Top Back Bay Hotel Reviews

The Dagny Boston

8/10 Good

"Bell staff was exceptional! Front desk was super helpful in getting us an extra room on the same floor for our sons. The king room we booked unseen was underwhelming but it was a last minute decision on our part. Had I booked that online I would have been upset. More of a closet with a bed inside. The pear martini at the restaurant should be taken off of the menu. It was undrinkable. We didn’t use many amenities as we were out in town for 12-14 hours each day. Boston is an amazing city. There was a ton of outside construction going on at the Dagny as well but location was fantastic. Would stay again in an upgraded room."

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

10/10 Excellent

"The location is excellent. Parking is A1, easy. Spacious room. I recommend requesting a room facing the back, because the street in front is noisy at night with the vehicles. Coffee should be available until noon... coffee costs next to nothing and the guests love it!"

Hotel AKA Back Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The AKA is often the best value in Boston. The location is key as it is close to Back Bay station if you come by train, but mostly it’s perfectly located near the commons, a couple of blocks from Newbury street and short walks to Beacon Hill or the South End. The rooms are very tasteful, very clean, comfortable and spacious. Plenty of amenities like a steamer, bathrobes, etc… A large lounge off the lobby where you can work of meet clients, and a solid restaurant with an excellent breakfast and good bar. All in all, it is subtle luxury and the smartest choice for my needs. Often, I find it priced correctly, slightly lower than the nearby competition and that clinches the deal!"

Copley Square Hotel, a FOUND Hotel

8/10 Good

"The bed linens are old, threadbare and snagged. The bathroom was so small you had to squish against the wall and toilet to close the door. The elevators were very slow, it seemed only one worked at a time. The breakfast gal in Hue needs a job that is not customer-service focused. It is clear she hates her job."
