Boston hostels for less than 25 dollars

Boston is full of history and universities, but for whatever reason you are visiting, there are places to stay on a budget.

While Boston does not have the cheapest places to stay (only two regularly under 25 dollars) so I am listing a couple more that cost up to 30 or so  dollars. These are the "main four" budget places and these are the hostels that everyone ends up at.
