    A great place to stay in the heart of Boston
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double Queen with Atrium View
    • Stayed 2 nights

    It would be nice to have a kettle in the room for a morning cup of tea, but there is a 7-11 next door where tea can be bought cheaply, and the adjoining restaurant provided cups of hot water for hotel residents.

    The hotel is in a fantastic location, very close to Quincy Market and the harbour. We were able to walk to most of Boston's sights and attractions from the hotel, including Boston Common. The staff were friendly, the room was clean, the shower was powerful, and the beds were very comfortable. I'd asked for foam pillows on one bed (due to allergies), feather pillows on the other, and this was provided.

    Our room had no windows, the smell was not terrible but could have been better, and the heater was making some noises the first night.

    The location is really good, close to a subway station. The value was good too.

    The location is great. Can walk anywhere in the city from the hotel. The room was small but very cute and quiet.

    I didn’t like the restaurant on site. They didn’t have a wide selection of food choices. The drinks at the bar were good but very expensive. The bartender and staff were rude.

    The staff at the front desk, when we checked in, were great. The room was nice. Location was great. We were on street over from Marketplace.

    Boston is an amazing city to visit with a lot of sights to see.

    The fact that there was practically no view from the window of the room I was at. Additionally, the attached restaurant was a bit pricey. Also, the carpeted floor meant that I got a static shock every time I touched the metal door knob or elevator button.

    The bathroom/shower was beautiful, the bed firm and comfy, and the room nice and big. The location of the hotel so close to the Blue Line was really helpful, and everything was in walkable distance from it.

    Nothing

    Harborside is absolutely brilliant value for money for Boston ( which is the most expensive place in 45 years of travel!). I did not pay anything like $500 dollars a night but around 700 for 3 nights which is still very high for me! The location is superb being near the waterfront and a well known hotel who sell Meomi Pinot Noir! It is also near the Tourbus and near North End ( Little Italy) is a ten minute walk. All the staff were so kind and went out of their way to help their customers and they are to be commended on their professionalism. My room was very quiet as requested, a great size and the bathroom was also larger than most 4* hotels I have stayed in. This deserves 4* status. There are loads of eating places nearby and access to public transport and the airport as Aquarium is right outside. There is also a restaurant attached whose coffee and croissants were great and little shop 1 minute away to buy things I will return!

    Boston prices are high, I was surprised at the cost of accommodation in the city, I chose this place as a bit more reasonable and in top location.

    Lovely central location, clean and comfortable, just what needed for a few days stop. There was no fuss or issues around booking, checking in or out and staff cheerful and helpful. I would stay there again.
