Reviews for Hotel AKA Back Bay

Great boutique hotel discovery....

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 11 hours ago

First time staying here and we'll definitely be back. We stayed for 3 nights/4 days and had a memorable stay. Rooms are impeccable, spacious and very comfortable and the hotel has this great boutique feeling. Staff is very friendly and the location absolutely ideal!

Would not return, poor design choices

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

I would not stay here again for several reasons, all related to basic comfort. The beds are double (full) size, which is inadequate for a family. Worse, the windows are poorly designed and let in a LOT of street noise. We were on the top floor and were woken up by street noise several times each night. We have stayed in NY many times and have never been in a hotel this loud, despite that being a much noisier city. Finally, the window coverings are essentially sheers that only very partially block light. There is no opaque window covering on the windows, which means that lights in nearby buildings and from ambient city lights shine into your room. The location is convenient but for $500+ per night, you can do better.

Great location!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

This hotel has a very modern feel and is in a great location for touring the city of Boston! We were able to take a short walk or quick Uber ride to anything we wanted to get to during our 2-day stay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating for anything we needed.

Boston’s best hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Greatest Hotel you’ve never heard of. The place was clean, smart and aesthetically, pleasing and design. The people were friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The rooms were spectacular and the bathrooms were even better. If you’re looking for a luxury type of hotel setting, this is the one.

Wonderful stay in Back Bay!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Stayed one night and couldn’t have been happier with my stay. All of the employees were very friendly and cared about me having a comfortable stay and wonderful service. The entire hotel was immaculate and the fragrance in the lobby is amazing! I was even told where I could buy it for use at home by the manager! Location is excellent! Would absolutely stay again.
