It’s in severe disrepair. There is mold on the bathroom ceiling. The walls are badly scuffed up. The laminate is pulling off the countertops. This is just a random apt. It’s not a boutique hotel property.

Good stay, older building but to be expected in a city like Boston. Didn’t realize the location is considered a hostel until we looked at the location on our map app. But I was sure I booked a room with a private bathroom so we didn’t have to share any of our space. Comfortable bed and room was spacious enough for 2. Bathroom clean as well. Easy check in with keypad on room door. Did have to carry our luggage up several flights of stairs.

This property is a self check in property and it has no management on site..we did know this beforehand. We arrived at 2 am. The front door lock to the building was damaged. As you enter the building you go into a very gloomy, dark, and ugly entrance. The building is about 200 years old and it is showing the lack of maintenance and updating. The stairs going up to the upper floors have subsided and as you walk up you have the sensation as if you were going to fall to the side. We got to the room on the third floor and we had booked a bedroom with queen bed but to our surprise, the frame of the bed was queen size but the mattress was for a double bed. In the morning when we got up, we found that one of the bath towels was dirty and the floor hadn't been hoovered therefore when walking without shoes on one could feel all sorts of bits on the feet. The water has very little pressure and it is hot or hot. We informed most of this to the managing agent and never received a reply. Think twice before you book here.

This is an odd place!! The location suited us and it was convenient to have a kind of kitchen. The sofa bed was surprisingly comfy.
The room is very tired and the carpet old. The room is VERY noisy - neighbouring room and road noise. We stayed during a sporting event weekend and the price was crazy for this type of accommodation, as it was for other places too.

I booked hoping for a quaint and unique experience, but it ended up being one of the WORST nights of sleep we’ve had while traveling. The bunk bed was extremely unstable and unsafe. It made loud noises with even the slightest movement, making it impossible for either of us to sleep. Even more concerning, the metal bars supporting the top mattress were coming loose and coming off entirely. That bed needs to be replaced immediately before someone gets hurt.

The rest of the room was not much better. The bathroom faucet would not properly turn off — you had to keep twisting it back and forth and basically guess where it might stop running. The carpet was dirty and clearly overdue for cleaning, the paint was peeling off the walls, and there were large cracks throughout the room that made the property feel poorly maintained.

On top of that, the noise from neighboring rooms and the hallway was clearly heard and loud. This is absolutely not a place to stay if you want a restful night’s sleep.

Save yourself the trouble and pay the extra money for a proper hotel. We learned the hard way after thinking this would be a charming alternative.

Check in wasn’t perfect for us, perhaps it was because we did a same day booking, but since there are no staff, you are remotely sent an access code to the front and your room door. But with the help of the team, we got in. The location of this place is amazing. The room is small, but perfectly stocked with everything you need for a short or even a long stay. We loved this hotel and we’ll be back!

The stay wasn’t bad at all, was skeptical at first because of the bad reviews but I actually liked the suite, the check in process was super efficient and was able to check in early, it was spacious, clean and provided necessities on top having a smart tv which a regular hotel never has. The place was close to a lot of walkable places which was a plus, didn’t really use the public bathroom much since it was a one night stay and my commute was only 1 hour but it was pretty small nothing too crazy. There’s also a housekeeper that comes around in the morning if anyone ever needed service since there isn’t actually any front desk to check in. Overall a decent stay for the value I wouldn’t mind sleeping here again, the reviews were misleading and I think this place this deserve at least 3 stars imo.

