We booked this hotel based on Trip Advisor reviews thinking that it would be a good one night stay in Boston before flying out. We got the rooms from by calling the hotel. Hotel provides no breakfast included with $240 a night charge, i guess this may be normal in Boston area, not sure. Lobby of the hotel is very... more

Our family went to Boston for 5 nights and stayed in this petite hotel. We loved the location. It is walking distance to Faneil Hall/Quincy Market, Aquarium/Long Wharf, and we even walked over the bridge to USS Constitution because this hotel is near to North End. The hotel is nice and clean. The only thing is the room is a... more

Three 30-something women travelled last week to the Onyx Hotel in Boston. We experienced top-quality service and the accomodations were above and beyond our expectations! From the minute we jumped out of the car..we had excellent service. We were greeted by the fantastic Chris (Head Concierge) and then we checked in under the direction of the fabulously friendly Alexis! We... more

Very hip and modern. We walk by it all the time on the way to TD Banknorth Garden and thought we'd give it a shot for a weekend treat. Nice furnishings, complementary wine and cheese in the lobby at check in (good wine too)....I thought it was great that I could bring my dog so I didn't have to leave... more

We made our first trip in to Boston in July and stayed at the Onyx - we were not disappointed! The staff was wonderful, as was our room. We were in town for the Eagles at the TD Banknorth and the location was excellent - we were a stone's throw from the Arena. Everyone was so friendly, it was incredible.... more

Good location. Easy walking distance to the Italian district, to the center etc we actually waked everywhere. Do not bring a car, parking is very expensive and driving in Boston is quite difficult! Walking on the other hand, is easy! Rooms are nice, clean and tidy, but small. Bathroom good size. Beds comfortable. Ask for a coffeemaker if you want... more

We stayed in the Onyx for a few days in July 2008. We had stayed in a few different hotels during our visit to Boston and this was the best. The rooms were clean and extremely modern, and while our double/double room was not huge we managed with two adults and two teens. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful... more

We love the Kimpton Hotels and, while this was not our favorite, it is a very nice little hotel. The rooms are on the small side. On the plus side, the location is quiet but is within convenient walking distance to all the major downtown attractions. The staff, as always for Kimpton, was very helpful and friendly. The beds at... more
