The location of the place is just great! very close to everything you need to visit in Boston. Very nice room (and clean) with a small kitchenette that can be very useful. just the bathroom is a bit tiny for for us everything was just perfect!

The apartments are cozy, very clean (I can't understand some reviews here, to me the house seems redecorated inside and perfectly clean) and in a central location just a few steps away from Newbury street. It's a nice and quiet area so there's not much traffic noise. In a beautiful Victorian building. Rooms are equipped with TV and a small... More

Ok but not great apartment. Location is excellent. Place would benefit from a deep clean and lick of paint. However - it was still good value for money. Other places nearby are better, but are also at least twice the price.

I have been there for two days. The only good thing is location, that's very good, in a nice hood, and price (not as absolute value, but compared with Boston prices - I paid 130 dollars tax excluded x night, double room). The rest, stairway is kind of stinking, carpet is dirty. Room, give some "dirty" feeling as well, even... More

Stayed here for a week. The Commonwealth Court Guest House is a charming turn of the century brownstone with charming rooms updated with small bathrooms and kitchenettes. Love it here. Truly a Boston experience. We love our room. The only downside is we are directly on Commonwealth Ave. so the traffic noise may bother some light sleepers. We are a... More

My wife and I just came back from a three night stay at the Commonwealth Court Guest House and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We were very worried because it was the cheapest option when looking to book a place in Boston but it thoroughly passes expectations. Yes, it is an old building but it is full of charm. The rooms...

Just returned from this guest house. The best I can say is that the location is excellent, however, would never go back. Very tiny room and rustic accommodations. Room is hot and stuffy. Unable to open any windows. Room needed cleaning badly and bathroom VERY small. We were on the 3rd floor and therefore many stairs. I was very disappointed.... More

My girlfriend and I were immediately impressed by the charm of this hotel, situated in an attractive old building. The room had all we needed, which was of good standard and quality for the price (didn't experience the mould that others mentioned). The hotel is located in a great position for those exploring Boston by foot, in a safe, comfortable... More
