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

    • Triple Room Bathroom down the Hall
    • Stayed 3 nights

    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!

    The hotel was very affordable and clean. However, you should be aware that there is no in-unit bathroom.

    Good location, weird pro-settler colonial vibe.

    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.

    Not that I did not like, but I wish there was an electric kettle.

    The bathrooms are really clean. The location is perfect, it is close to many attractions and there are other beautiful places around it. The staff is very friendly.

    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.

    The wetroom-style shower meant that the entire bathroom was soaked for the whole of our stay!

    The room was ready early so we were able to access it as soon as we arrived, which was a bonus. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It's a lovely location to explore, and easy to access downtown on foot. The room itself was clean and tidy with good storage space.

    Had to wait until 8am for the coffee bar to open. Lol But there is a 7/11 across the street.

    Very pretty hotel in a great location. Lots of comfortable places to relax. The room was very small, but Boston keeps you out and about. Lots of restaurants in the area.

    My room was a studio on the first floor and so it was a little noisy from the street. Otherwise it was all good.

    The location was pretty good, not too far of a walk from the Back Bay area. The staff were wonderful with check in and out process. The vibe of the hotel was great. And the restaurant next door was really good.

    Contrary to what was advertised you can't get a free bike unless it is summer time. Cost too much for such a simple room.

    Clean, with the possibility to bring fresh water to dring in your room from a fountain on each floor. Good system of bag and robe to go to the floor bathroom. Close to a lot of places including one important train station.

    Really nice hotel in the Back Bay close to everything in Downtown Boston. I liked my room. Very confortable with nice large king size bed. The room was small but that‘s fine for Boston. I had a room with bathroom down the hall. There are a lot of clean private bathrooms down the hall. Not having a bathroom in the room did not really bother me as much as I thought. Price was very reasonable for Boston. I will certainly come again next time I will be in Boston
