Location - very convenient to restaurants, chinatown, theaters, and Boston Common. Half mile walk from South Station for bus/trains. Building is older, but clean. Bedding and towels were clean and of the quality of a 3-4 star hotel. Had a \"shared bathroom\" situation, which was fine, except sometimes the bathroom doors were closed and no one was in them. Helps if people leave them open to know they are available, or perhaps management could add one of those red/green locks to know from the outside. Had our own A/C unit that we could set to our own temp. Halls/stairs were rather warm. Natural light from a window, but view was of a shaft area and other windows, so we kept the blinds mostly closed. Our room had very high ceiling, which made it seem more spacious. A small refrigerator and coffee pot were conveniently in the room, as well as a larger shared kitchen with other supplies such as toaster, microwave, tableware, etc.

This should be classified as a somewhat upscale hostel, rather than something called a \"suite\". Maybe I missed something when I was looking at the description, but the photos and the listing definitely did not properly convey that this room shared bathrooms and kitchen space with the other rooms on the floor.
The room was clean, and the common areas were as well, but it was definitely a surprise to me that the room did not have its own bathroom and shower.

The windows looked out onto an air shaft. The room had been somewhat cheaply flipped to become a hotel room. The coffee pot had a hole in it and leaked coffee all over the counter. The couch was somewhat uncomfortable. The location was excellent. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The automated check-in was easy. All in all, fine but not great.

Good value and location (extremely close to the entrance to the MBTA station). Does not include parking, but I recommend parking overnight at the Boston Commons, it wasn't as expensive there as other garages.

The room was good, but lacking proper basics (the actual hook for hanging towels was missing). The coating on the bathtub was peeling, the AC was haphazardly installed, also would've liked one additional bath towel. Okay for the price.

Wish they had a sign for the name of the place or the number 29 Temple actually on the door, it was on the front awning which made it difficult to tell we were in the correct place unless you saw it from across the street.

Endroit très bien situé, tout près des lieux touristiques et très abordable! Les salles de bain partagées n'étaient malheurseument pas assez propres. L'eau s'accumulait dans la douche. Il n'y avait pas de place pour accrocher serviettes et vêtements dans les salles de bain, le temps de prendre sa douche. L'eau est devenue tiède froide à un certain moment. Il vaut mieux emmener son savon et shampooing, malgré que ça disait être inclus. Nous n'avons pas utilisé la cuisine commune.

Never received the check-in email that was promised with entry codes. Had to make a phone call on arrival to get check-in information from someone who had a gaggle of kids and a dog making a ruckus on their end.

Elevator is out of service indefinitely with no appearance of maintenance being performed to bring it back into service. This was a vexatious greeting to arrive to after a long day of travel and learning we'd been assigned to a room on the 5th floor.

Bunk beds are extremely wobbly, and if your bunkmate turns over, you will be along for the ride as the frame sways.

Room seems superficially clean. There may be statements explicitly forbidding smoking in the building, but when the other upstairs/downstairs/next door tenants (who perceive themselves to be exempt from rules) take a puff, you will just have to lay in bed and pray for the stench to clear quickly.

I will start with the positive aspect. The location is excellent, just a half block from Boston Commons and within walking distance lot great restaurants, bars, shopping and historic sites.
Now for the negative. The biggest problem is that the entryway and elevator smells like a combination of sour cooking grease and vomit. They empty grease from neighboring restaurants through the space. No one should operate a hostelry that smells like this at any price.
While the advertising made the hotel look pretty fixed up, the reality is pretty bleak. When the building was renovated, they apparently spent as little as possible. The ceilings have random pipes here and there, half removed heating vents, and the fixtures are super cheap. Both the hallways and the rooms have a tarnished look and feel. The windows also allow in a lot of street noise. Given the good location whoever owns the property should gut and restore the building into a different hotel. I recommend finding another place to stay in central Boston even if it costs more.

First time giving a review on hotels.com , the water was not hot for most of the stay. We heard everything from outside, so our child was up most of the night. The TV was not connected and we could not watch the World Cup. The lift seemed very dodgy as well. Good location though but well over priced for what we got.

