My husband and I enjoyed a 5 night stay at Hotel Commonwealth last week. The location is fantastic with a T station next door. However Boston is a walking city and we were able to walk to most locations from the Hotel. The staff were friendly and very helpful, nothing ever seemed too much trouble. The girls at the front...

I stayed for almost a week during a program in Boston University. Hotel Commonwealth has an excellent location not only close to BU but to everywhere with the Subway entrance and even to Fenway Park and to the highlights of the city just though a lovely walk (I was there during spring) of a few blocks. In addition both restaurants... More

First time at the Commonwealth although we have been to Boston many times. Easy access off of Commonwealth Ave., but you will need to use valet parking. Not cheap at $42/day. We got there in early evening. Lobby is one floor up so you either take an elevator or drag your bag up the stairs. Check in was a little... More

Normally one review is all I ever write about a restaurant, hotel or other service I may have enjoyed or didn't enjoy. However, I just had to give another stroke to the Hotel Commonwealth. I have stayed there numerous times and always had a great experience. and when things weren't going as planned, my needs were addressed and taken care... More

My son and I traveled to Boston for our Christmas present--a Boston weekend and a Red Sox game. After taking the T from Logan, little did we know that the Kenmore station is literally under the hotel! Can't beat that convenience. The staff was great and extremely helpful and knowledgeable, the room was immaculate and the location is a fantastic... More

I've reviewed the Hotel Commonwealth before, but I love this place so much I will review it again. We spent another wonderful weekend there, and it never disappoints. Greeted at check in with a glass of champagne, a perfectly appointed and spotlessly clean room, super comfortable bed and a quiet night's sleep, even though our room faced Commonwealth Ave. How...

We always love Hotel Commonwealth. It's fun to walk to Fenway, see the game (Go Sox!!), then return to relax before dinner at Eastern Standard right next door :) If we still have energy, we love to visit the Hawthorn located in the basement of the hotel. To finish off the perfect Boston experience, we like to walk up to... More

Great service as always! Nick the concierge was helpful with information as usual. They staff even sent my son a little basket of goodies as it was his 17th birthday. The ladies at the front desk always had a friendly greeting and a smile.

This staff of this hotel represent the wonderful spirit of Boston extremely well. Our trip to Boston was absolutely amazing due in part to their exuberance. The hotel is nice, but remember its people that make the difference. They are the best here. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, anytime!

We stayed at the Commonwealth with our <1-year old baby. Hence we were very happy to get all the support we could think of, including having a crib, high chair, fridge and microwave oven in our room. Great room and super-friendly staff providing excellent service!
