We stayed in the North Tower for 5 nights. Overall the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. The location is great, near T station. Plenty of really nice restaurants nearby. Somewhere we will stay again on our next trip to Boston, especially as the rooms are big. more

We stayed at the Gryphon for one night several weeks ago. We were in Boston to help our daughter move into her new apartment and to attend a ceremony at the Medical School she was preparing to attend. The attendant who answered the phone when we called for directions was very polite but not very helpful. The only room that... more

Stayed here with my wife for three days over the July 4th weekend, first time in Boston, stayed in North Tower suite (views over the river are excellent), loved the building its decor and history, the staff were superb in their recommendations of where to go and where to eat were 10/10. To call it a bed and breakfast does... more

Two of us stayed in Sanctuary - a lovely large room with a kitchen area, which we made good use of, and a huge bathroom. All the staff (who changed daily) were wonderfully helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble. We particularly liked the fact that tea, good coffee and fruit juice were freely available. We used the maps (a lot)... more

Stayed 6 nights in Boston, and for its location Gryphon house is good value. Very short walk to Kenmore T stop and then about a 10 minute ride to downtown. Great if you are in Boston for a redsox game, as Fenway is just around the corner. We booked Riverview which was at the back of the building, and would... more

We loved the place. Very spacious. owners & employees very helpful. When we checked in Theresa took us to our room and explained everything in great detail even how to use the remote to the t.v. You are right in downtown Boston a couple of blocks from Fenway. We never had to move our car from the parking lot we... more

Gryphon House is is an ideal position for walking downtown and is about 2 minutes from the T in Kenmore Square.It is very spacious and decor and furnishing are of a high standard, although a bit too Victoriana for my taste. There are many extras such as coffee maker, teas, fruit, sweets, library (books, music and films). A generous continental... more

We shared the North Tower with friends and it was a very large unit. The 2nd bed was an old fashioned day bed that turned into a couple of twin beds. It was very comfortable. The staff was excellent! The lady who checked us in actually took us up to our room and showed us all the amenities of the... more

What a great place to stay! This was our first B&B experience and we will definitely return. Tara and the rest of the staff were all wonderful and never hesitated to be of service. We stayed in the Tuscany Room, which was absolutely gorgeous and spotlessly clean. We were also happy with the extended continental b-fast that is offered: cereal,... more

I agree with most other posters and their 5 star ratings. I even agree with a 3 star poster who was 'very disappointed' with their stay. They mentioned that there was much street noise and the breakfast isn't something you see at a typical B&B. This is true, however, I guess I don't place those things as high as the... more