Booked this because the price was so good for a full week. I was naturally unsure what exactly to expect but actually the place was great. The room was very clean and the beds were comfy and well made. The Aircon worked very well and there was a fridge. So the only thing is the shared bathroom but they are kept very clean and we had no problems. Security is also good. The location is perfect for visiting Boston. Lastly the amenities were useful (coffee machine, microwave and kitchen nearby).

The parking is difficult, but SpotHero helped, plan on a minimum of $24/night in a cheap spot. Downtown and close to everything. Loved the walkability. Close to public transit both bus and subway. Good communication. Room was clean. However, the blinds were broken and the air conditioner/heater was very loud. It is a bit inconvenient to have to uplug it to use the other appliances as well. The coffee maker cord was too short to extend to an outlet unless it was sitting on the floor. Love the large fridge, microwave, TV, sitting area. Walls are thin. It is nice that the bathrooms are private, but the public use of them creates a lack of cleanliness that is understandable, but should be considered

This will be the first time that I write a review on Hotels.com. I write this hoping to deflect others who may be considering these \"suites\". I had to book a hotel for contract work in Boston and had to be downtown within a reasonable rate for the company paying me. I looked for a hotel that advertised free cancellations (just in case). This hotel advertised free cancellations on its front webpage banner but it was slightly over the budgeted amount. I booked it anyway. My host company then offered me another hotel option. When I went to cancel this one, I found out it wasn't refundable. My fault I should have read the fine print what they advertised on the first page was accurate. I was now stuck. Then I arrived. I expected a certain standard for the money being paid.
The good things: The check in was easy and I made it into the room without issue. The room I stayed in was clean.
The bad things...The shower of Saturday was fine but the extremely cold shower on Sunday morning at 6:30 am certainly woke me up. (BTW, I ran the shower for 10 minutes hoping it would at least warm up...it did not).
These are not \"suites\" (communal washrooms and a communal kitchens (old and run down) do not make it a suite.
Outside of the room, the rest of the building was old and in need of repair. And what is that smell in the lobby and up the stairwell?
My advice. Do not book! I could complain to the owner but I know I won't get any sort of refund so instead I decided to warn others.

I am extremely disappointed with this stay. I have never had such an experience till date. I have traveled to so many countries and this stay was one if its kind. The problem was multifold. The door code sent to me didn't work and I stayed out of the room for nearly 1h trying to contact the owner. Interestingly even after repeated insistance that the code was not workjng, i was asked to try the same wrong code for mote than 20 minsm Finally the owner sent me a new code after resetting at their end, which they could have done in a second when I couldn't enter.
There was a water cooler inside the room but its exhaust was broke. So if it cooled the room from the front, it heated the room from the reverse. It was 90 F inside the room during the day with no reprive. Additionally the exhaust connection to the window was also broke.
Finally and the most interesting one was, the day i had to check out, my flight was at 530 am. As I was getting ready I found that there was no hot water. The water was ice cold at 3 AM To shower. The water pressure was also very low. It was very hard to shower. I am so fed up with this place. The bed was also pretty bad.

The shower is not functional. The temperature continuously cycles from cold to warm while the water pressure also cycles from decent to non-existent. I messaged the property manager through hotels.com, but they replied that they \"had the pump replaced already\" and to \"let it run for a while longer as it supplies the whole building.\" Letting the water run longer did not solve the issue, and the property manager offered no remedies beyond \"try harder.\"

The property's prime location is the key for this listing. The checkin process was confusing, as you have to go through four key-coded entries, all with different codes.

The property itself is in poor condition, including the room itself. The room could be easily repaired with a fresh coat of paint, but clearly no one has inspected the condition of the room in quite some time. The shower and the title in the bathroom were dirty, as if the grout had not been cleaned.

If it were properly maintained, the room itself serves its purpose. The bed and the linens were comfortable and clean, and the wall unit AC worked well. The kitchen is very lightly stocked with dishes for no more than two people, and two coffee pouches were provided for a 3-night stay for 2 people. There were sugar packets, but the creamer had been expired for almost a year.

This listing shouldn't have been priced any higher than a roadside motel given its condition. Proceed with caution.

