Property was being renovated but did NOT receive any notice in advance. Entrance was not usable - yet no visible signage to use side entrance. Renovations limited access - and room next door (we were in 330) was either being renovated or used as staging for construction. Loud construction workers started at 6A this morning. Awoke to loud drilling noises (recorded the noise if want to hear) on our first morning there. No VIP amenities. If was told in advance, maybe my expectations would have been different. Was expecting luxury boutique hotel - and got decent, clean old (unrenovated) room and lots of construction noise.

Horrible horrible horrible
The hotel itself is being renovated so parts of it are still under construction. That is understandable. What I couldn’t understand were the renovated rooms. Cramped, ikea/college dorm looking furniture, poorly installed carpeting and the kicker for me are the untouched bathrooms. I’ve been staying here for at least 10 years and the bathrooms still look as dated and filthy as they did 10 years ago. The hallway carpets are from 10 years ago as well. Renovated the rooms horribly and did nothing to any other areas. Also, the bar/restaurant prices? $58 for steak frites. $44 for a lobster roll. I don’t know who made these mind blowing decisions but they made huge mistakes. Sadly, I will not be back.

Totally recommend staying here
The AKA Hotel Back Bay is a beautiful building in a great location. The rooms are very spacious the bathrooms are great. When we arrived we found out the main entrance is closed because they are remodeling it. The first morning we realized we could hear the noise of construction. The staff managed to find another room for us so we could have a nice stay

Great location near Back Bay Station
The location was great and the bed comfortable, which is all most people may care about. Everything else was just okay. The lobby was under construction, so you had to enter through the downstairs restaurant. It seemed some parts of the hotel may have been updated, but the bathroom I had in my room was very dated and worn. I was on the 4th floor back side of the building and the second night, I was kept awake for hours of dumpster pickup and noisy delivery/moving/construction. It was comfortable, but for over $550 a night, I was hoping for something a bit more special.

Over the hotel was nice and clean. The only negative was a one in the morning fire alarm malfunction, which made everyone get up and gather in the lobby while th Fire department figured out what was going on. Management did not address the issue or offer any kind of.compensation for the inconvenience.
