Top Boston Hotel Reviews

Hotel Commonwealth

8/10 Good

"So close to Fenway!"

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Easy to walk to restaurants and local attractions. Clean, modern and quiet."

Seaport Hotel Boston

8/10 Good

"Rooms are nicely designed and spacious. We had SEVERAL lights in our room that DID NOT WORK. The lights around the main mirror in entry (we were getting ready for a wedding so it would really been nice to have that light as that area of the room was entirely dark and we could not see our attire when we aere getting ready) - light inside the coffee machine cupboard was not working- light in bathroom by make-up mirror not working."

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was a joke…but coffee and tea okay. Otherwise, prepackaged junky muffins and sweet roll. Room pretty good. Common area shabby but sigs saying they are renovating. Great location!"

The Dagny Boston

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in a great location to walk to the Quincy Market area. It is not far from the cruise port or the airport if you use Uber. It is a very clean hotel with an exceptional and helpful staff. Although it has a restaurant and cafe , we didn’t eat there due to our departure time, but it is convenient to have one close."

Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

8/10 Good

"Overall, I really enjoyed my stay! The staff were super helpful and friendly. One thing I really liked was the guest closet. It had little extras like shower caps, mini sewing kits, razors, and shaving cream, which I thought was a nice touch. They also had a water bottle filling station where you could grab an empty bottle and fill it with filtered water. I’ve honestly never seen that at a hotel before, and I used it my entire stay! The only downside for me was the bathroom. I had a stand-up shower, and the bathroom was pretty small and tight. It wasn’t a big enough issue for me to change rooms, though. If you’re a light sleeper, just be aware that you may hear toilets flushing from the floor above. I stayed on the 7th floor, and I could hear it occasionally. Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely stay here again!"

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient for parents who come in from out of town to help with another September 1st move in day."

What is a historic hotel like in Boston?

These are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.
