Stayed for two nights, travelled up from New York by train, easy few minutes walk from station to hotel, at the end of our stay we were picking up a hire car from Avis which again was located just round the corner and could easily wheel our cases, no need to get a cab. On arrival our room wasnt ready... more

We stayed in the Back Bay for 2 nights with our teenage family , for a mid-term break before driving to Cape Cod and a last night in Salem. Boston was an easy city to get around as a tourist. Our family could not recommend the Back Bay Hotel highly enough. The location is excellent and we it is definetly... more

But it still seemed a lot for what we got - room was nicely appointed, service was excellent, but room felt a little stuffy as if it hadn't had fresh air for a while. Location is great... more

I would recommend this... more
