We were able to have a luxurious experience at an affordable price which is almost impossible to find in Boston. We had our privacy but assistance immediately available if needed just a text away. Our room was incredibly beautiful and spacious. We look forward to telling our friends and staying here again hopefully in the near future.

Great location for end of day relaxing

This was a great place to stay while attending a conference at the convention center. Close enough to walk there quickly, but far enough removed that you could relax at the end of the day. I made use of the rooftop hot tub twice during the stay -- it was just too appealing, even when it was snowing in January! There was no breakfast due to Covid, but they left bananas and cookies, which was nice. There was also no elevator, so be aware that you're going to have to carry your luggage up several flights of stairs! The Loxe app has a lot of bugs (see the app reviews), but the owners communicated well and we we were able to resolve all the issues before my arrival. Had no issues with the app after that. Bed was comfy, shower had great pressure, overall very comfy. Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Boston.

Best Bed and Breakfast in Boston!

Absolutely stunning Bed and Breakfast in Boston South end! The owners Steve and Bobby go way above and beyond to make your stay comfortable.
Check in- is done easy using the LOXE APP. You are able to check in, gain entry and access your room all through the app.
Parking- just a wee bit of a challenge. It is the south end after all. I recommend quick double park, drop your bags and then head down to the parking garage on Berkley Street ( 0.3mi).
Once back at the Clarendon, you will be able to appreciate the Old south end ,meets updated construction! Everything is updated and impeccably clean.
Rooms- 4 poster comfortable beds, big tv, and stocked refrigerator! Extremely clean bathrooms with plenty of linen.
Rooftop- the only one in the city with a hot tub!!! Amazing views and super fun and clean.
The hosts- you absolutely will not find better hosts anywhere!! Stephen and Bobby go to great lengths to assure your comfort and enjoyment!!! I wish I had more characters to be able to write!!! 5 stars!! Will keep coming back!!

Clarendon Square Bed and Breakfast is a beautiful property in a great location. The proprietors were great hosts offering assistance with other aspects of our stay in Boston. I would not recommend bringing a car to this location as parking is very limited (two spaces @$30 a day), and you can easily take public transportation to any other part of Boston with a quick walk to the station. The only negative for us was that breakfast didn't come with the price of the stay, it would have been an additional $16 each daily. We are not huge breakfast people, just prefer something light so that wasn't worth it to us.

Great place to stay in walkable Boston!

For some reason, this review app would not let me rate Clarendon as Outstanding in any category. If it would - my rating would be 5, 5, 5, 4, 3.



The design aesthetic at Clarendon is phenomenal. Each room in the home is well designed (living, sitting, dining, etc) and the room we stayed in was one of a kind - with extensive closet space, a soaking tub, two headed shower, desk, living and sleeping quarters. We came in to jazz music which allowed us to relax right into our stay.



The pre-stay communication was well done and thorough and I felt as though the Clarendon team had been very thoughtful about each component of their guest's stay. The location is walkable to many historic sites and restaurants - as well as shopping.



Breakfast was casual but high quality and the tea selection offered was best in class. The option to take breakfast outside or in one of many living areas was very nice.



We would definitely come back!

A Hidden Gem in the Back Bay / South End

The only issue I encountered was when first trying to get in. I didn’t receive the expected email for instructions on how to enter and didn’t get a response to my texts from the manager on-duty, so it probably took a good 15 minutes in front of the door before the off-duty manager was able to get me through.

Awesomely, though, the off-duty manager stayed on the line with me until I was able to find my room.

And what a room it was. Lovely fireplace, beautiful and comfortable bed, cozy chair and ottoman, spacious bathroom, and well-appointed throughout.

I didn’t get to take advantage of the continental breakfast because I usually got up too late, but the Clarendon is so close to everything that I had every option I could imagine.

The Clarendon, although tucked away within a beautiful brownstone on a sleepy street, is only 5-10 minutes away from great restaurants and bars, Copley Place, the Boston Public Library, and more.

If I ever get to treat myself again to a “relax and recharge” vacation, I would absolutely stay at the Clarendon again.