Looks cute in the photos. It’s actually a cute DUMP. The paint was chipping. The dishes were stored under the kitchenette sink under a nasty looking water pipe. The coffee pot wasn’t clean. The toaster wasn’t clean. The bathroom had cracked floor tile. The windows had NO insulation, so the noise from outside actually sounded like the windows were open. AND the view was of the highway. So that was noise All Night Long. The flue in the fireplace must have been broken because no matter which direction the handle was switched, cold air poured into the room. There was a floor-standing air-conditioner ear/heater that was suppose to be vented out the window, but wasn’t vented anywhere. If it was running, that was the only time I couldn’t hear the traffic on the highway. Instead that noise was replaced by a plane landing. The building must be shifting pretty badly because there was an angled 2” gap above the door. The stair up to the second floor were so narrow, the suitcase had to be held directly in front of whoever was carrying it up the stairs. AND the stairs were tilting toward the floor, so that they were angled and narrow. I was nervous to sleep on the sheets, but not really a choice. When I first walked into the room, there was a sickly-sweet smell. What were they trying to cover up?! Never went away the entire stay. Gave me a headache. Gross. Sounded like someone decided to vacuum at 1:00am. Shower: felt uncleared. plastic surround was patched. Only lukewarm water. YUCKY!!!

Do NOT listen to all of the negative reviews. When I first found this listing I was really unsure because there was so many bad reviews. I took a chance and booked anyway. The stay was phenomenal. Check in was super easy and the company/host was very responsive. Very close to train station as well. They sent text messages and even let us know the room was ready for check in around 2pm instead of waiting until 4pm check in. The room was super clean and nice. No issues with anything. Great location walking distance to downtown, south end, china town and more.

For the negative comments about shared bathrooms- they are perfectly fine!! We passed them several times in our 5 day stay and they were super clean and the halls smelled really good.


The only thing that could be a little better was hotter water for showering but outside of that amazing stay and shower was still warm. I made sure to take pictures because with all of the negative reviews- photos help.

This was the absolute worst \"hotel\" experience I have ever had. It was not a hotel nor an apartment - it was the equivalent of a dirty, crumbling hostel room. No hot water, no heat, broken furniture that was literally falling a part. Every inch of this unit was stained and falling apart, there was what looked like blood on the shower curtain. This 10000% felt like a scam. Looks NOTHING like the photos and management would not do anything about the situation. I am writing to Hotels.com to see if there is anything they can do, because this absolutely should not be on the platform. I also realized after our stay I looked at it on the hotels.com site and it said they were no longer on the platform.

Solid 2.5 if I could. Very nice bed, linens, towels. Building is charming and OLD: narrow uneven squeaky stairs. Nice paint job. Room not NEARLY as big as it looks — mine would not fit a bench line in the photos. Dishes sitting in the bottom of the cabinet of the sink, so VERY thankful for the fresh sponge & dish liquid. Bring AirPods/earplugs—door, stairs, highway and train are noisy. So is the HVAC, which drowned out all the other stuff. Easy to keep the room at comfortable temp. Super easy check in/out and very convenient to convention center. Expect what the reservation photos show, not what the property pics show. Doable but not as nice as portrayed.

The room is tiny, just big enough for the Queen size-bed and you have to step over the corners to go to the other side of the room. The bathroom was clean but also tiny.

At night on our last day, we kept hearing noises, and my wife noticed it was a rat chewing on the trash bag. That experience ruined it for us and we were more than ready to go!

After finding the rat, we did find mouse traps in the room. Also, we asked where to store the food trash to remove the temptation for the rats, but we were instructed to leave it in the room.

We wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Pay another $20-80/day and stay elsewhere.

I liked the door code check-in - it takes zero seconds. I also appreciate that I saved a lot of money on my stay.
I felt safe and the bedding was very nice.

The property is rather old and decades beyond needing a total renovation. A lot of repairs and maintenance are slipshod. Many fixtures look like they were purchased second hand and moved here. The doors have lots of filled holes from previous lock mounting, for example. The cold water was never cold, leaving the shower too hot to use.

If you're okay with hostels, this can be an okay choice, but it's not a \"hotel\".

An extensive list of rules they send you before check-in indicates they have problems with some guests; however, everyone during my mid-week stay was quiet and respectful.

