Top Boston University Hotel Reviews

The Revolution Hotel

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great place and convenient location. We had a room with a bathroom in the room, which was nice. Everything was very clean! My only complaint was that the shower was so close to the toilet (your toilet paper gets wet while you shower) and the shower leaked into the bedroom because the shower has no barrier except the curtain. Otherwise it was great!! Staff is very friendly and it’s a great location. The taco place connected is also delicious!"