Clarendon Square Bed and Breakfast has become more for us than merely a great place to stay. My husband and I have stayed there multiple times. I think this last time in April 2018 was 3 or 4. We are in Boston often. Clarendon Square has become our home away from home. It's the great location, the fantastic breakfasts, attention to detail, and more. We have one daughter in college at Boston now; and, a graduate student starting school this fall. Adam and Christine have helped us so much with helpful information about Boston. We will be back.

One of the Nicest Places We've Ever Stayed

My husband and I stayed in the luxury suite for three nights in early April, 2018. We loved it! The suite was beautiful, comfortable, and spacious. The bathroom was gorgeous--a true spa bathroom. We particularly appreciated the rooftop hot tub after long days of touring in chilly weather. We didn't need to use them, except for breakfasts, but there were three other common guest areas: the dining room, the parlour, and the library. All were beautifully decorated. The location was great: a lovely street lined with brownstones, just a short walk to the T, restaurants, and shopping. Stephen and Bobby were charming and welcoming hosts. If we ever return to Boston, we wouldn't consider staying anyplace else. This was our favourite accommodation in North America!

Almost like living in a home

Not sure that I can add to all the other 5 star rating but they are all well desired. It's like living in a meticulous well cared for home. Service and attention to details were exceptional. Just need to be aware that it's a walk-up. Rooms are 2, 3 or 4 floors up. They handle luggage. It wasn't a problem for us but one needs to be aware.

Lacking empathy and understanding

I booked for the wrong date (march instead of may). I called 2.5 weeks out but no success. They offered $100 discount but i woulf have to book an extra night.

Not accomodating at all. Given the hotel is independant and free of bureaucracy of larger organizations you would think they would be able to adjust. Steven said he wish i had called earlier. It was 2.5 weeks out!

While the wrong date was completely my fault, it was an honest mistake and I was willing to pay for it but only $100 discount on 1,200 stay plus the 1,000 being flushed for booking the wrong night is a slap in the face.

Im sure its a nice hotel but theres no other way to show my complete dissatisfaction with their unwillingness to make reasonable changes.

A beautiful place to stay

We spent a wonderful and relaxing weekend at the Clarendon Square Bed & Breakfast, and have absolutely no complaints! It is conveniently located in the south End of Boston (very close to many restaurants, not far from Copley Square in Boston, and not far from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts), the room (a suite) was fabulous, super comfortable with sufficient light for reading, beautifully decorated and quiet, with the hosts/hostesses very helpful. The breakfast (breads and muffins, fruit, yogurts, excellent coffee, hard boiled eggs, etc.) was also very tasty and very attractive. The only (small) complaint was that the room was serviced in the late afternoon (on a Saturday), which was the time that we returned from our day out. Having the room serviced while at breakfast would have been ideal.

perfect anniversary

This place is an absolute gem! Each room is detailed beautifully. It was the perfect anniversary get-away we were looking for. It was intimate and cozy, and the 24 hour access to the rooftop jacuzzi was a delight! We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The hosts were gracious and so helpful with recommendations. It was certainly unforgettable, and we can't wait to come back!

The cream of the crop!

Everything about the Clarendon Square B&B was delightful...the room, the staff, the food and even the other guests.

The rooftop hot tub was a highlight of the trip for me.

The bed was extremely comfy, the breakfast was classy and delicious offering many gluten-free options, and the fruit was fresh?pastries were outstanding ( and I am a pastry Chef-if that means anything ;)

A quick walk to great restaurants in a safe neighborhood. Close to Northeastern University where my daughter visited for college options.

Being fit is helpful because there are five sets of stairs each leading to more beautiful rooms.

I was excited there was a baby grand piano. The common living area is beautiful and I only wish I had had the time to curl up with a good book there. Perhaps next time.

Rooftop Hot Tub

It is an experience you must have for yourself to truly appreciate. If you enjoy special instead of the norm in hotel accommodations you will discover this gem here. You will also find a copy of my book on their shelf for your review.

Oasis in Boston

This is a romantic and comfortable Inn B&B. The rooftop hot tub is the 'icing on the cake' here!! A lovely neighborhood near Back Bay Train Station/Amtrak. A must to stay here while in Boston!

First Time - Phenomenal Place

This was our first time staying at a B&B and Steven made us feel like we were home. The place is immaculate. We stayed in the Luxury Suite and had the entire floor to ourselves. If you want to relax in the city, this place is legit.

