Had to stay for my wife's work with our newborn. The staff was very helpful and the room was clean, comfortable and had an old world charm not seen in more modern buildings. Unfortunately, Clio (great restaurant) was closed for renovations during our stay, but I lived in Boston for years and my friend who lives there now had plenty... More

Our son had an audition at Berklee College of Music. The Eliot Hotel was perfectly located and was extremely charming. The Concierge made our dinner reservations and we took advantage of an upgrade to a 2-room suite with a view of Commonwealth Avenue. We loved the hotel and recommend it if you want something other than a generic chain hotel. More

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay at the Eliot. This is a small hotel with fantastic customer service that is responsive, helpful and friendly. Top notch customer service attitude from everyone I talked to, which is so refreshing. The decor has a luxurious feel using high quality items yet it comes together in a relaxing way. When we left...

A friend and I were invited to a big party in Boston and felt it prudent not to drive home even though it is only 30 miles so we decided to stay in Boston and we chose the Eliot. It was a splendid idea! We were greet warmly by the staff, the valets wisked our cars away and we went... More

What makes this hotel great aside of from its proximity to Newbury St and the Prudential Center, is its wonderful service. From my arrival, greeted by the valet service, to the room service staff, and front desk staff, my every need, request, etc. was met with perfection. The only reason the Eliot did not get a rating of 5/5 from... More

No facilities in the room for tea or coffee and restaurant in hotel very expensive, needed to get dressed up to go and have a coffee. Sounds like a small thing but after a day of walking walking walking, all we wanted to do was relax with a cup of tea/coffee in our room, not go out again. The hotel... More

A very cozy and somewhat old fashioned hotel in the centre of Boston´s older area. I found the hotel very comfortable and inviting, nice European English style furniture which suited the building. Great location, easy to stroll around to restaurants, bars and shops in immediate proximity to the hotel. Nice Japanese restaurant in the hotel, had a very decent room... More

My memory was that the Eliot was an all-suites hotel but our room (perhaps because it was from hotels.com?) was very small and definitely not a suite. The decor was lovely and the bed comfy, but the hallway needed vacuuming. My morning coffee came pretty quickly but cost $14.00. The location was good and the stay was fine but w/out... More

I had the occasion to stay at the Eliot Hotel in Boston because of a medical conference, which was held at the Westin Hotel - this gave me the opportunity for a lovely 15 minute walk every morning and at the end of each day. The hotel is furnished in luxurious style, beautiful, clean, with comfortable beds and pleasant furnishings,... More

Our room was right on Commonwealth Ave but you could have heard a pin drop!! IT really was that quiet.. Lots of space, great bed and fantastic pillows.. The location is wonderful and the Restaurant CLIO worth eating at..there is also a Uni Sashimi Bar in the same hotel.. we were leaving early and requested coffee brought to the room... More
