Not the worst hotel but not a great stay either and I wouldn't book again (mainly due to location feeling very dodgy for a solo traveller and overall too noisy- not a fault with the hotel itself)

As advertised my room seemed soundproof from adjoining ones, but the street noise was VERY disturbing with nightclubs/music contributing to a sleepless night, despite earplugs. Then there was an unexplained fire alarm at 5am so we assembled bleary-eyed in the freezing cold car park and waited for someone to arrive (and the fire engine) before eventually being allowed back in.

My sink had a draining problem and only ran cold water. Toilet flusher button was extremely tough to push and got stuck a few times. The room was smaller and more basic than images on my booking suggested and had no fridge, and grubby glasses instead of mugs (with a handful of tea bags/coffee sachets in a massive heap next to them).

There was no info on my booking about breakfast (I didn't even know it was included until I read someone's review) so I had to find out myself online when/where/what it was. Nice to have it included but it wasn't great; no bakery items, no hot food just packaged bits and some juice. Understandable since it's a staffless hotel but a few small changes could've made it reasonable/ maybe made up for the terrible night.

The cherry on top was that the area above the car park seems to be an airspace bottleneck for seagulls, so I left to find my car absolutely blitzed with bird mess.

This is a hotel that doesn't have any staff for entry, you call before and they text you with your entry code and room code. (This is rather cool imo)

The problem is when we booked the room one of the things we wanted was a soundproof room and it was not.

Every slight sounds echoed, you could continue a conversation with someone in the bathroom and we could hear the TV of next room across.

The shower was angled wrong so rather than all the water going down the drain it overflowed over the guarded and the water started to stream towards the door.

Now these were the reason I gave it a smaller score.

However the room was incredibly clean, if you like a firm bed then that was lovely, we had extra pillows and tea/coffee in the room

I would recommend staying here but only if you can get a good price deal

Instructions to get to the hotel weren't great. On arrival you had to check in on your phone entering driving licence or passport and details just to get the access code. No email or text was received and when I called the number given it said nobody was available and hung up.
The hotel manager arrived as I was wondering how to get in she was lovely, very welcoming.
The hotel is half renovated by the looks of it. Room was very clean and looked relatively recently refurbished. Just felt very 'hard' as in wooden effect lino floors throughout bedroom and bathroom...lots of straight lines. The bed was weird, a hard bed frame without slats meant the mattress didn't have the support needed.
They really like LED lights...as they are everywhere...round the bed frame, in the bathroom round the shower...in the hallway and staircase etc...pretty tacky looking especially with the beautiful staircase painted completely gold.
Location is central but there really aren't any nice restaurants or much to see in Boston. Very run down and dirty with a lot of drunk / drugged blokes stumbling about in the market square and outside the church.
The hotel has potential to be lovely but whoever did the interior design needs to respect the character of the building and pull back on the gold paint and LED lights which make a beautiful old building look very cheap & tacky.

What a fantastic hotel. Location was great, right in the middle of it all.
Room was great with loads of room.
The room
Needs coat hangers and some draws for clothes as we had to live out of our bags.
Up date the blinds, apart from this we would stay again.

Breakfast room was great as well, just get cups that fit in the coffee machine.

The staff assisted us straight away when asked. All done through WhatsApp.

WiFi was brilliant

We were upgraded to the Suite which was absolutely beautiful. Only stayed one night but loved it, if in the area again then we will return. The only down side was that there wasn't any air-conditioning but they provided us with 2 fans which was lovely so it wasn't too hot. Will recommend to anyone, parking is only £4 which is very cheap

Beautiful glamorous old building with modern design rooms which feels strange but no complaints here. Check in was difficult as we had not checked in online and you need to be aware there’s no reception and a code to access is required. In addition, parking is £4.40 for 24 hours but all good. I’d definitely use this hotel again

Very clean, amazing hotel, love the decor, love all the fancy lights in the rooms. Shower could of been hotter.
Plenty of choice for the breakfast buffet, only thing we couldn't work out was the coffee machine pod.

There was noise coming from outside but that was from the binmen I believe and it was at 6 30am on a Sunday morning , which I didn't want waking up at that time.

Other than that it was a comfortable night and will be back again

History and the WOW ! Factor in one

Taking its cue from Air BnB , this is a hotel with no Front of House staff and you get sent an access code that works for the front door and your room.
Right from the start you feel that it is going to be different. With a private carpark, accessed via the No Through Road off Market Place, you are in a courtyard with two impressive stone Gothic Revival buildings - the old Sessions House (1841) and the matching County Hall of 1927 - which now houses the hotel.

Having entered your key code, the doors glide open and you enter a different world. The finishes are amazing - like a high end London hotel, with floors of black marble flashed with gold and large modern chandeliers lighting the void above a stately double branched staircase that takes you up to the rooms on the first and second floors.

The room really was an experience in itself - with smart lighting effects everywhere (you can turn them off - and change the colours). The en-suite was designed as a semi-wet room with a walk-in shower integrated into the floor and a wildlife graphic covering the shower wall.
There was a breakfast bar-style desk with the usual supplies and modern double glazed windows have been fitted inside the old window recesses, leaving the historic exterior windows undisturbed.
A huge amount of thought appears to have gone into the design, giving a room that is well-insulated, easy to maintain (no carpeting) and fun!.

Across the courtyard is The Stump (church) and the old town.

Great place but Boston wasn't! Unwanted person in the lobby, who had snuck when other guests had come in, refused to leave. I called security who arrived but they had to call the police to get him out. After the cars had stopped racing around the market place by 1.00 am we got some sleep. Not great.

Very Modern hotel

I have stayed at this hotel before and it is very modern in an old building. Feels strange with no reception but everything went well. Room is very modern and clean and tidy. Was very warm so had to have the windows open which there was noise from outside as it seem that kids meet outside in the car park!!! No trouble though. Breakfast room is a great addition and unexpected. Parking is very reasonable £4 for 24 hours but wouldn’t want to stay in Boston center for that long. Had a Thai meals across the square and that was wonderful. Overall I would recommend if passing through

27c Room

When entered the hot, its hot. No windows were open. The only window available was tiny, the blind had to be held up with a pole.

The toilet is right next to the wall, have to sit side on. Definitely a room to avoid in the summer as it on the top floor and windows are facing south east. A green house has more ventilation.

With so much money spent on the decor throughout the building, a cheap fan isn't going to be any help what so ever.

Business trip one night

I stayed one night, it is a fabulous building that has been modernised and revamped to a very high standard, it's is right in the centre of Boston with on site parking at £4 for 24 hours. Whilst not 'manned' the telephone was answered quickly and instructions including a map and how to gain access/breakfast etc was sent over immediately. I struggled to find it via sat nav but the link worked well. I required assistance with my case and help arrived at the agreed time - I loved the hotel, it would have been nice to have had food available but the hotel that delivers was showing as closed on the app. I ventured out but didn't feel happy about the locality and contacted the police due to some anti social behaviour in the market square. The hotel and staff were fab, shame about the lack of policing in the centre but this is a sign of the times unfortunately
