Top Downtown Boston Hotel Reviews

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"This hotel was clean and quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful. A good value for the area."

The Godfrey Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t say enough about The Godfrey and especially the staff. From the moment we got there until when we checked out we had the friendliest most accommodating team. The rooms were spacious, clean and beds were so comfy! It was in the perfect location close to Boston’s beautiful parks, Fenway and great restaurants and bars."

Harborside Inn Of Boston

8/10 Good

"This hotel has a fabulous location right next to a T stop, and across from the parking garage that has rental cars. Walkable to Quincy Market, The North End, Waterfront, and downtown. The beds and pillows are the most comfortable of all the hotels we have stayed in Boston! While everything was updated and modern, the rooms feel claustrophobic due to not having windows that face the "real" outdoors. We had an atrium view room, and assumed with the word view in the title, we would not be facing a dark inner courtyard. Even the lobby is dark and not very welcoming - the restaurant has nice outdoor seating, which is a plus. Given that nearly all hotels now have a keurig or nespresso coffee machine in the room to make coffee, we were surprised that we had to go downstairs to the restaurant to buy coffee. We were right up the street from a great Dunkin Donuts, which we appreciated. E"

The Dagny Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel. Had no complaints. But.... My daughter and her husband had an issue with the room they rented. The mattress was old and pretty much like sleeping on a box spring. They tried adding a comforter under them but it did not help. They did get put into another room the next day, so the issue was resolved. We all loved the neighborhood. Quiet and yet near attractions within walking distance. The nespresso coffee in room was a nice touch."
