The hotel looks and feels like a hip youth hostel. The rooms are not fancy/glamorous but rather comfy.
I loved it. In the hotel has a martini bar as well. The bar was well attended. I could not hear the noise of the bar in my room!
One big downside though is that the elevator to the rooms is accessible by everybody, not just hotel guests. I would have preferred an hotel-guest-only elevator key...or some kind of higher security system. Same for the stairways.
After checking out from the hotel, there was the possibility to leave the luggage with the hotel. The luggages are locked with a rope so that they cannot be stolen but are accessible by everybody - so make sure you lock you luggage since people could go and open your zippers. I didn't trust the storage enough, so I only left my luggage but took my laptop and all other electronic devices with me. This was quite inconvenient.
In overall, I loved my stay and would stay there again. Though I would not bring any valuables along.

My wife and i stayed here 3 nights, lovely hotel, clean and lovely staff- hotel is in walking distance of many areas, with Boston common 10 minute walk, good also if your going shopping, which we did, and also good for the underground, got from airpost to the hotel in 45 mins, with no problems, and 2 min walk ftom underground. would recommend for couples, but rooms are small, but not a problem, bathrooms very clean, and one of the best showers i have had in a hotel- overall a great place, and would stay again if viting boston again -

my boyfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at this hotel

1. arrived early after a 6am flight, were shown to the breakfast area and told they would try to have our room ready as early as possible, very friendly helpful staff got us in at 11am and gave us maps of the area.
2. wonderful location right across from the library and near lots of attractions, enjoyed the boutique feel of the hotel
3. great price for the room, yes they are tiny, but beautifully decorated and all the amenities you need
4. would highly recommend this hotel, the downside is the breakfast as other reviews have pointed out (very few selections) but they are pleased to point you to other restaurants in the area, and helped us with dinner reservation which was a big bonus!

Can't beat this location in Boston as it is in walking distance of a lot of great food and bars and the T is nearby. The rooms are on the small side, but the value makes it perfect for a short stay in the city. I would definitely recommend.