There are many things I did not like:
1. Shabby - peeling paint and wallpaper
2. Bed uncomfortable. It did not fit into its space and I had to squeeze myself between the wall and the bed to get into it. I'm slim.
3. The electrical system does not support the requirements and the property would probably fail an electrical inspection. The GFCI breaker in the bathroom tripped on several occasions, probably because the light switch was hanging out of the wall. When I took a shower, the moisture build up probably caused the exposed wires in the light switch to short out. This is very hazardous indeed.
4. There was only regular coffee with the coffee maker - no decaf and no tea, which I like in the late afternoon.
5. The carpet was old and curled up at the corners and I had to be careful not to trip over it.
6. One window blind did not pull down to fill the window and thus people in the street could see in.
7. The shower itself had two tiles which had come unstuck. There was very little grout on the shower floor. Thus, the shower water was probably leaking into the ceiling below. The shower floor was made or durable tile and because two of them were completely loose and wobbly, you could injure your foot because the edges of the tiles were sharp.
8. On the first night, I got bitten by an insect. I didn't think much about it at the time but as time went by, the site of the bite got infected. When I returned home, I had to go to the emergency room. It turned out to be a spider bite.

The property is a bit run down albeit the location is pretty convenient. Parking in the area is difficult and expensive. I paid $45 for the closest paid open lot parking lot. Being that the street fronts the mass Pike, the traffic noise can be heard if the AC unit heater is not turned on. The room was small and not in the best condition, but given that its an old brownstone building some issues are to be expected. The pealing Wallpaper, and some materials used could be finished a bit better. On the positive side, the bedding was very comfortable and sheets and towels were clean.

This “hotel” was honestly one of the worst places that I’ve stayed. When they say shared bathroom, it’s more of a community bathroom shared between 6 random people. Although it was clean there were so many spiders in our room. We upgraded to a room with a private bathroom upon arrival after calling the “hotel” 10 times and being hung up on. No front desk and self check in, which is fine, but just know it’s hard to contact them. I am thankful for their communication via text after the 10 calls were made. It was super easy to upgrade. Unfortunately our private bathroom lacked hot water, as well as the water pressure was a 1 on a scale of 1-10. I didn’t have a decent shower all weekend because of this, but regardless you get what you pay for— for 3 nights you can pay a deviant amount of money and stay in a hostel type situation!

We so badly wanted to enjoy this property with only 24 hours to spend in Boston. The stairs are narrow, uneven and steep to carry heavy luggage. While we appreciated being able to drop our bags off early, we were charged a fee to leave them in a very messy room (cleaners hadn’t been in yet). We arrived at check in time and the room had been tidied. There was still loads of hair in the bathtub and bathroom floor and the room smelled mildewy and damp. We noticed lots of centipede-like bugs. The grout in the walls is cracking, bathroom fixtures and drains are rusting and the building looks to be very old and dirty n desperate need of repairs. The AC unit is very loud and left a pool of water on the floor. Would not recommend this property and will not stay again

We really liked this property; it's conveniently located on Newbury Street, with everything close by. The room was clean and comfortable.

Our only complaint was the 12 flights of stairs, we wish we had known about that before booking. We had a large suitcase, and carrying it up to the 4th floor was definitely not fun.

Otherwise, our stay was great!

Hi
The place was a bit outdated and can use some upgrade. The microwave is one good example. The wallpaper is peeling off. The floors are scuffed and the curtain rod was rusted.
The location was terrific and the self serve element was also really nice. I felt very safe but I was missing a bit of luxury for the price we paid.

Stay was better than I expected for the reviews that are currently on Expedia. My daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights and had an overall very positive experience. Check in and check out were both very easy and hosts were communicative, even allowing us to check out late since no one was arriving the day after us. The bathroom is small but functional and the appliances and dinnerware were very appreciated. Pull out bed was surprisingly comfortable and easy to return to a couch. In a very convenient location with access to the theater district, park, and T line. We felt safe the entire trip and the only downside was that the property did feel a little past its prime and could use a little bit of TLC. Overall would recommend a stay here, especially if you are planning on being out of the room most of the day.

