Top Central Square Hotel Reviews

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Close to South train terminal, the harbor, and Freedom Trail."

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very nice and well located. The rooms are clean but small. My only real complaint is about the hotel’s bar/restaurant. The music was so loud that after sitting down at our table we decided to leave because we could not even hear ourselves think! Otherwise, our stay here was a good one."

The Westin Boston Seaport District

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay here very much, but the check-in process needs to be improved. The line to check in was so long, about a 15-20 minute wait! The difficulty in all this was that we had done a pre-check a couple of hours earlier, and all we needed to do was pick up the room key, but we still had to wait in that terribly long line."

Copley Square Hotel, a FOUND Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location. We were able to walk everywhere. Metro stations were nearby. The coffee in the "guest kitchen" was pretty bad. Would have preferred a coffee maker or even an electric kettle in the room. The room did have a really nice refrigerator. The bathroom was very small but adequate. Shower and water temp was good. Housekeeping staff was very friendly. The front desk was kind of apathetic. That being said the hotel checked all the boxes and I would stay there again."

The Dagny Boston

10/10 Excellent

"The Dagney was a great choice in hotels for Boston. The room was very comfortable and clean, the staff were great and we enjoyed the close proximity to many restaurants and attractions. We really enjoyed dine in breakfast and The on site restaurants and café.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend."

citizenM Boston Back Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We really loved the hotel. I was there with my son. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The amenities and the whole room setup are amazing. One thing I wasn't fan of was the cleaning routine. We stayed there for 5 nights and they only took the trash-whixh was a very tiny can- or refill the stuff that we needed once even though we requested it. Other than that we loved our stay and would most likely return."

Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

8/10 Good

"Nice place, nice people, and great location. Key positives: Water bottle fill station on each floor Closet of amenities on each floor Special door to the pub next door; worked well during World Cup viewing Nice lounge on the first floor. Areas to improve: Add safe to room Put a wastebasket in the bathroom. It may be a new efficiency that we are seeing with hotels cutting back on wastebaskets, but it is not very graceful to carry all your trash from room to room. Thanks and we would happily return."
