Hotel was really nice, and the location is great. Lots of eating and shopping nearby. It's right across the street from the commons.
Except food and kitchen service (messed up my Biryani) every thing was great. Only request I made was to make Biryani without raisins but they forgot. We’re not even apologetic enough.
The bed was hard and uneven. Wallpaper was peeling. The room walls were paper thin and I heard people in each room next door. The breakfast had a good selection but the food quality was just ok. Disappointing for a hotel as storied as the Taj.
We enjoyed the experience of staying at this classy old school hotel in a fabulous location on Boston Common. Just need to accept the older character.
The Taj Boston is the definition of refined elegance and old guard requirements... with modern conveniences abound. The hotel is beautiful. The staff friendly, certainly exceeding any expectations. My room was incredible, facing the park.... old world charm. Wonderful bath... shower, products and fluffy towels. The large king size bed.... a dream! Beautiful and comfortable appointments. Excellent room service and an amazing bar in the hotel. The management team is the best.... everyone was helpful... absolutely a wonderful three nights.... Cannot wait to return.
This is in Back Bay right on the park and surrounded by luxury shopping. The hotel would have been really nice 20 years ago. It's high end for the time period and kept clean but it just feels outdated and things yellow over time no matter how clean they are kept.
The Taj is located in a Amazing and funny area. So rounded by big chains, bars, restaurants and big garden. The team is fantastic with special attention to Mr. Charlie from Restaurant of hotel. I couldn't choice better place to stay in Boston. Cheers
Great front desk staff, amenities and rooms. Their concierge staff was lacking and failed to provide advertised complementary services after several calls over several hours. Other than that, it is a pretty nice hotel.
The Taj couldn't have been in a better location for exploring Boston. Do yourself a favor and be sure to book a park view room.
Perfect location Beautiful bar area Beautiful views of the Public Garden
Great location for high end shopping and cute restaurants along Newberry Street. Right on the Boston Gardens which are beautiful. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great hotel!
Can only say our stay was terrific in every way. Customer service is too notch. Not the hustle bustle of the big chain hotels, perfect location and great amenities. Will be staying at the Taj again!
Very pleasant experience. Enjoyed our stay there very much.
Old, clean, pretty comfortable. No in room coffee
Location location location. In the heart of Boston's back bay - easy to walk to Copley, downtown even to Fanuel Hall
The hotel was cleanly and in a fabulous location. I felt that the front desk could have been a little more helpful and friendly. When we arrived they said our room wasn't ready. So we went through the whole tagging of the bags for them to store, only to get called 5 minuets later saying the room was ready all along. Then she asked me for the bag tags like I was a stranger trying to steal my own luggage. ( I hadn't even left the lobby yet) That whole thing put the stay off to a weird start. Many employees acted very stiff. It was a toss up if you were going to get a friendly hotel employee or not. The gentleman who took our bags to the room was an absolute sweet heart, super friendly guy. Over all the hotel experience was ok but, probably will try another location when we go to Boston again.
In town for a wedding, was most concerned about location. Great location and good value for the room.
We only stayed one night, but that night was great! We booked a suite with a fireplace, but I didn't know until we checked in that it was a real wood burning fireplace with your choice of wood to burn (Oak and Cherry for us). They allowed us to check in a little early and extended checkout a couple extra hours since we had a very late show to go to that night and wanted to sleep in a bit. The bed was very comfortable. Everything about the experience was great!
excellent location. ok hotel. would sty there again. steer away from the cocktails at the bar
Great location but rooms look a little tired. Seems like a Fairmont type property. Maids knocked on the door three times morning of check out prior to 10am trying to come in and make up room for next guest. Not appreciated as had a young child with me. Not bad, but one of worst Taj properties I have stayed at and looks like it has not been updated since it was a Ritz. New Ritz much better.
