Almost every room has a view of Fenway. The hotel staff is courteous and when we called to let them know we had an issue in the bathroom we were amazed someone was in our room on the 4th floor within ten minutes of the call. The continental breakfast was ok (could use a bit more fruit and at least... more

We took a bit of a punt with this, booking it quickly through a tour company after a look at the website. The gamble paid off - good location - longish walk to town but right by Kenmore T stop. Staff very pleasant, room comfy and clean and bathroom great - one tip, ensure you make it clear you want... more

I have stayed at the Buckminster twice in the last 3 weeks. Its location is perfect, a few minutes walk to Fenway and the T stop. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The hotel is old, but clean. I was very happy with both my stays, and think it is a very good value. We had no trouble with... more

My husband and I stayed at the Buckminster for the monumental Red Sox game where Papi got his first homer of the season! The front desk personnel were welcoming and went out of their way to help in any way. We were also upgraded from a Queen room to King suite for the 139.00 price, with a great view of... more

I was taking my son to a Red Sox game and wanted to find a hotel close to Fenway Park. I reserved a room at the Buckminster and was glad I did. It is virtually a 30 second walk to the park. Being so close to Fenway and the atmosphere that surrounds it was priceless. The hotel is older than... more

I stayed at the Buckminster with some buds on the night of a concert we were going to at the new House of Blues. The place is a 1 minute walk to the House of Blues, which is right behind the Green Monster at Fenway Park. We had a suite with two queen size beds and a living room. Our... more

The cleanest, best operated place I have ever experienced. Convenient to attractions and subway. Terrific breakfast furnished. The room was not large, but was fine for the purpose. more

The Buckminster Hotel has undergone extensive renovations recently and they have done a great job maintaining the historic character of the hotel while at the same time providing all the modern amenities you expect when traveling. It is only a 1 minute walk to Boston's public transportation system and just a short drive to all of Boston's tourist attractions. The... more

This old hotel has been updated and has excellent and accommodating staff. The furnishings are old and rooms and suites oddly shaped, which adds a sort of quirky personality. Not for those who want pristine accommodations but clean and friendly. Good wi-fi. Beds can sometimes be overly firm, but the staff will switch out rooms if they have them. Crowded... more
