walkable location, clean rooms, responsive staff
have stayed in several hotels in this area and in terms of price, location and service this is a great deal. the staff from front desk to room service and valet were excellent - helpful, attentive and prompt. room was quiet, clean and large enough for two. the restaurant has good, fresh, healthy fare. restaurants arent posh but nice and comfy for a good meal. Valet is $42/day with in/out privileges. there are a number of self park garages in the one block radius as well. cab stand adjacent to hotel and the T station is around the corner on Columbus. The hotel is a short walk to the commons, Newbury st and sights. all in all a hotel to come back to for sure.

Birthday weekend getaway for two
My boyfriend and I stayed the weekend to celebrate my birthday. The location was excellent. We were walking distance to great restaurants, Boston Common, Copley Square, etc. We were able to check in early with no hassle. The room was clean and the hotel gave two complimentary bottled waters a day. Bed was comfortable with great, soft sheets. Room had central AC with heater for the cold nights. Heated towel bar in the bathroom was a plus. Bar downstairs was very nice as well. Overall we had an excellent experience and we would definitely go back.

Convenient location for touring Boston
My wife and I had a great time in Boston and the Back Bay Hotel was a large part of it. Boston hotels are all pretty pricey but this was more reasonable than most and was conveniently located in the Back Bay. It was just one block away from Newbury Street and a few blocks away from the Public Gardens. The T (what Boston calls the subway) was also very convenient and we toured Faneuil Hall and the North End.

Great weekend
This hotel has a great location. A five minute walk from 2 T stops. It has two places to eat within the hotel. The staff was very attentive. The room was excellent-heated beach size towels, a refrig and safe, comfortable bed, very quiet, great toiletries-just to name a few. We hope to be back next year on our annual trip.

Where are we going next
good couples escape
Hotel was very clean and staff were very courteous, professional, and helpful. For a Boston downtown hotel, the room was fairly large with a spacious bathroom. The walk-in shower was great! The hotel was modern and stylish. Only complaint would be that there was a bit of noise from a nearby nightclub/bar with music audible from our 7th floor room. Otherwise though, the room and hotel were great and we would stay there again. There were lots of great dining choices within a 5 minute walk and the hotel was close to theaters like the Wang Center and Wilbur Theatre. The hotel is easily accessed from the Mass Pike. I have stayed in a lot of Boston hotels over the years, and this was definitely one of the best!

We used valet because the weather was awful, but there are several parking garages nearby which offer online coupons, so if you didn't have a lot of bags, you may want to consider parking and walking to the hotel.
