XV Beacon

Lovely hotel with lots of character. Hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. The room is spacious although a walk in shower would be preferred. The back of the hotel is noisy, there is some sort of machinery which drones on all night, with jet lag this is not great.

The best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I have been to many large hotels and countries and The Beacon XV comes first. This is a smaller boutique hotel. All the staff are polite and helpful. There is a restaurant attached called Mooo. Very good. So how does this hotel excel? I stayed in their basic room and the room was large. There is a gorgeous gas fireplace. The attention to detail is superb. I left some of my phone chargers out and when I can back they had tied the cables and tidied the area. Amazing! I had an aromatherapy shower steamer each morning and they were so good, I’ve bought some for my home. Oh and the shower has a seat, this was perfect for me due to back issues. The shower is amazing! Each night my slippers were laid out for me and the items I left on the side in the bathroom, when I returned to my room were under linen and neatly organised. Honestly, I have never stayed in such a perfect hotel. Oh and their courtesy car. We used it 4 times. They will drop you anywhere within a 2 mile radius. If you are in Boston, stay here. I will when I return. Thank you to all the staff at the hotel.

This hotel has the most helpful staff we have ever experienced. Nothing was too much trouble. From check in to the concierge booking restaurants for us to the drivers taking us to piers and restaurants it was all wonderful service. The room was great too and the position is ideal for the sights of Boston.

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights finishing up our Maine and Boston tour. I will have to say the location is great. You can walk to almost anything or worse case a short Uber ride. Nice boutique hotel. Customer service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and very helpful. Where things were not good was the room. We were in a junior suite. Lighting was very poor. The furniture was very outdated and very uncomfortable. The light over the coffee bar did not work and I had to use my flashlight on my phone to operate the coffee machine. Clothing and drawer space is very poor. The fireplace did not work when we got there. They got it working and then the day before we left it quit working again. I will have to say the bed was comfortable, the a/c worked very well, and the shower volume was awesome. All of that being said, the property definitely needs a renovation. For the price you are paying, I expect a higher level of accommodations. However, we did enjoy our stay. Again I have to say the staff was amazing and very accommodating.

Great location in central Boston, Freedom Trail on your doorstep, great Irish pub across the road! Good service from all the staff. Our hotel room was a good size and a had good shower in the bathroom. Kept our bags for us while we explored on our last day with no issues, very helpful.
