We enjoyed a stay in the middle of thriving Newbury Street. Noise was not a problem, but location made the difference for us. It was close to public transportation and perfect for visiting the city which was our first to Boston. Good restaurants, shopping and an easy walk to Boston Commons made this perfect. Breakfast included both hot and cold... more

Terrific location in the Back Bay area. Old world charm, but with contemporary styled rooms. Stayed for several nights in a Deluxe room (but no "padded luggage bench" in our room as stated on their website) and a night in King room. Very clean and comfortable. Bar fridge handy for keeping drinks and snacks (no mini-bar, which is my preference... more

Our room had a high ceiling with modern furniture, a 35-ish inch flat screen tv, Comcast cable, and a DVD player. The queen bed was a little hard, but hardly the worst I've slept on. It's in a very posh area of Boston (think Marina district in SF), with lots of fancy restaurant, shops, and nice park areas. Initially we... more

Our room overlooked Newbury Street on the 3rd floor. Room and bathroom were a nice size for the two of us, well decorated in a contemporary/minimalist way and clean (very imortant to me). At first I was concerned about checking in on a Saturday and staying in a room overlooking such a busy street with restaurants and traffic just below,... more

We spent a night in this hotel-in-a-brownstone July 20, 2009. The room seemed recently refurbished and well appointed, with new furniture . The A/C was effective and the bathroom vent minimized mirror fogging. Did not hear any neighbors ( maybe no one were there on a Monday ); the room was nice and quiet. The complimentary breakfast was limited but... more

The staff was helpful and courteous. The room was small, but very nice, clean & comfortable. Super great location! Close to everything! Great to go and sit in the lounge after a full day and have a coffee and talk with other guests! Absolutely recommend if you're not into the 12 story hotel scene. Will make this my "home-base" when... more

As one of the earlier reviews states they have recently refurbished this place, out with the victoriana and in with the modern minimalist sytle. Okay if that's your thing however at time of booking (Feb 09) we were not told and our original aim was to not stay anywhere that looked like 'any hotel' and yet that's exactly what we... more

My husband and I wanted to stay in a reasonably priced hotel that was close to major attractions in Boston. The Newbury Guest House fit the bill perfectly and was an amazing value. The hotel is located in the heart of Newbury Street's shops and restaurants and is within easy walking distance to two T-Stops. The room was clean and... more

I was attending a conference in Boston at the convention center located in Back Bay, and my colleague and I found this B & B had prices far lower than the big impersonal hotels the convention was recommending, and this place was just a block away from the convention center itself. It was nice that a warm breakfast was included... more
