    Good value for money. Consider a bathroomless unit, as the end-of-hall bathrooms are nice

    While I appreciate the industrial look, the shower in my unit had absolutely no way of containing water, and the floor wasn't quite sloped enough to prevent water from covering half the bathroom while running. Thankfully it didn't spill out of the (elevated) bathroom down onto the rest of the room.

    Mostly the bed. It was short, and it wasn't very steady. It moved and squeaked badly with every move. It was a little hard to sleep in it.

    Great price, the room was nice and clean, and had some useful amenities. Also, it wasn't too far from the subway, and one could walk to the center if the weather is nice (and of course, if that person is fine with walking 30 minutes).

    The rooms are very small, and not enough storage in the bathroom or in the room. I didn't have a chair in my room, and the bed is on a platform which is ok but you had to climb across the bed to pull the window blinds down. Just a bit too tight on space I think.

    Location was excellent, just outside of the busy main road but within easy walking distance. Very nice residential area, felt very safe.

    They were supposed to provide a robe but they didn't; it would have made my experience better considering that bathrooms were shared and outside the room. The gym was very basic.

    Excellent location between South End and Back Bay, vey comfortable bed. Great atmosphere in general.

    Limited breakfast choices, we went in town to Tatte. Parking was couple of blocks away but affordable.

    The beds were good. The 4 kids liked the bunk beds with curtains. We preferred the private bathroom of course. Bustling Mexican restaurant next door is great! Location is very walkable to the city, yet close to highways.

    There is no bathroom in the rooms. Shared washroom facilities were inconvenient in the middle of the night. The beds were extra high off the floor. They need to provide a step stool so you can get into the bed. Small room with no amenities. Overnight parking cost $38.

    Comfortable bed with clean sheets. Good pillows. Room and bathrooms were very clean. Unique interior design. Parking garage was very close.

    Bathroom across the hall could be a bit of a pain, but the bathroom itself very clean and newly refurbished.

    Very nice hotel in Boston’s South End/Back Bay. Modern decor. Very comfortable room with large bed and flat screen TV. Good location close to Back Bay T station. Allowed me to check in early. Good value for money in an expensive city.

    The size of the room was too small to even move around in the room - claustrophobic . Not even a scope for a coffee 24/7. Too expensive for the facilities offered .

    The rings going up to the loft bed were round and hurt to use in barefeet. Should have option to get hot water somehow- in lobby or at floor water/ice station.

    The beds were comfy. LOVED the shared bathroom. Brought price down but was super clean and convenient.

    Great, with some minor improvements it could become even better.

    • Triple Room Bathroom down the Hall

    The room was a bit small, given that we had actually booked a room for three people despite being only two. There is no real space to store the luggage in the room. Furthermore, the showers (in the communal bathroom space) could use some sort of water-block because even with regular shower usage, the tiled floor in front of the shower could become really wet and slippery.

    The "bathroom down the hall" aspect of the room was initially quite a questionable move, but the hotel staff kept it very tidy and clean! Thus it is certainly a good option for travelers looking to save some money. The hotel is very well located, and its easy walking (if you're not restricted in your mobility) to the downtown area. If you don't have any breakfast included in your stay, there is a coffee shop in the lobby to grab your morning coffee (a little pricy though). However the sandwich shop across the street ("Billy's Sub Shop") is amazing, and great value for money!

    Colonial vibe was weird--didn't like the pro-settler artwork. Bathrooms down the hall were not ideal but work ok and were pretty clean, regularly. Expensive for what you're getting. Room was very small. No parking on site. Only two bikes for borrow.

    Clean, great location. Nice to have bikes to rent (but one had a seat that was not adjustable). Gym was nice but would be nice to have a sauna too. We may stay again in the future but didn't love it.

    A stylish and stylish hotel minutes from the city center. The price was a bit higher but that’s the norm in Boston. Shared bathrooms were clean and easy to access. They gave me permission to check in 2 hours earlier than the "normal" time.
