inn – $33: Just a fast ride from Boston Logan Airport and very cozy and bigger than average rooms means this hostel feels more like a bed and breakfast (and breakfast is even included!). Sheets, towels, and linens are provided and there’s even space for you to park your bike if that’s your chosen method of transportation!

Hotels

The Revolution Hotel – $74: Modern and quirky, The Revolution will feel like home for artsy and creative travelers. Rooms range from dorm-style with shared bathrooms to more luxurious suites, so you’ll find everyone from who’s in town for a meeting to in town for they-don’t-know-how-long lounging in the colorful common spaces. The best part? The perfect location for walkers!

DoubleTree by Hilton Boston Bayside – $77: The least central of all of the opinions on the list, what DoubleTree lacks in location it makes up for in-room size and amenities. Free airport shuttle, bar, WiFi, and spacious rooms make this a good place to stay if you have an early flight out of Logan or want a less hustle-and-bustle place to unwind at the end of your day.

The Constitution Inn – $92: Good for longer stays, The Constitution Inn has rooms appointed with kitchenettes, conference spaces, and a well-appointed fitness center (pool included!). You’ll probably expect this hotel to be full of business travelers, and while that’s true, what you might not expect is its beautiful location just steps from Boston’s waterfront, bars and restaurants, and historic sites.

Short Term Rentals

Sonder 2BR – 90: In the heart of Brookline, this well-appointed two-bedroom apartment comes with a full range of amenities including a full kitchen, balcony, laundry facilities, gym, and free WiFi. This is the most spacious option on the list and is ideal for larger groups. If excess bags are a bother, look up Vertoe Boston and all your baggage problems will be solved. Bonus? Self-check-in and check out with 24/7 access! Month-long stays also welcome and often come with exclusive deals and a lower price.
