The best thing about the Buckminster Hotel is its convenience. The hotel is located within spitting distance of Boston University, Fenway Park, House of Blues and the Kenmore Square T, and it's a decent, very pretty walk to Newbury Street, the Hynes Convention Center and the Prudential Tower. We visited Boston in late September, when the walking weather is at... more

We were visiting Boston for one night -- attending a Red Sox game - prior to spending our vacation on Cape Cod. Prior to booking our stay, we inquired about parking and was told parking was available at a garage next store. We booked our stay at the Buckmister as we thought a garage would be more secure than a... more

The Good Right by the Kenmore stop on the Green Line of the T. Excellent location for Fenway Park. We went to a game and it was great being able to slip back into hotel and not have to battle with the crowds on the T. The continental breakfast was good. The Bad The room was very small and a... more

Mr partner and I stayed for five nights and had a good experience. The location was good; very near to the T line. Whilst the hotel decor was dated we thought the hotel had quite a quirky feel to it and had character. It was also clean and we found the laundry room on site useful. The breakfast was good;... more

I decided to book this hotel because of the reviews here on this site. We had tickets to see the Red Sox and this hotel is almost across the street. The bed seemed small for a queen size but I slept better than my husband. We liked the breakfast and also the location to the T. more

This is the third time I have stayed at the Buckminster. I have no compliants. The staff was great, location is perfect, down the street from a T stop and Fenway Park. The building is old but everything is clean. Contenental breakfast in an attached restaurant. Print boarding pass for free. With AA discount it was $140. a night, not... more

Nothing really to say about the Buckminster. It was fine. Yes the furniture is old and chipped, but it is very clean and reasonably well maintained. The walls are thin, but if you are just using this as a place to sleep while you tour the city, there is nothing that wrong with it. The temperature control (or lack there... more

Just returned from visiting Boston - truly a wonderful city, especially in the fall. I booked my room through one of the online travel sites - the one that tells you where you're staying after you pay. My wife and I landed our room at the Buckminster Hotel. Pros - Location is excellent. Right next to Fenway Park and Kenmore... more

We stayed here for one night and it was decent. A cute sort of old feeling to the place. The biggest problem was that the air conditioning in our room barely worked at all. We moved to a different room in the middle of the night, on a different floor, and it was perfectly fine there. The next morning we... more