We don't appreciate getting rushed out 30 minutes before check-out time. I honored the check-out time, the cleaning staff should as well.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! This was the absolute WORST place we could have stayed. The room had an unpleasant odor that was masked over by cleaning fluid, and literally ALL wallpaper was peeling from the walls. Additionally, there was the previous guest’s hair stuck to the wall and on the bathtub. The shower drain is rusty and the toilet/sink had dust of some sort that looked like cigarette ashes that we wiped away. Even the baseboards were dirty!! There was soap scum underneath the liquid soap dispenser in the bathroom and all was so gross that I didn’t take a shower for the two nights we stayed. We really wanted a good experience because this was the first time we left our kids to go away together. We thought 4th of July was the perfect time for a long weekend. Fortunately the place we stayed the two nights before gave us that experience. THIS place DID NOT. The advertisement makes it look desirable, but we saw that it was FALSE ADVERTISING. This place should be CONDEMNED!!

Was supposed to get queen bed and got full bed. Sat on bed as soon as we got to the room and noticed the bed was broke. Each leg had atleast 5 screws holding legs on so i assume its been broken before and they tried to screw the legs back on. Had a smoke smell. Mouse traps behind fridge.

Wouldn’t stay here again.

Well, there are 12 units and two bathrooms. The 2nd floor bathroom had part of the ceiling coming down with mold. The wallpaper was pulling off at the seems. There was no grout between the tiles, and the last night we ran out of hot water near the end of our shower.
One of the shades in the bedroom had 3 broken shutters, as well as water damage to the lampshade.
And of the 3 or 4 WiFi’s they ended up recommending, was only able to log on to one, and the. It kicked me off 10 minutes later.
This is a two star (out of 5) at best, definitely NOT a 3 star. Would not stay here again.

The room was decent but the bathroom was very small. The only big inconvenience was finding somewhere to park.

Not so great. Crappy AC which was loud as hell. Shower didn’t drain properly so had standing water in it. Overall pretty average but not worth the price

Photos do not show the age or condition of the apartment. Very disappointing for the price. Quite run down and needs a lot of maintence. Very noisy from a major road and hearing other occupants from above. The blinds are only for privacy, so all light comes through including from car head lights - which on a major road cars are all night and sunrise started at 5.15am. Be prepared to wear ear plugs and an eye mask every night.
Better spending your money elsewhere. Would not stay again for the price.

The blinds did not come to the bottom of either window in the room, which made me uneasy, as anyone could see in from the 3 stacked decks right outside the back windows.
There was no mirror in the bathroom, which seems minute, but is annoying when you in the middle of getting ready, and accustomed to having one in your bathroom.
The decor was great. TV reception, not so much. The heater/air conditioner worked great!
I'm not sure I would stay again, as the girl in the room next to me got locked out, and it took over an hour for her too regain entry into her room. There is no phone to call, only text. Not great in emergencies!

Adequate and clean. Not for comfortable lounging.

Prices are very expensive in the area so I am pleased to we found this decent place to stay at a lower price than other acceptable places.
Communication was good and instructions were clear and correct. For my peace of mind I would like to receive the instructions the day before I arrive.
The place was clean, well kept and extremely sparse. 2 guests = 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, 2 wash cloths. At least one extra would be useful. The kitchenette had a limited, few utensils, only 2 spoons. 1 tablespoon, I teaspoon. We bought ice cream. My husband ate with a tablespoon. I ate with an undersized party spoon.
All the walls and ceilings are painted dark gray. Very hard to apply make-up or shave. I’m glad it has 3 windows as it rained all 3 days and the dreary color would have been worse without them.
Going to the bathroom is a noisy affair which can disturb your partner because when bathroom light is switched on the noisy fan clanks and runs.
Lastly, the pillows. They are fat balls which could not be mashed down.
The WiFi was adequate, TV worked for a limited number of channels. A lamp on either side of the bed which I appreciated. Plugs for charging which is a real help. I didn’t use the iron, ironing board or hair dryer but was glad to see they were available if needed.
Overall, adequate and clean. Convenient to subway and Boston Commons, Freedom Trail and much more.
