Top Downtown Nantucket Hotel Reviews

The Beachside

8/10 Good

"Really nice hotel, away from the craziness of the downtown area. My only complaint is that the walls are paper thin and you can hear every single movement from above. We were given a room away from the main building where there is a second level, even though I know some of the rooms closer were empty and did not have a floor above. You can hear walking, rolling of suitcases and housekeeping carts so bad. Other than that, it was a nice property."

Centerboard

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely lovely. Staff isn’t onsite but extremely responsive and helpful via text or phone. The hotel is beautiful as was our room (kind standard). Short walk to town (~8 minutes) and beautiful neighborhood. Housekeeping daily. My only issue was getting a little chilly and not being able to get the heat to work. The staff brought an extra blanket, which solved that. My husband and I loved our stay and would absolutely book again."

Harborview Nantucket

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was even better than we'd hoped. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and extremely clean, and we couldn't have been in a better location! The view of the harbor, proximity to shopping and dining, and ease of check-in/out made for the perfect vacation. The bed was super comfy and the kitchen was outfitted with everything you could need. I highly recommend this beautiful property for your stay on Nantucket!"

Faraway Nantucket

10/10 Excellent

"We went for a mother daughter trip and this property was beautiful. They have excellent staff and amenities. The Sister Ship restaurant was amazing and the ambiance was second to none. Cymbals for breakfast on the patio was perfect! If you want a wonderful Nantucket experience, I highly recommend!"

Nantucket Inn

8/10 Good

"The lobby area was great. Although the room felt a bit sparse- seemed to be missing local charm. And we didn’t realize it was right at the end of the airport- we could have walked to it, instead we had a $23 taxi fee. The staff was outstanding- probably some of the warmest folks I have ever experienced. They offered shuttles into town, and offered complimentary bikes to ride, although the e-bikes were already out, so we couldn’t do the long ride. Overall, we had a great experience in Nantucket."
