We were celebrating an anniversary with a Sox game, dinner in town and a room at the Hotel Commonwealth. We were upgraded to a suite and given wonderful recognition. Condition of hotel was pristine with high end furnishings and amenities such as Frette sheets and towels. Food at both restaurants was excellent and service was outstanding. This hotel is high...

We had just stayed at a higher priced hotel in another city which was dismal. When we arrived at the Hotel Commonwealth , it was like another planet of service, rooms and attention to guest comfort. Highly recommended!

I spent last week in Boston and stayed at the Hotel Commonwealth. WOW! What a great hotel in every way! Huge room, unbelievable bed, fabulous friendly staff and two incredible restaurants. I could have spent another week. Haven't found a better hotel in Boston yet and I travel there frequently. Highly recommend this hotel. And I am a picky traveler!!

I can see why this hotel is rated #1 in Boston!!! I came with my family to see a Red Sox game and the location could not have been better. We also had a perfect view of the stadium from our room. The rooms were clean, the beds were very comfy and the service was impeccable! Standouts on our stay... More

This place deserves the great reviews. It's incredibly comfortable all round. The best sleep I've had in a hotel for a long time. Great amenities. Free wifi. A very good coffee maker on request. Good toiletries and lots of them. A good, very well maintained gym. We didn't eat a full meal but cocktails and nibbles in the bar were... More

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by extremely friendly and accommodating doormen and it continued once we registered with the front desk. We called the hotel before arriving and explained we were there for our son's graduation and would need a room early due to certain activities and they were more than happy to accommodate us upon our...

A big hotel with the friendly feel of a small hotel. Very helpful and pleasant staff who give attention to detail. Bedding is the most comfortable of the four other hotels we tried in Boston over the years. Island Creek Oyster Bar and Eastern Standard Restaurants were adjacent to the property and both were excellent.

The Hotel Commonwealth is the most comfortable hotel near Kenmore Square. While the view from all of the rooms isn't necessarily fantastic, you can't beat the location for access to Boston University, the Back Bay and the Museum of Fine Arts. It is also right on the T, so we were able to get all around town. The rooms were... More

We could not have been more pelase with this hotel. Great location, fabulous rooms, but most important to us with the helpful, courteous wonderful staff, from the doormen to the bell staff to the front desk and housekeeping -- everyone went out of their way to help us to have a wonderful long weekend.