What a fun hidden treasure right in the heart of Boston! We loved this property. It was less than a block from the Boston Common. Getting in was safe and secure. I couldn't believe how responsive the hosts were. Every time I messaged them (use the Expedia App —it's the fastest), they responded within an hour — even at 2 am!

We had a small issue with our AC unit, it was fixed by the time we returned from our outing.

For the price, I had pretty low expectations-- I was blown away! The beds were super comfy, and the room was clean and tidy.

I did think I was getting a room with a full-size couch and was disappointed to find it was a mini couch, but the bed was big and comfortable, so it easily accommodated two adults.

The TV doesn't have service; it is there for you to log in to your own services if you would like. We didn't mind, we were too busy enjoying the city.

The bathrooms were cleaned daily, and the other guests were very considerate; we had no issues with messes or waiting. The hot water in the showers does fluctuate; be aware. Plenty of towels were provided.

The kitchen is pretty basic, but we appreciated the microwave, some cutlery, and the sink for washing up. The mini-fridge in the room was great for our needs.

Not to mention the hotel doesn't inform you when there is roadworks right outside working to 2am in the morning. The hotel is old smelly and should be rated as a 1 or 2 star hotel.

The doors were paper thin and you could hear everything that went on around including the bar below. We stayed on the second floor. It was either dead quiet or super noisy.
The host were wonderful to work with though, our room was ready a little bit ahead of check-in time, and they let us check in without charging us extra, which I sincerely appreciated!

Knowing what I was getting into based on the reviews of previous guests, I was not shocked by the state of the hotel. I will say though I did not feel at ease staying there by myself. There was no way for me to bolt the door, and while it automatically locks on the outside when it’s closed, having the additional security would have been reassuring. The private suite was cleaned but not thoroughly (a previous guest’s claw clip was on the floor). Clean towels and sheets were provided. I enjoyed having my own oven, fridge, and microwave to myself, which to me is worth paying slightly more for. There were plenty of cups, bowls, plates, and utensils to use. It would elevate the aesthetic of this hotel if they took the time to make small repairs and clean the walls/touch up paint. The elevator was sketchy but I didn’t mind using it. The TV worked fine too. The hosts were very responsive and kind, and I wouldn’t mind staying again.

I was a solo business traveler for 1 night. The room was clean, easy check in and communication. Location is great. Bed was clean and comfy. It is a smaller room so for 1 person for a night or 2 is good.

Housekeeping staff promptly met my requests for room cleaning to remove dust from blinds. Hot water came on eventually. Sheets and towels were clean. However, the entire hotel is both dirty (for example, carpets need a deep clean) and shabby. Shabby is OK, it’s not a big deal to have worn or out-of-date furnishings, but the grimy rugs and broken fixtures indicated lack of attention by managers to fundamentals.

Easy to find, great area to stay for a show, late night bar/restaurant across the street-was quiet as a neighbor but we were able to eat & drink after a concert.

Shared bathroom was always accessible when we wanted it. Bring your own toiletries-I don’t know why I didn't think of that. Room was so much bigger than we expected. Beds were very comfortable, tv was plenty big enough to enjoy. Full kitchen was also available to us which I didn’t realize we would have! Nice feature.

For a shared bathroom, it was rarely (if ever?) cleaned. For the three days we were there, the hand soap was never refilled. Loud upstairs neighbors stomping around at all hours. Too mattress on the bed did not line up with the bottom mattress/box spring and it was constantly falling off.

I booked a queen bed and only had a full. Honestly, it didn't even seem like a full size. In addition to be too small for myself and spouse since we're both very tall, the bed sunk in the middle. Even more frustrating is they promised to check on the situation when we left and claimed that the bed was a queen. I have pictures proving the size. The building location was great. It seemed ok and we had no issues accessing the unit. We did have to wait five minutes for a distillery located in the basement to unload grains the elevator. This place was bare bones. We booked cheap because we figured we were only going to sleep there anyway. Unfortunately, we really didn't get to sleep there since we didn't fit on the bed. There was a two seat chair that I was able to sleep on in a fetal position. I do not recommend this property to anyone over 5'6\" or a BMI over 20.

