    Best hotel in Boston - value, location, service
    Hotel Commonwealth provides 5-star quality service and facilities at an affordable rate. It feels like family when you arrive. Front desk staff know your name before you arrive. They are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Thanks, Myron and Nick! Bell staff always greet with a smile and have doors open and ready for you, again remembering your name. Thanks, Frankie! The rooms are spacious, some of the most spacious in Boston with beautiful views of Fenway or Kenmore. The hotel updates are gorgeous and love the added fitness room and the cozy sweatshirt hoodie robes. HC is sandwiched between two of the best restaurants in Boston (Eastern Standard and Island Creek Oyster Bar) and the subway is literally right below. Lots of hot spots within walking distance. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quality hotel during your stay in Boston or even to celebrate for a fun staycation for locals like we did. Also obsessed with the Malin+Goetz hand soap. Using the coupon right away.
    Dear gabrieladQ8889AR, Thank you for choosing Hotel Commonwealth while visiting Boston. We are thrilled that you enjoyed so many different aspects of your stay Thank you for pointing out a few of our stellar employees, I will make sure they receive the recognition they deserve. We hope you will be able to come stay with us again soon.

    Room 532 I will never, ever forget you
    I’m a self-proclaimed hotel snob so please take this review to heart. This hotel was hands down THE best we’ve ever stayed at in all of the USA. The staff are helpful but not intrusive, housekeeping is impeccable, the smell as you walk in the hotel is something I wish I could replicate in my own home. I never wanted to leave the room, it was elegant, classy, spotless and fun. Room 532 has a pool table and it kept us entertained for hours. The location can’t be beat and if you have a chance to pick the concierge brain, Nick has wonderful suggestions. I will forever be grateful for the experience at Hotel Commonwealth, it made all my hotel dreams come true.
    Dear mindyk404, Thank you for sharing your review! Out LOFT suite is certainly one of a kind and we are thrilled to see that you enjoyed your time with us. The scent in the lobby is White Tea and Thyme, it is fan favorite!. We hope you will come stay with us again soon.

    Beautiful hotel with amazing staff and great location!
    I have stayed at many hotels and this was by far one of my favorite experiences. The rooms were clean, spacious and ours had a fun view of the street/buildings (which our toddler loved because he could see buses and trucks), but no noise issues. The bed (king) was huge and comfy. The location is great, right next to Fenway and literally right above a T stop (their public transportation) that takes you right downtown in less than 15 minutes. You do not need a car at all in this city but especially at this location. The area felt safe with our family, and was right across the street from Boston University. The staff members were the friendliest I've ever encountered, from the bellman to the valet to the front desk to the housekeepers (who were so sweet to our toddler) and to the manager. Everyone was so accommodating, helpful and made us truly feel like we were welcome. They had umbrellas for rainy days, good breakfast and dinner room service options, a nice lobby with lots of space, tables, etc. that I used to work in after checking out and a place to hold your luggage if needed. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Prior to booking I worked with Paul to figure out a solution for bringing our toddler and staying in the room block/rate of the conference that I was attending. He was really helpful and friendly and helped us get a perfect room with a little extra space for our kid to sleep and then we were able to close a curtain so we could still have tv on and move around after he went to sleep for the night at 8 p.m. I talked to him a few times prior to our stay and the customer service was wonderful. The Manager Jeff was also awesome - helping my husband set up a late birthday surprise for me with chocolates and champagne. This was really fun to find when we came into our room after a long day of travel. He then helped me on the last day as I left something in the room and was in a rush to get out. It was much appreciated. My only complaint is that the valet parking is expensive and there isn't really a cheaper garage within walking distance. I believe this is the case for anywhere in the city though! The location, rooms and level of service from everyone we met made our trip really easy and memorable, and we would definitely stay here again when we're in Boston and highly recommend for anyone visiting (especially with a kid, super child-friendly).
    Wow! Thank you, Vanessa! We appreciate you sharing your wonderful experience. We are so fortunate to have incredible representatives like Paul and Jeff who always take great care of our guests. We know traveling isn't always the easiest, but it is great knowing that we could offer such a seamless experience for you and your family. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Excellent staff and rooms. Everyone there makes you feel welcome and the rooms are extremely comfortable and well appointed. Located right by the Kenmore T station and easily walkable to Fenway, Backbay, and Newbury Street, I’m not sure why you’d stay anywhere else.

Great Location and Warm Hospitality with all you could need is provided in these streamlined yet very comfortable accommodations. This hotel is perfectly situated for work and play in Boston. The staff are warm and knowledgeable. The nearby restaurant, Pescador, offers excellent local seafood and creative libations in a lively atmosphere that is also conducive to quiet conversation. This hotel is an excellent option for business or tourist travel.

The rooms are clean, fresh, modern with a dash of old New England charm. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. I loved how close it was to Fenway as well as the closeness to all of the public transit hubs. It is also surprisingly quiet in your room, which is nice when it’s at capacity with rowdy sports fans or college students.

I have had the pleasure of staying at several hotels across the country and this was the cleanest, professional, pleasurable and most relaxing stay I have ever had in any hotel I’ve ever been to! I highly encourage anyone staying here to talk with the staff and learn more about the area you are staying at. They are highly knowledgeable to not only the area but all of Boston.

Hotel Commonwealth is centrally located. Next to T station (Green Line) and convenient to Boston University, Northeastern, and Fenway Park. Valet parking is a plus. Quiet and well appointed rooms, complimentary beverages with a cute restaurant (Pescador) right next door. Staff was responsive and unrushed despite it being move in weekend. Close to Prudential Center and Back Bay as well.

First, I want to say how amazing the staff at the hotel were. Everyone was beyond accommodating and ensuring we had everything we needed. Next-the room was clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel is within steps to Fenway and the T. We would definitely stay again.
