Really exotic. Ambiance vinyle. Suitable for both families and lovers. This hotel has a soul and it feels good. The room has a turntable (self-service discs) with Bluetooth-enabled connected speaker. Typewriter. Very stylish lamps. Zebra bathrobe. We like these surprises what... The pool surrounded by the rooms is friendly with a color belt (colored windows and flowers). Finally a real breakfast in the restaurant next door (croissants and tasty chocolate bread). No savory food but unlimited waffles. Sweet kings will love it. Only downside in the rooms, the entrance doors poorly insulated. You can hear the revellers coming home and the noises. Parking with valet not included at 70 euros per day to be provided in the budget.

Well, what can I say about the Verb Hotel other than it's the best hotel on the planet. It was an absolute dream to visit here with my husband & our son for my husband's 30th Birthday. As soon as we arrived we were so excited to be surrounded by the most amazing music memorabilia & best vinyl collection in Boston! On top of this, the vinyls are free for guests to borrow & play in their rooms as every room has an awesome vinyl player to make use of during their stay which is a brilliant idea & meant we got to listen to so much awesome music.
For my husband's birthday, some of the Verb team had very kindly decorated our room and curated a 1994 vinyl selection to help him celebrate, he (and me!) we're absolutely thrilled with this & we cannot thank both Carley & MacKenzie for all of their efforts in doing this for him it meant the world to him & he's told me it's the best trip he's ever had.
The room itself was amazing, cool vintage features throughout. We absolutely loved the outdoor heated pool & went out every day for a swim in sub zero conditions it was incredible. Breakfast was delicious & it was wonderful on our last morning to have a brilliant musician play/sing to us during that. The linked restaurant had exceptional pan Asian cuisine; we ate there three evenings during our stay & would highly recommend. The team on the front desk were super helpful with all of our touristy questions & helping us plan day trips to nearby Salem.
The location was ideal, right next to Fenway Stadium which we did a tour of (would highly recommend doing this). It only took 15 minutes to get into central Boston on foot, passing some interesting sights on the way including Berkley school of music and Back Bay fells to name a few.
I cannot recommend this hotel enough & I was very sad to leave, I'm really really hope we can return again some day soon. My only area of feedback is please can the hotel consider getting a few travel cots for little visitors visiting in future, we were thankfully able to share the giant bed with our toddler but we would much rather not because he likes to kick us in his sleep! Other than that, absolutely best hotel EVER hands down. Thank you Verb hotel.

Wow you really rocked our world with this review! It really hit every single point that makes our hotel so special from our staff to our stuff and that warms our heart. Thank you so much for taking the time to create such a wonderful review. We are so happy your stay was so good and that we were able to help your husband have the most rockin' time possible for his special day! I know Carley was so excited to set up that amenity for him because she knew you guys would appreciate it! There isn't much more to say other than we thrive on creating special moments that resonate with our guests and the reverb we got from this review is the best song we've heard all year!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
This is my second stay here, because the first one was so good. The hotel location can’t be beat, if you’re interested in Fenway Park ! The attached restaurant / bar is fun & convenient, they provide a decent breakfast each morning for hotel guests, plenty of other walkable options are nearby … rooms are cute, not overly luxurious but perfectly clean and serviceable and in keeping with the music theme of the hotel, each one has a record player and you can choose from their collection of thousands of LPs in the lobby.
The best part is the awesome rock & roll theme and the WONDERFUL staff !! Everyone is so genuinely friendly - no cold corporate vibe here. Also ! Free water and cold brew coffee in the lobby !! So many great extra touches.
I’ve never parked a car here and wouldn’t want to - the parking lot is VERY small, about 30 spaces for over 100 rooms. So don’t count on that. Driving in Boston sucks anyway, walk or take the T instead.

Upon arrival the check in process was exceptional, Gerry was very informative. The place is beautiful, you get a music museum along with a wonderful stay. They have a mini record library where you can choose records to take up to your room. That’s right, they have an old school record player in the room. In addition, upon entering the hallways walking up to your room, the smell of clean rooms is overpowering so when you walk in to your room expect a sparkling clean room and all the decor is impressive and the ROBES!!!! Omg it makes you’re stay better than being at home. Overall, I totally recommend this place 100/10.

Spent another fabulous weekend at The Verb Hotel where music is always in the air and an awesome staff make everyone feel welcome.
We love coming here for the great location neighboring our favorite Fenway Park, for the music nostalgia, the escape to the steamy outdoor pool on a chilly Boston winter day, and the warm, welcoming staff that go the extra mile to enhance every guest’s experience. Gabby was so friendly and helpful to us throughout our stay. Yoselin and Mirian were a fabulous breakfast team that went above and beyond kickstarting our morning with a spread was not only delicious and well-stocked but also beautifully presented, with fresh options to suit every taste. Kudos to the team for their hard work and dedication and doing it all with a smile. Thanks Verb! Can’t wait to come back.

We booked at The Verb last minute for lodgings after a concert we were attending nearby at Brighton Music Hall. We’d never stayed at a themed hotel, but the experience was awesome! The Verb has amazing set dressing (like old fashioned radios and record players in your room or band merch around the hotel), but it doesn’t sacrifice quality, cleanliness, or service to present their cool theme.
Hotel staff were all super kind and helpful! Especially valet attendant Cisco, who ran to get our car through extremely cold wind, and receptionist Zara, who walked us through all of their amenities and when they were available.
We’d absolutely stay at The Verb again in a heartbeat.

The Verb is a truly amazing hotel. The property is not even that special, but the atmosphere and location all the more. The Verb first of all has a fantastic breakfast with extremely tasty options. There was even live music during breakfast. The rooms are well-kept and you can bring records to your room to play on your personal record player. The location is beautiful so directly to the world famous Fenway park. The hotel is relatively expensive, but it is worth it.

The fronts desk staff was very helpful, kind and friendly, we can for the Volleyball tournaments, my husband daughter and I, for 4 days. The hotel room all cozy but bed very comfortable and very clean, I like the fact that they provide water bottle at not cost, coffee maker and small fridge which makes easier to keep fruits in good condition, they have a completely breakfast which provided good choices, they have te, coffee juices, smoothies, different type of bread, fruits, yogurt, but the most important is the high quality of people that help you with the breakfast Criselda, Yoselin and Daniella are very nice patients and sweet, very good customer services. Saturday they have live music in the breakfast time, very cool.

We stayed in a trailer backstage. It was probably one of the most expensive stays we’ve ever had but it was worth every penny. They did indeed make us feel like rock stars! From hot and cold nitro coffee in the lobby, continental breakfast and water to all of the amenities that were included in our trailer. Our fridge wasn’t very cold, I forgot to mention that. Our faucet was loose and I did mention that when we checked out. I wish we spent more time here, as it rained and we didn’t use the pool. If you can’t stay in a trailer, I recommend asking for a room above 112 as the rooms numbered 101-112 are in a main hallway. If you do stay in a trailer, watch your toes under the doors to the toilet/shower. I caught one under the door :( the breakfast had lots of options unless you are low carb/sugar. Hard boiled eggs are about your only option, which I don’t like. There are vegan options, which isn’t me. Parking on site is a little more convenient but we parked across the street for about $40. Dinner at the restaurant was very good. We went with recommendations from Kyle and Dade. Lots to explore and records to listen to!