Anniversary celebration in Boston

We can't say enough about Clarendon Square Bed and Breakfast. We could not have picked a better place to celebrate our anniversary. The inn is beautiful, the location was perfect, and the hosts, Stephen and Bobby were friendly, helpful and went out of their way to help make it a special and memorable weekend for us. We look forward to our next visit.

Charming...comfortable...quick walk to sites..

Wonderful experience was enhanced greatly by Salvador's and Melissa's great hospitality! Wonderful information and help to acquaint us with the city and how to get around. We had a fabulous time even- in the cold and snow. Evening hot drink and a simple snack for guests was so enjoyable as we came in from the cold. The rooftop hot tub and city scape at night was a highlight! Comfortable bed and wonderfully sized room with window seat and chairs. Thank you! Thank you!

A quiet and romantic honeymoon

My husband and I stayed here after our civil wedding, even though we live in Boston, we wanted a quiet staycation to celebrate. The space is cozy and beautifully decorated and we felt welcomed and taken care of by staff. A much friendlier, homey environment than a big chain hotel, but cleaner and more luxury than an airbnb! Recommended.

Quaint and comfortable

My husband and I chose Clarendon Square Bed and Breakfast as our spot for our anniversary. It was an excellent choice! We were happy with the location (quiet, but a fairly easy walk from Back Bay and Copley stations), with a number of restaurants and other things to do in an easy walking distance also. The room was comfortable and we very much enjoyed the decor. We're just finishing up breakfast now and enjoyed it very much! Thank you!

An unexpected gem

In a city of big expensive hotels it was so wonderful to find this beautiful property to stay at that had all the personality and warmth that is lacking in the big hotels. I will definitely be returning on my next stay in Boston!

Lovely Spot with hidden gems!

The highlight of my stay was chatting with Salvador over the lovely breakfast and the highpoint of the stay was the use of the hot tub on the roof on a wintry day!



The rooms are beautifully decorated, with a lot of amenities. It's very quiet and I appreciated the ease of entry and departure.

Clarendon Square B&B was absolutely amazing.

We came into Boston for just two nights and our stay at Clarendon was a highlight. The building is absolutely beautiful and the attention to detail was superb. The hot tub was incredible and the hosts were perfect. If I come back to Boston, I hope to stay there again.

My new home in the South End

One could not ask for a more welcoming and comfortable environment. The house is beautifully decorated. Attention to detail and comfort is above and beyond. One feels like one could be at home. The dining onsite is breakfast only. It was very nice with lots of choices.

Clarendon Square Inn

I stayed at The Clarendon Square Inn for 2 nights in November and I had such a wonderful experience. As soon as I arrived I was warmly greeted by Salvador, the Inn manager who welcomed me and took my bags up to the room. The moment I walked in I felt at home. As someone who has stayed at a number of 5 star hotels around the world, this was by far one of the best experiences I've had. The Inn had the luxurious feel of a 5 star hotel but the personal and cosy touch of a bed & breakfast.



The room was absolutely beautiful - very luxurious, comfortable and very clean. Bobby and Stephen, the owners of the Inn, were there when I arrived and very kindly showed me to my room.



What I loved most about my stay were the personal touches - the cookies in my room, the attentiveness by Salvador, Bobby and Stephen. Bobby made some great restaurant recommendations based on my needs/wants and I had a great dinner at Bar Mezzana.



I highly recommend staying at The Clarendon Square Inn. It was a very special experience. I can't wait to come back again!

Room None-Cleanliness

TOWELS:
Though, the room looked clean, I realized, the towels everyday were not washed everyday. Showering on my third day of stay, I noticed a dirt stain on the towel from my own previous use. Without washing, They just take the towel, I left in the room (possibly on the ground) and just fold nicely and put it back again in the bathroom. I find this very unhealthy and unprofessional.

BREAKFAST,
It was Ok, except on the last day I decided to have a strawberry-yogurt. The yogurt tasted like spoiled (possibly stored long time in the fridge). I did not checked the expiration date though but I did not eat it.

Elevator,
There is not elevator, You have to take all your baggers from the stair. My room was on the forth floor (good exercise though)
