    The staff was very helpful, and the location was perfect for us. Our double room was super comfortable and spotless - also very charmingly decorated. The whole hotel is well set up with good options for meeting others, food and just taking a break in the lobby areas.

    Room was spacious, advised on checking in we had booked a twin room, however both beds were double bed size so this wasn't an issue. Very clean modern bathroom with toiletries provided. Air con in room, additional pillows available in room. Convenient location for us and plenty of options to choose to eat nearby (walking distance). Also we travelled to and from the hotel by bus with no problem.

    We stayed in the centre of Boston at the start of our trip and slightly further our at Porter Square at the end of our trip before flying home. Porter square was my favourite as it was cheaper, opposite an excellent thai restaurant and quieter too. Lovely room and location very close to a metro stop to get you easily into the centre of the city.
