Scenic Hotels in Boston

"I’m not even joking , I still don’t understand how $30 per person can get so much , the bunk beds are amazing , eveyone has their own personal space (reading light, curtains) . At first I thought the shared restroom would be concerning , but turns up its really clean and the shampoos they use is rly good quality! I really like how they priortize personal space"

"It was a great overall experience staying at the Dagny. Staff was very professional/nice and the room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The Dagny is in a great part of Boston/ within walking distance to some museums and the Aquarium. Would recommend!"

"I spent Christmas and New Year's at this hotel. I spent some time and effort finding a suitable hotel beforehand, but it was definitely worth it. It was not only clean and tidy, but also incredibly cost-effective. First, let's talk about the location. For tourism, Boston's area isn't very large, so the most important thing when choosing a hotel is considering both price and transportation convenience. There's a tram stop right in front of the hotel (the photo was taken from across the street; the dark-roofed building behind the tram stop is the hotel). To the left of the hotel is the Kenmore subway station, which connects the Green, B, C, and D lines (you can see it marked ”Green line - all lines” in the photo). It's very convenient to get to attractions, the airport, and Chinatown. Even Newbury Street is only about 1 kilometer away. There aren't any large supermarkets nearby, but there's a 7-Eleven next door with fruit, bread, sandwiches, instant noodles, etc., which is sufficient for basic needs. While there aren't many restaurants nearby, if you're craving lobster rolls, there's supposedly the popular Row34 right next to the hotel (unfortunately, it was closed for the holidays). Across the street is a Japanese restaurant called Nagomi Izakaya; I once got $18 worth of salmon fried rice to take back to the hotel – it was piping hot and delicious. Now, let's talk about the essentials for Chinese travelers. Want hot water? There's an electric kettle in the room. Need free drinking water? Two bottles of water are provided upon check-in (the bottles are lightweight stainless steel and even marked as the official hotel of the Boston Red Sox). The hotel lobby offers free drinking water, coffee, sparkling water, and tea, including tea bags and paper cups, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, which you can take back to your room. Want to reheat food from the refrigerator? You can request a microwave in your room upon check-in, and even toothbrushes can be provided (toothpaste and slippers are not available). Crucially, all of these are free! Also, the room is huge; we had two suitcases fully extended without any problem moving around. The bathroom was spacious and equipped with hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. Hot water was plentiful, and the drainage was excellent. The room photos on Ctrip were exactly what you'd expect. There was one minor flaw in the facilities: the shower was overhead, and the glass door lacked a sealing strip. A little water from the showerhead would spill slightly through the gaps, but not excessively. We solved this by covering the showerhead with a lightweight, compressed disposable face towel we brought, allowing the water to pool. Now, let's talk about the key hotel service. Before our trip, we emailed Stephanie to confirm various details, and she responded very quickly, thoughtfully noting all our check-in requirements. On check-in day, we were greeted at the front desk by a tall, handsome young man named Kelvin, who was very friendly. He gave us Christmas chocolates and cookies and even reminded us that we could refill our water in the lobby the next morning. The day before we left, Boston was swept by strong winds. The weather forecast predicted -6°C, but it felt like -16°C 🥶. Boston winter combined with strong winds made walking on the streets truly chilly. Since our return flight was in the evening, and hotel check-out was at noon, and it was too cold to go outside, we tried to apply for a free late check-out at the front desk. After hearing our flight time, the lovely, chubby male receptionist immediately extended our check-out to 2 PM, explaining that it would have been charged if we had stayed until 3 PM. Encountering such a hotel and service while traveling was incredibly pleasant, and I highly recommend it! Finally, let me share my impressions of the city. From a tourist's perspective, aside from the extremely cold winter weather, Boston is truly a wonderful city. Its beauty stems not only from its renowned universities and academic atmosphere, but also from the cleanliness and orderliness you feel even when you walk along the city's first subway line, which dates back to 1897. When you enter the century-old Museum of Fine Arts and see large Chinese characters and maps in various languages, including Chinese, on the visitor center wall, you can feel the city's pride and warmth. When you can stroll through the century-old streets and buildings while sipping bubble tea, you can experience the wonderful fusion of history and modernity. In Boston's winter, it gets dark before 5 pm, and after you've had your fill of sightseeing, shopping, and dining, you can feel the friendliness and sense of security the city offers to travelers on your way home or in the car."

"Good location. Bus stop is right front of the parking garage. Breakfast is provided."

"citizenM feels a bit more fun and welcoming compared to other modern hotels. The rooms are still on the smaller side, but they’re super comfortable, especially the big bed that takes up most of the space. Everything is controlled with an iPad—lights, blinds, TV—which is actually pretty cool once you get used to it. The lobby areas are a highlight, with lots of space to hang out, work, or grab a drink. It feels more social than your typical hotel. Overall, it’s a great pick if you like a stylish, relaxed vibe without spending too much."

"I like this hotel very much. The hotel environment, facilities and services are great! It is very close to the Boston Tea Party attraction and can be reached on foot. You can also walk to the port pier. The scenery along the way is perfect for a walk. There are Starbucks and supermarkets nearby, so shopping is more convenient."

"About a ten-minute walk from the subway station. It's not in the city center, but the distance to downtown is still acceptable. The air conditioning in the hotel was terrible. I arrived in late April and still needed the heating on. It was either scorching hot, with the room approaching 30 degrees Celsius, or not warm enough, only 19 degrees. When I asked the front desk staff, their solution was to restart the heating myself. However, after restarting, the heater made an incredibly loud noise, so much so that I needed earplugs to sleep."

"The hotel is conveniently located right above a red line metro station. The simple complimentary breakfast is a nice touch, and the hotel itself is simply decorated and clean."

"We are from Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and are traveling with our child to Boston and Cambridge to visit Harvard University, where our child will be attending. After comparing various options on Ctrip, we chose this hotel based on its star rating, location, number of guests, and value for money. 1. The room has windows on two sides, offering bright and airy views, but the windows are closed and cannot be opened, making it feel stuffy. 2. As a couple with a child, we found the sofa bed to be very large (1.5 meters), accommodating 3-4 people in one room, which was good. 3. However, the metal joints of the sofa bed legs were very sharp, causing cuts to our calves. After reporting this, the housekeeping staff came and carefully wrapped the bed legs with tape, but this issue seems to be a common problem. When we requested compensation, housekeeping (or the engineering department) said they would report it to the front desk, as claims were not under their jurisdiction. The front desk manager initially said, ”Personal accident, no compensation,” but after a follow-up phone call, she said they could only provide breakfast for three people for one day and a few bottles of water free of charge. Review: American hotels don't offer free bottled water, toiletries like toothbrushes and toothpaste, or kettles (though ice water is available on the first floor). There are also no slippers; you should bring your own. Overall, the location is downtown, with a subway station nearby. It's clean, spacious, and worth recommending."

"This hotel is located in the safest area in Boston, facing the sea, with a good view! However, the facilities are relatively old, and the service is really hard to describe. I feel that several front desks are incomprehensible and sloppy; they have paid in full in advance and have been repeatedly informed, and the room fee has been swiped twice. If there is no instant message on the credit card , will muddle along in a daze, I am really convinced, and I have no apologies for making mistakes, and I have fully felt the maddening casualness and sloppyness, and the service is poor!"
