Okay all in all. Service at the restaurant was awful. From desk were kind. Room was nice but one day water were cold. Shower towels were in shortage on second night and pretty low quality. One room barely had a window.

I always go back to this hotel - ideal location and great rooms but unpretentious. Love having the clothing steamer and nespresso machine in the room. Restaurant is just okay but there are so many other options within walking distance.

Our stay was exceptional. Nick at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful. Also the other staff. Our first night the bell boy ga e us ideas where to eat. The hotel itself is very beautiful. Well maintained. In a very nice neighborhood. Close to the public garden, copley square, copley plaza, Newbury street and prudential center. We loved our stay at AKA and will be back for sure!

El edificio es una hermosa propiedad de estilo clásico.
Lo malo, las maniobras intentadas por la persona que nos atendió a la hora del check in para tratar de cambiar el tipo de habitación que habíamos reservado y que nos obligó a contactar a Expedia para que respetara la reservación. Esa persona nos mintió abiertamente e hizo que nuestro check in durara cerca de 2 horas.

The best features of the hotel are the location, staff, and minimalist styling. The somewhat annoying feature is that the bars' patios are located alongside the main entrance and seem to be very busy every day after work hours. On the days we were there it was pretty loud and boisterous every time we entered and exited the hotel in the early evenings. The truly bad features were the very very loud AC unit that would kick in every twenty minutes or so and the lumpy, too soft mattresses.

Wonderful location convenient to purple commuter rail + orange T (metro) line. Walking distance to good shopping and food. Also relatively easy ride to and from the airport. Spacious clean rooms and helpful staff. I am very likely to make it where I stay from here on out in Boston.

This is a superb hotel. Great gym and extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Really comfy bedding and amazing shower.

One note to travelers- if you use the expensive ($68) valet parking then you need to call for your car far in advance. Last night it took 45 minutes from texting, this morning it took a half hour to get the car.

The guys who work the valet are very nice and try hard, but the valet garage is far away. This $68 was not well spent - it caused annoyance and made us late for dinner.

We visited on June 10-11 2026. The room rates were very high, there was a worldwide soccer event within two days. The air vents in the room bathrooms were full of fuzz. There was considerable construction on the property, it was nearly impossible to access the valet parking. The staff members were very personable. Not sure that we would re-book, based on the pricing.

I had a poor experience with a lost item. I left my e-reader in my hotel room after checking out and called every day including the day I checked out. For a couple days, the staff would just tell me to call again the next day to check so I feel like absolutely no effort was being made to look for my item. Very frustrating uncaring attitude. I didn’t get my item back even though I’m sure I left it in the hotel room.

Only question was last day there stepped out for 1/2 hour before checking out and our room was unlocked when we came back and we had mini bar charges on our bill from the last morning that we never touched. Yes we got that reimbursed.

This hotel received great reviews, but I found it just to be good, not great. The room was so minimal that it was uninviting. The bathroom was actually very nice, but there was toothpaste or something on our countertop and the floor didn’t look clean. I spoke to the front desk and they sent someone up immediately, which was appreciated. With all of the interesting hotels in Boston, I’m not sure I’d say this is a must try unless you like the minimalist style.

They double charged me for my ony marathon morning boxed breakfast. They only gave me one $15 credit for using their restaurant even though we stayed 3 days and ate at their restaurant every day. According to their FAQ page, you're supposed to get one credit every day as part of the $35 a day \"resort fee\". Be prepared for quite a bit of street noise. Lots of sirens, horns honking and thumping car stereo
