Helpful staff went out of their way to find us a room even after on-line booking site failed to save our reservation. Harborside accomodated us for our entire stay at a very fair rate. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Computers in lobby, staff is knowledgeable about local eateries, activities and nightlife. Oh yes and did I mention location! We... more

Imagine staying in the heart of downtown Boston for under $190 per night. Harborside Inn is the only place I know of that offers that much value. A stone's throw from the Boston Garden, Historic North End, and every form of transportation you can think of (including subway, commuter train, high-speed ferry, major Interstates) this cozy place is a bargain... more

We decided last minute to take the train to Boston for the night. I found this hotel on Trip Advisor and thought we'd give it a try. We have stayed in Boston many times and are quite familiar with many of the hotels. This hotel was in an excellent location. We were able to walk from North Station although there... more

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
