Top Back Bay East Hotel Reviews

Seaport Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Hote is good and brakefast very nice"

citizenM Boston Back Bay

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. A little small for my liking but it was fine. The bed was extremely comfortable and I loved how the blinds made the room really dark. The staff were helpful when needed although I didn’t need them much, thankfully! The gym is good enough for what I needed it to be. But would struggle if there was 3+ people in there at the same time. Overall, a very comfortable and pleasant stay."

Hotel AKA Back Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great place. Everyone was very friendly. I arrived at the hotel around 11:00 am to drop off the bags. My intention was to leave the luggage at the hotel and find a place where I could work for few hours. The lady at the reception was very kind and found a room available, gave me an upgrade and allowed me to check in right away. She also gave me recommendations on what to do and where to go to enjoy a fabulous meal. The place is in a great location, was very clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay."
