“Perfect Hotel ,Location & Staff”

My 2 boys 15 & 11 and I stayed at the Back Bay for three nights. The staff and management could not have been nicer. The food in the restaurant Cuffs and service was fantastic. It was conveinent to subway and taxi's. From the minute we arrived we were treated like honored guests. I would go back there anytime.

Area recommendations
Downtown Boston, The Union Oyster House was great . We enjoyed our tour of Harvard and Fenway Park.

“Great stay in Boston”

My wife and I stayed at the Back Bay for a few days R&R this past weekend. We had stayed at another large chain hotel earlier in the week in Cambridge for business. The Back Bay was great with very good service. Nice bar and restaurant if you so choose. Good location; easy walk to Back Bay train station (took the train to the Patriots Monday Night Football Game); close to the Prudential center and an easy 1.5 mile walk into the heart of downtown and all the tourist attractions. A lot of good restaurants in the area (recommend: Luca for Italian upscale; Rustic Kitchen - good quality/very reasonable priced; some great steak houses nearby as well). Hotel beds very comfortable; turn-down service was nice Only suggestion for improvement is the speed and access to wireless in the room. While it was complimentary with the room we had, it was basically useless it was so slow. If we get back to Boston we will certainly stay here again.

Area recommendations
Prudential Center area/mall; Newbury street shopping; downtown sites

“Perfect Location!”

I have stayed here several times before and have enjoyed it but I think this recent trip was the best. They have a busy bar off the lobby and it can be loud, but once you're upstairs, you don't hear any of it. A really nice staff and perfect location, being a few blocks from Newbury Street and the South End Neighborhood. The room service was quick and the staff were all very gracious!

Area recommendations
Back Bay and South End for restaurants, historic element.

“Lovely hotel, great location, beautiful city!”

The Back Bay Hotel is a great hotel, clean rooms, spacious bathrooms, friendly staff. It is located close to shopping, and is easy to get around as you are very close to car rental agencies and the subway lines. The Stanhope Grill was not open for two of the nights we stayed, so that was disappointing, but the Cuffs Irish Pub was good, had great chicken fingers and fries!

Area recommendations
I really only saw the Back Bay area and the area around the UMASS/JFK subway stop, so can't really address this. The Back Bay area is beautiful.

“Great Hotel”

Visited Boston for fun and had heard the Back Bay was the right section of Boston to stay in. Hotel was the best combination of price and comfort, compared to the others in the neighborhood. Staff was very helpful, bed was very comfortable, location was great. Would stay again.

“Nice location. Not done for family”

We booked through Expedia a double-room for our family. As we arrived to the hotel, they gave us a single room with a roll-over bed. It is a nice hotel but not done for families. Staff is friendly but do not look for extra effort. Confort of the room can be improved, especially the AC that is quiet loud. Overall not a "5 Star Luxury" hotel.

Area recommendations
Location is good in the middle of the action of Boston (Back Bay, Beacon Hill, etc.).

“Great Hotel in Back Bay”

We had family who lived close by in Back Bay, so this location is ideal. You can pretty much get anywhere you need to from here, and there is fantastic shopping (Newbury St) just a few blocks away. Also, you have tons of restaurants and sightseeing at your disposal from here. Room Service was good one day, fantastic the next, would highly recommend Cuffs Pub for a late night cocktail and lively atomosphere. Staff is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Great people, and we are super picky.

Area recommendations
Back Bay, Beacon Hill, North End....all have lots to offer!
Getting around
Use the T! You do not have to cab it everywhere, the T is really easy and economical.
