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.

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.

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).
