Hotel AKA Boston Common

This was a birthday trip combined w/ a medical appt. We are returning guests and Calvin Cherry made sure this was the most magical birthday ever! Our room was fabulous!!! The views amazing. Calvin took care of making dinner reservations for us. The other hotel staff were very accommodating as well including Nate. We love the fact this hotel is so close to the Park and the happenings in the downtown area. We can literally walk to everything or catch the transit right next door. You can’t go wrong choosing AKA Boston Common.

Staff are really lovely. Location is great, though we couldn't get into the other Aka properly which is why we picked Boston Common. Room was well designed, however some design flaws 1. Whilst the evening ambience lightish is beautiful I strongly suggest a muddle aged person in management try to read in bed, it's too dark. The staff kindly put another lamp & we moved the desk lamp closer to the bed. 2. Blind control not by the bed a little unusual. 3. More importantly no hooks in the bathroom & shelving above the toilet doesn't work especially when there was plenty wall street. There's nowhere to hang or hook your towels or bathrobes. 4. Ameneties in the bathroom, I get it is a 4 star hotel there should at least be cotton face pads. Overall a nice stay

Great hotel right on the Freedom Trail. Very clean and spacious rooms. Staff was friendly and beds were very comfortable. Looks like this is a newer hotel not an older hotel that was refurbished. Rooms are painted a dark color so very dark inside.

Whenever I travel for work, this place is my go-to. I've tried so many other hotels in Boston that are "hit-or-miss", or the reviews have been misleading. However, this place is exactly who they say they are. I'd also like to especially mention their assistant front office manager, Calvin Cherry! Just WOW. The hospitality he and his team showed me upon arrival felt quite like a white glove experience. They didn't fall short of delivering exceptional hospitality service and for that reason, I'll continue to return. Book here, you won't be disappointed.

The staff was absolutely amazing! Every single time we walked into the hotel there were people greeting us with smiles, happy faces and well wishes. They gave us some great recommendations on places to go for breakfast lunch and dinner, and also had a great set up for the Boston Marathon. There are a few people that were extraordinary John, James, Sherry, and of course Calvin. We have two kids, five and seven years old, and they were great with the kids. The bartender Zach was so fun that my seven-year-old boy wanted to make sure to go down and talk to him every single night before we went to bed. Zach obliged with big smiles and also showed him a new Spidey cartoon that now my kids are hooked on. I will definitely be revisiting hotel a.k.a..
