This hotel is not advisable. The only things that are positive are the central location and the fact that the rooms were clean. The bathroom we had (#215) was very small, there was no place even to put toilet articles anywhere. The room itself was also quite small – the biggest thing was the TV. No safe for valuables, no... more

Stayed here for 2 nights late Oct '09. Rooms were generally well presented & clean . For the price is ok for value. Free 24hr internet access via wifi as well as the computers located in the lobby. Also free tea and coffee access in the lobby. The staff were always very helpful. Location wise it is within walking distance... more

The hotel itself is clean and centrally located and not a bad value for downtown Boston. The rooms are SMALL but I was prepared for that having read the reviews and I also knew to request an interior room (atrium view) because of the city noise. No room service, but I knew that too and there is plenty of food... more

I don't normally feel motivated one or the other to write a review, but this place really pushed me to sign straight in to TripAdvisor. We had high hopes after reading the reviews, unfortunately, this wasn't to be. On the plus side, the location is great - everything you could want is easy to get to, and there are plenty... more

Inaccurate Review If this guest wanted an extra quiet room maybe they should have asked for one at check in. Newly renovated with expensive custom made decor. Not sparse and cheap Brand new Blinds. Top of the line Sealy pillow top mattresses Not unremarkable Discounted parking at $28.00 per night best deal in the area by far! 3 minutes or...

Stayed here in Sep 09, really attractive building. Makes a change from the template dullness of chain hotels. Rooms clean and quiet, big TV plenty of space to move around. Free internet access and tea/coffee making facilities downstairs. Can park outside if you need to and then get discount at car park 2 minutes round the corner. Great location for... more

Just returned from the Harborside Inn where we could unfortunately spend only one night. Paid for atrium room but got one with city view which was a good surprise. Rooms are clean and well equipped, huge LCD TV, DVD player, etc. Nice bathroom. As the title sais this hotel is in central location right at Quincy Market, downtown Boston. New... more

We (young couple) stayed at this hotel about 2 weeks ago and we enjoyed our stay very much. Our room was on the 7th floor and we had a great view of the harbor and the city. The hotel is walking distance from the city's main attractions and the subway station is very close by (this was very convenient as... more

We very much enjoyed our three night (8/14-16) stay at the Harborside Inn. The lobby and room were very clean and well-kept. Those at the desk were always helpful with our questions. I took the advise of others about the outside noise and booked an atrium room on the 3rd floor. It was very quiet and, although there was a... more