The best thing about this place is the location. It is a half block from Boston Common and close to all the stores and restaurants in the downtown. Boston is a walking town, and from here, you can cover so much ground if you have good legs. The entry system was very good, and the management is very responsive to questions or needs. I was in a 6th floor studio apartment, which had everything I needed for a short stay. The whole building including the elevator (that only goes to 5th floor) is old and creaky, but this is downtown Boston. The toilet ran continuously the first day but as soon as I contacted the manager, it was fixed immediately. Unfortunately the 6th floor clothes washer was beyond repair, but the manager gave me the code to the 5th floor, and I was able to get my clothes washed and dried before I left for my next destination. As you can see from the photos, decor is not what makes this place stand out. It was definitely the location and price that sold me. There is a fair amount of city noise with garbage trucks and a bus stop below the building and impatient Boston drivers honking senseless behind them as they do their thing. All in all, I would stay here again under similar circumstances. One more thing, the shower was a pest with alternating hot and cold water that I could never to get figured out.

very good location, close to China Town with various good dining options. Also walking distance to many attractions. Clean room with a kitchenette. On arrival, the hot plate was not working and there was no kettle. Upon request, the issues were resolved the next day. It can be noisy some nights as it is close to the main street. Overall, it is a very good choice.

The room was clean and in good condition however the TV had very poor reception and the AC unit was a complete distraction through the night. The bathrooms need some work. Hot water was not available at times. The hallway carpets are in poor shape. The location is great. The communication is great.

Loved the apartment - would stay again

Great location downtown; perfect for sightseeing on foot. I felt safe as a solo female traveller. Excellent communication from property management - speedy and helpful when i had a question or repair. Well eqipped kitchen; also iron, hairdryer provided. Extremely comfortable bed - i slept brilliantly. Light sleepers should note there is some noise from the street/buses passing below.

The elevator was broken for the entirety of my stay and there was no communication about it prior to my stay. I was on the sixth floor and me and my two guests had to make multiple trips up carrying suitcases up the stairs. The couch was sat on one time and on the first sit one of the legs broke so the couch was unusable for the entirety of the stay.

This was more like a hostel than a hotel and there was no staff on site, which showed. The shared bathrooms were terrible with peeling wallpaper, rust, and generally didn't look like there was much upkeep besides basic cleaning. There was a random pvc pipe opening to nowhere sticking out in our room and the mini fridge was plugged into an extension cord. The area was central to downtown boston but given the property, I would rather rent something further out than this place again.

A good cheaper option for Boston! Right across from boston common/public gardens. Walking distance to everything. Shareable bathrooms were a little outdated, but everything worked. Rooms were clean and beds were super comfy! Area outside of the hotel gets a little loud after dark, but every door requires a code which felt safe.

I stayed in a private suite with bunk beds and a kitchenette. The room had a coffee pot, blender, dishes, utensils, and a dish drying rack. It had everything we would need, but I didn’t actually prepare anything. I booked this room for the location and economical price.
I loved the layout, with the love seat and tv in separate space away from the bed. I loved the ceiling fan!

Great location. Not great bathrooms.

The location was perfect. Right across from the commons. Right in the middle of all the freedom trail stops. The room itself was very clean and the beds were super comfortable.
The only thing I did not like was the shared bathrooms. There's some rusty spots, peeling wallpaper and they smelled very humid and musty. The fan in the closest bathroom was not working. You have to share with other people who might not wipe stuff down. So there was hairballs on the floor and loogies in the sink. So yeah...I spent as little time as possible in there. The only thing that makes this doable is that there are a couple bathrooms on the floor. So I suppose you can look for the cleanest one. But overall...if you are gonna spend most of your day out...this was a great location for a great price.

I knew what to expect from the description and reviews. I was pleased with it considering the price. The bathroom could use a little more regular attention and the water alternates from hot to cold in a pretty regular pattern, but look, it was clean enough and felt safe. I would recommend it to adults. I would not take kids there bc of the shared bath, but overall I was pleased.

The location is perfect. Our room was clean and comfortable. The scariest part of the stay is the shared bathroom. I would recommend bringing any disinfecting wipes because other guests can be gross and can’t clean up after themselves. The building could use some renovation. Overall I would rate my stay a 7/10.
