“Exquisite, Defined, and Welcoming”

My stay at Encore bed and breakfast will never fade my memory. I had the most wonderful time at this bed and breakfast owned by two gentlemen, named Reinhold and David.

Encore has 4 clean and colorful rooms available, 2 on the second floor and 2 on the third floor. So those with handicap/stair issues, this may pose a problem. Each room has been carefully decorated in a contemporary fashion with unique accessories. Plenty of windows for the rooms in the back and front, in addition the Albee (were I stayed) has the only porch to walk on.

Every morning Reinhold provides a healthy and filling breakfast and can assist you with questions concerning Boston as well as other countries (he is fluent in French and German). Quite honestly, I found the proprietors of this establishment to be one of the most warm and welcoming compared to the other B&B's I have been to in the nation.

Being located in Boston's South End makes the Encore even more special as you have every modern convenience in walking distance. At last 6 restaurants ranging from a French Bistro to a modern Tavern are within 1 block.

While I was here on business for little over a week, I already have spoken with my wife about making a trip in October. Enjoy the photos.

We spent three nights in Boston at the Encore B&B and absolutely loved it! The location is great for getting around the City and it feels like you are living in Boston instead of staying at an impersonal hotel. The rooms were very classy and clean and the hosts, Reinhold and David, were very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were excellent -good coffee and wonderful granola! We will definitely be back again and will recommend it to our family and friends. You won't regret staying at the Encore B&B - it feels like your home away from home.

“Quirky base in Boston”

Encore Bed and Breakfast

Jan 2, 2008

After travelling to New York by sea (on the QM2), we took the train down to Boston and walked from the station to this sweet terraced townhouse in an affluent area of the city.

Encore is reasonably priced, very comfortable and mine host was extremely welcoming. I thank him for my introduction to German Fitness Bread!

“Excellent B and B in a residential neighbourhood of Boston”

Encore Bed and Breakfast

Dec 30, 2007

My husband and I stayed at the Encore B and B for 7 nights from 15th December until 22nd and would highly recommend it to anyone.

We stayed on the top floor in the Albee Room and were extremely impressed with not only our room, but the entire building. Everywhere was spotlessy clean. Reinhold was lovely and very approachable. He was always willing to stop and chat, but was never overbearing or 'in your face'.

The location of the B and B is excellent. You get a real neighbourhood vibe staying in the South End, and we really felt like locals whilst we were staying there. My husband and I love walking and were happy to get out each day to discover the delights of Boston (even though there was snow the whole time we were there, and I mean snow - 12 inches of the stuff in some places!!)

I could go on and on about how great the Encore is (and Boston too for that matter), but take my word for it (and the word of the other reviewers), if you go to Boston and are lucky enough to get a reservation at the Encore, you will not be disappointed.

“First trip to Boston: made perfect”

Encore Bed and Breakfast

Dec 30, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

My wife and I booked our first trip to Boston on the first week-end of December. I looked up the reviews in Tripadvisor and felt lucky to book a room at Encore Bed & Breakfast only a few weeks ahead of our travel. Our hosts were friendly and meeting Reinhold allowed us to practice our German. Our room (the Sondheim) was exquisitely decorated and more comfortable than any 5 star you would book, anywhere. The location is fantastic (we love to walk a city through and through and the South End is both strategic and quiet). We were planning a 3 nighter but news of a major snowstorm hitting the North East on Monday morning had us flee on Sunday PM. Too bad, but we will be back!
