We had a fantastic experience. The hotel is very quaint. The rooms were comfortable. The front desk staff were excellent. They helped with luggage and provided delicious restaurant recommendations. The location is ideal. Newbury Street is full of fun restaurants and shops. Walking distance to so many things.

This hotel was fantastic. The location is very swanky and walkable to so many places. Tons of shops and restaurants all around. I did not have a car so I can't speak to the parking accomodations, but the rooms were cute and clean with comfortable beds. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone going to Boston and I would definitely stay there again myself.

My teenage daughter and I stayed here for a long weekend. Great street w lots of shopping and super close/walkable to Back Bay Station (we can via Amtrak). Our room had the view of Newbury Street. The only item to highlight is there is construction across the street so can be loud when the workers start working. We got lucky because we came over the weekend/holiday, so just heard the noise in the morning when we left on a Tuesday. Even w the noise, we would definitely recommend this quaint hotel. Front desk service was excellent and we enjoyed the free daily hot chocolate.

Such a gem of a place! If you come to Boston this boutique inn is a fabulous place to stay. It is ideally situated on Newbury Street so getting to a variety of places is easy. The service is outstanding; they have real, brewed coffee rather than throwing a Keurig in the room. I stayed here two weeks ago for several nights; this was my second visit. From now on this will be my go to for staying in Boston.

We had an amazing stay at Newbury Guest House, in my opinion the ideal place to stay in Boston. The staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The location in Back Bay is perfect for exploring the city on foot, with shops, restaurants, and attractions nearby. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we slept wonderfully. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Boston!

We wanted our last night in Boston to be at a quiet, small, independent place with character and charm, preferably on Newbury Street. We got everything we wanted with the Newbury Guest House. It has character, the staff is great, and Newbury St. is right out the front door. Our “Luxury King Room with a view” was just that and it was at a great rate. The Newbury Guest House is now our go-to place for our future trips to Boston.

Beautiful room. Comfortable bed, great location. Amtrak from nyc was cancelled so we couldn’t make it the first night but they didn't charge us. Awesome service.

Great weekend stay at this beautiful boutique hotel. Staff was so amazing and friendly. Rooms were well appointed and very comfortable, lobby was quaint with some cozy seating and free coffee, tea, hot chocolate. Super WIFI connection, which I needed for a few hours one day to login to work. Place was so cute and conveniently located on Newbury Street, smack in the middle of everything, great restaurants and shops all around. Rates are reasonable (for Boston) and I enjoyed staying here so much better than the large scale hotels that are over priced and so inpersonable. They do have parking for one car at a daily rate of about $25 per day, but I believe you do need to let them know ahead of time. Conveniently located to the Universities, Back Bay Station, Boston Public Library, Beacon Hill, Chinatown, Wang Theatre, Little Italy. We loved it so much, we booked our stay in April for our daughter’s college graduation!
