XV Beacon

After reading all the great reviews we were looking forward to our stay. The atmosphere of the hotel is very dark, dreary and depressing. The rooms natural light is blocked by the building next door. Couldn’t figure out how to adjust the temperature. Impossible to put makeup on in the bathroom light. The bed was the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on and kept me up all night with back pain. Needless to say we won’t be back.

Wow, really nice find, perfectly positioned to walk everywhere in Boston, super nice staff, cozy boutique style hotel, nice room, Moo Restaurant attached, great breakfast. Could not fault this place 5 stars!

XV Beacon is located right in the heart of Boston directly next to the State House. Whether you want to walk to the Commons/Public Gardens or Quincy Market and the North End, this hotel is situated in the perfect place for you. It’s a boutique hotel so it doesn’t have the same grandness as other comparable hotels in the area, but for the money, it’s hard to beat. Will definitely be back.

XV Beacon is an incredible hotel in the Beacon Hill area of Boston. It is extremely conveniently located to be able to walk to most tourist areas and locations in Boston. Checking in was super easy. They sent me a message to pre check in but that turned out to be actually checking in. I hadn't actually wanted to do this and wanted to check-in in person but I was able to speak with the front desk person when I grabbed my keys and was able to settle my needs. This process was smooth and super hospitable. The lobby was a bit small but it was nicely decorated and very cozy. We sat in the lobby a few times and really appreciated the iced tea (and football cookies on Sunday game day.) The concierge desk is front and center and the concierge who helped us was extremely personable, with excellent recommendations. Our room was quite lovely and very spacious. It was immaculately clean and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was amazing and so was the abundance of hot water. Our bed was so cozy and the black out curtains did their job. We got great rest in this hotel. We went up to the rooftop, with it's plentiful seating and gorgeous views of Boston Common. What a nice way to spend an afternoon. We ordered room service one night and ate in the restaurant for breakfast a few times. The food at Moooooo is absolutely incredible, as well as the service. I could not recommend this hotel more and I will definitely be back when in Boston again.

Very welcoming with excellent helpful staff. The courtesy car was very useful and added to an overall great stay. The breakfast was plentiful and well cooked.

We just spent 5 nights at this charming hotel. The location is perfect. The room was lovely and spacious. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The welcoming doormen, the efficient front desk, the very well-informed concierges (hat tip to David), the terrific driver of the hotel courtesy car, and the housekeeping staff that kept our room spotlessly clean. The breakfasts were marvellous, and the adjoining steak house (Mooo) was incredibly good.
