Loud Chiller
The room was fairly clean, but the noise from the "chiller" was insane. I called the front desk and they called up the maintenance guy immediately. He told me they could do nothing about this as the "chiller" controlled the temperature for the entire hotel. After I was unpacked and all, I didn't want to change rooms even though I made note to the front desk about this issue.

Great Location
Was convenient to everything which is a big plus. However, safe was not working and did not receive a newspaper as requested. Had to ask twice to get safe fixed and paper delivered. Staff was friendly.

Convenient location for touring Boston
My wife and I had a great time in Boston and the Back Bay Hotel was a large part of it. Boston hotels are all pretty pricey but this was more reasonable than most and was conveniently located in the Back Bay. It was just one block away from Newbury Street and a few blocks away from the Public Gardens. The T (what Boston calls the subway) was also very convenient and we toured Faneuil Hall and the North End.

Good hotel in a nice neighborhood
We spent one night at Back Bay Hotel. The hotel is located in a nice neighborhood and close to downtown Boston. It is also close to subway stations. The hotel provides clean room, and its staff are friendly.

Affordable for a classy hotel
I liked staying at this hotel. The only downside is that I didn't get a view of the city and the thermostat was noisy and it was hard to sleep through the night.

Great location.
Location is ideal. Quiet but close to everything. Room was clean, but was not impeccable. There was a small stain or two on the carpet and chair. Nothing big, but you could tell it's been a few years since a remodel. Towels also varied through the visit. Some were new and luscious...others had been washed over and over again so they were thin. Staff was great though. Most things are great -- just a few small finishing touches could be upgraded to the luxury they once were.

Bacco's on St James has a great selection of wine (with screw top!) as well as nice cheeses and meats. Try the cheese bento box for a nice sample of everything!

Back Bay Hotel
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location was nice, even though there weren't that many family-friendly restaurants/breakfast places nearby. The room was small; the air was too dry and our heating/cooling system did not work properly. Free internet access was nice, but the valet parking is $42 per day (!). Would probably look for another place to stay next time.

Great weekend
This hotel has a great location. A five minute walk from 2 T stops. It has two places to eat within the hotel. The staff was very attentive. The room was excellent-heated beach size towels, a refrig and safe, comfortable bed, very quiet, great toiletries-just to name a few. We hope to be back next year on our annual trip.
