Everybody working at Hotel Boston is as helpful and kind is can possibly be. It is right on the B line, Easy access to the D and many places to eat within walking distance. Nice to stay in a great Boston neighborhood.

This hotel is adequate. If you just need a place to sleep and are not looking for something amazing, you will find it affordable, convenient and reasonable.

Very Disappointing for $300 but I guess that is the rates in Boston. Would have much rather pay $120 and get a decent hotel

We had a great stay at the Hotel Boston! This place is a fantastic deal - it is just steps away from the T's Green Line, and one block away from some wonderful restaurants (we loved La Catrina) as well as Whole Foods. It is in a quiet, residential area, and the parking is quite convenient. The rooms are clean and come with everything you could need including a kitchenette. The luxury shampoo, lotion, and soap provided in the room (products from upstate NY) were also a great touch. They always had ice water, tea, and coffee in the lobby. And the staff were extra friendly and accommodating. This place is a wonderful find and we will be back!

We stayed 3 nights we change two rooms because of many problems on the first one.we did have issues with the second room also and they ask us to change room again, but we did not.The place unfortunately it's dirty and needs a major update.

It was an ok place to crash for a night but zero amenities, not even a coffee maker in the room. On site parking and nearby T station were convenient but paying for parking seemed unreasonable. Room was spacious but beds were uncomfortable and felt old.
One of the least expensive hotels in the area, but for close to $200, I expect a little more, regardless of location/competitors.
