“Perfect for a long weekend in Boston”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011
3
people found this review helpful

The Beacon Hill Hotel and Bistro were everything I'd hoped for on a three-day trip to Boston...good location for lots of sight-seeing, quiet, pretty retreat every evening, personal service (not many rooms, so the staff knows who you are) but not so intensely personal as that at a bed-and-breakfast. I was able to get to many places on foot from this hotel and public transportation is a short walk across Boston Common. The staff is knowledgeable and most willing to assist you in getting to know the area. Even when they were busy with the bistro end of the business (the check-in desk performs dual functions for hotel and bistro), I was never neglected.

The room I had was small but well-appointed and perfect for a single traveler. With two windows, there was plenty of light; so I never felt confined by the space. I'd definitely choose to stay here again.

If you expect a separate check-in desk and a hotel lobby, this is not the place for you. Also, if you need elevator assistance, be sure to mention that when making your reservation. Staying in certain rooms requires climbing stairs in this charming little inn.

“Beacon Hill Hotel and Bistro - The Best of Boston!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

person found this review helpful

The Beacon Hill Hotel and Bistro brings out the best Boston has to offer. The best location -Charles Street is truly lovely- and the central location is ideal for sight seeing.
My accomodations at Beacon Hill were perfect. I felt at home rather than in some sterile run-of-the-mill hotel. All the amenities, from the furniture to the bathroom to entertainment system are up to date.
I'm so happy to have found this gem of a hotel. I'll be back with out a doubt, and to anyone who plans to visit, dont miss sunday brunch- its to die for!

“I wish I could live here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I came across this hotel on an earlier trip to Boston this year. I enjoyed Beacon Hill so much (and Charles street in particular) that I decided to give it a try, and I am truly happy I did so!

I stayed in the smallest room, and though it s indeed small, it is by no means claustrophobic (there were 2 windows), you could perfectly move around the double bed, and it was cleverly designed enough to include a tiny closet (with ironing board and all) and a desk. The bathroom was sizable enough to what you would find in bigger hotel rooms. All in all, size was adequate for a single person or a couple without much luggage.

Everything was spotless clean and the bed was very comfortable. And for Boston cold weather, the heater (room and bathroom) worked perfectly, and you instantly got hot water (I wish I had that at home).

Location is of course perfect, one of the quaintest streets in one of Boston's prettiest (and wealthiest) neighborhoods. The street is lined with small restaurants and shops, and is walking distance to Boston's main attractions and shopping. Last but not least, the hotel restaurant serves delicious food, as attested by the locals who fill the place from breakfast to dinner.

The staff is friendly, attentive and ever helpful, which only adds to the feeling that you are staying at a good friend's place in Boston rather than in a hotel. If this is the experience and service you are looking for, you will definitely enjoy your stay here. I am craving to go back, and hope the weather will be (at least a bit!) nicer than last weekend's odd storm.

Room Tip: My room was on the 4th floor and there was few noise coming from the street. Elevators go only until...

“I cannot wait to return!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Everything was impeccable: the cleanliness of the rooms, the location of the hotel, and the wonderful views. The food and the staff were immensely courteous and made our stay that much more enjoyable. I used to live in Boston and while nothing compares with a home, the BHHB lends itself to be a home away from home. I highly recommend this hotel!

“My go-to accommodation spot when I’m in town!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

person found this review helpful

I just recently completed my second stay at Beacon Hill Hotel and Bistro and it will not be my last! I often visit Boston as I lived there during my college days. Since graduating, I no longer live in the city so I thoroughly enjoy my visits to Boston and try to go as much as my work allows me. After trying some average hotels scattered throughout areas like Back Bay and the South End, I decided to try out BHHB. My search ended here. This place was the best! Their cozy and quaint rooms make you feel like your in the comfort of your own home. But probably their strongest attribute had to be the attentiveness of the staff. While I am familiar with Boston to an extent, they were very willing to help me with any additional questions and references to good places to dine out. One night when I wasn’t in the mood to go out, due to the infamous Boston weather, I tried their Bistro for the first time. And the food was delicious!!! I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place with true Bostonian charm in the most convenient of locations.
