Guest Reviews

• Charlene (7/5): - Convenient location Towels do not dry between showers
• Rajul (10/5): Perfect stay. Will be back again - Very easy access to the train station. Very nice restaurants and bagel place nearby. Close to Harvard and MIT Very clean. Has gym facilities and is very quiet
• James (9/5): Fine place and excellent location. - Great location at Porter Sq across street from Red Line MBTA; walking distance to relatives and nice cafe Nero next door. Also a real window that opens for ventilation. How about that? Can always do without those ridiculous down comforters which you have got to throw off or else turn AC down to arctic temp.Egad.
• Joyi (9/5): -

• Yvonne (8/5): Modern, clean and reasonably priced - Modern, clean hotel right opposite the train station (red line) which takes you straight into downtown Boston. Ideally placed if you're visiting Harvard University. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spotlessly clean. Room had all the basics you need. Room was on the small side which was fine as I was on my own and fine for short stays. The walls are quite thin too. You can hear people in neighbouring rooms very easily.
• KYUNGMO (8/5): -
• Rogelio (9/5): Muy buen hotel, comodo, tranquilo, muy bien ubicado con servicios muy cerca - LA ubicacion es muy buena en la ciudad, al lado de la estacion del metro, la habitacion muy silenciosa, comoda y confortable sin comentarios
• Derek (10/5): Great experience everytime. - Consistency! Stayed here several times over the years and always look forward to coming back Maybe a lower rate when staying 5 plus nights.
• Andy (10/5): It's a great lovely day. It was more affordable the first time and now that I'm looking at it it's too expen - Simple, very clean and very nice staff Would have liked more coffee
• William (8/5): A good solution if you have a reason to be in town. - Clean. Everything worked well. Very convenient for transport. Room could have been bigger.
• Smith (10/5): I had my best birthday in Boston and stayed at the perfect hotel - The location was perfect, train was less than a 45 second walk
• Nataliia (10/5): -
• BELEN (10/5): PERFECTO - Todo muy bien en general Habitación Localización, frente parada metro, lugares donde comer, comprar.... Nos sorprendió gratamente Nada, todo bien No hubiera estado mal una mini nevera En la habitación de nuestros amigos, si había
• Christian (7/5): Gute Anbindung zur Stadt und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe.  - Gute Lage zur U-Bahn und zur Einkaufsmöglichkeiten Mit zwei großen Koffern und einen kleinen Schrank war das Zimmer schon sehr voll.
• Zaccaria (9/5): -
• Karina (10/5): Cozy hip vibe close to restaurants and T - Great location directly across the street from the porter square T line and close to many restaurants/coffee shops. The hotel is decorated in a hip wood paneled style that is very modern and cozy. The place is spotless and very comfortable. The rooms are small in a “just enough space” way. The bump-out windows overlooking the street are fantastic — lots of light and with workable windows, the neighborhood sounds and breeze lightly fill the space. We absolutely loved our stay of 3 nights. We wished that there was a mini-fridge and a small movable table for the chair in the bump-out window space (a place for a laptop and/or beverage).

• Lebron (8/5): - It was cute and perfect for what I was there for, having the smaller queen room available was nice since I was a solo traveler however if there was anyone else with me it would of been a tight fit. The staff was nice and attentive Room service is by request only and you have to do it before a certain time. Valet parking is also extremely expensive when there is parking available nearby. The bathroom in my room had paint chipping in the shower.
• EMILY (10/5): -
• faiez (8/5): - Location 2 min from porter subway station
• Alicia (7/5): Good stay if you don’t plan to spend a lot of time in the room. - Good location - cafe Nero is right there - clean - comfortable bed The room is pretty small.
• CapeCodJack (9/5): Short but enjoyable two-night visit. - Staff was friendly and helpful. Near to many restaurants, bars and cafes. Train station directly across the street. Valet was reasonable @ $28 per night. Nothing.
• Cecille (5/5): I would be hard out to stay in this hotel again. - Proximity to where I needed to be Rooms were awfully small and poorly laid out in terms of inefficient use of small space. Shower stall with flimsy curtain did not shield sink are from water. Tri-cornered sink was so small with no space to put toiletries, except in a shelf above the toilet which was in the opposite end of the sink. Place where you hang your used towels covered the light switch, which show poor planning.
• Andrea (8/5): -
• Robin (10/5): Comfortable, well-priced hotel in convenient Porter Square - Friendly, well-located, cafe next door, nice gym, comfy N/a
• Jennifer (9/5): Loved it and will return when in the area. - New, clean and stylish. Great value. Has a huge gym in lower level. Directly across from red line MBTA entrance and tons of restaurants and shops. Very convenient. Staff was efficient and friendly. Mattress a bit soft/old.

• Nicole (10/5): -
• Teodoro Alberto (9/5): Excelente localiação, conforto e custo x benefício. - Acomodação confortável. Gavetas abaixo da cama que proporcionavam um excelente espaço para guardar roupas/acessórios. Hotel fica em frente à estação de metrô e diversos cafés e restaurantes nas redondezas. O box do banheiro é fechado com uma cortina, o que faz com que após o banho o banheiro fique encharcado. Também faz falta um frigobar.
• Elizabeth (9/5): - Lovely staff, tea and coffee available, great location beside Porter Square T station and Mc Carthys famous Irish music bar and restaurant
• Uthmam (10/5): -
• Sze Bai Brian (8/5): -
• Mathilde (10/5): Perfect - Great service. Everyone was super nice. Perfect stay I wish I stayed longer.
• Laura Carolina (9/5): Muy bien - Que tiene cafetera y cama muy confortable y todo muy limpio Que no puedes controlar el aire acondicionado desde el cuarto. Y que no tiene Netflix.
• Daniel (7/5): I was happy and enjoyed it. - The staff was friendly, the cleaning lady tried to give me a bottle of water on my way out. I did like the air conditioner was very quiet, in other hotels it got very loud. I also liked the booking process allowed me to make special requests and my request for a quiet room was addressed and honoured. Cleaning was by request only but I guess that wasn't a big deal. The sink is in the shower which is weird and the rooms don't have any kind of refrigerator, that's very weird. Also I was given a quiet room on the top floor which was great except I got the room right next to the elevator which was clanging every time someone used it and got quite loud. I would have thought the staff would have known that could happen. I also didn't like the room was so small that the bed took up almost all of it.
• BETHANY (8/5): A perfect location for a Boston getaway. It’s quiet and comfortable without being too over the top. I would absolutely s - It was quiet and tucked away. I actually really liked that they didn’t force housekeeping every day, it was upon request, that was really nice. Staff was really friendly, gym was incredibly nice, room was really cozy. Aesthetic and decor was really beautiful and cohesive through the whole property. The ac was really finicky and it was either too hot or too cold in the room. The hand soap had a really filmy feel on them. I felt like I couldn’t wash it off which was a weird sensation. The shower was really nice, perfect water pressure, but the floor tile was incredibly slippery.
• George (7/5): - Liked the decor, free bottle of water, towels bed. Room was very small, as was bathroom. Also, valet parking was required and was overpriced.
• Yasaman (9/5): -
• Dingliang (8/5): - location, very convenient, close to public transit and different restaurant The printer in business center doesn't work, room is actually quite small (in comparison to the similar price range hotels in similar location), email doesn't work, needs extra procedure so that the hotel can receive my email sent to them
• Loima (10/5): -
