    A charming, little hotel in a Victorian house. It’s very quiet and close to Harvard square. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. Friendly staff, especially the lady. No breakfast, but there was tea and coffee, and a kitchen in the basement for making your own meal. Would absolutely come back. Good value.

    Location excellent for visiting family and also Harvard. We had a quiet room at the back, so away from street noise which can be irritating in the rooms on the other side of the house. The Pemberton Farms store across the road provides a great choice of food for breakfast, to eat in the communal area with tea and coffee provided in the Guest House. Staff helpful and friendly.

    Really nice hotel in a great location right opposite a train station. The room was really stylish and comfortable. The bed in particular was great and we got a good night’s sleep. Hotel was also very quiet. I read reviews saying the rooms were small, but I didn’t think so compared to the European hotels I’m used to.

    We stayed in the centre of Boston at the start of our trip and slightly further our at Porter Square at the end of our trip before flying home. Porter square was my favourite as it was cheaper, opposite an excellent thai restaurant and quieter too. Lovely room and location very close to a metro stop to get you easily into the centre of the city.

    Perfect location for my needs. It was about 20 min walk for me. The room was clean and I loved that I was in the hideaway, third floor section. For someone who always worried about door codes and not being able to open them - the process was super easy, I got emails with code and knew exactly what I needed to know. It was quiet as well and is a quite charming house. Also, complimentary water was a life saver in this heat. The other items i.e. chocolate bar and red wine I didn't care for but that's a personal preference. :)
