Great location! Nice property in a fantastic area, but my room on the first floor had an unpleasant, musty smell and dust in the corners of the ceiling that made it feel not so clean. I would probably not stay here again unless there were no other nearby options or the price was much lower.

The room was very clean, and had a nice view looking out to commonwealth ave. I was worried about parking, but was only there for a night so parked at the garage next to King's which was only a 4 minute walk. The check in was seamless and all communications overall were great!

This was our first time to Boston - my wife and I. In researching where to stay, Back Bay was maybe the 3rd or 4th neighborhood on our list. However, due to limited availability during the holiday week we found this property and decided to book. After now having explored all of Boston for a week, we’re so happy we found this place. Back Bay was the perfect location. Walking distance to major museums, Fenway, Freedom Trail, MIT campus (where we watched fireworks). Newbury St. (one street behind the hotel) is lined with restaurants and cafes. There’s even a CVS and a Trader Joe’s <5mins away (walking) if you like to stock up on snacks/drinks for the room like we do. Very safe, tree-lined walkway in front of the building that leads all the way to downtown. Couldn’t have been happier with the location. As for the property itself: we found it to be clean, comfy and charming. There’s a 24/7 chat and the hotel’s team is very responsive. Negatives? The Queen Master suite is a bit cramped for space, but the location in Back Bay was well worth the trade off. We gave the hotel 5 of 5 stars because it was a perfect home base for a great first trip to Boston.

Loved that it was close to everything and easy to check in and out. Also loved the quietness inside the apartment and comfy at home feeling. It was a great mix of old and new amenities and decor. Parking was a little difficult at first but best thing to do if you have a car is to park at the garage on Dalton street for 24 hour parking. Wish that was communicated more instead of us having to research it. But overall, loved the apartment and would stay here again.

Disappointed
The location is wonderful. The historic part of the building sounded intriguing. We arrived at 5:30 pm, there is no "Real" front desk. You are self serve with a code to the front door and #rm door. That means zero service. The room smelled musty, the coffee maker was cheap and did not operate properly. Shower had no water pressure and there was no counter space for any personal items in the bathroom. It felt like an unattended Airbnb. No room cleans unless requested and a 24 hr notice to Sonder ?? I wish we had stayed at the Eliot down the street, same location and looked amazing.

Horrible Stay- think rating is rigged
Room was very small. No one to report room issues to but a call center. Cold water did work properly, tv not working even after following their printed instruction. Minimum towels available. Bathroom door could not be fully opened (hit night stand) everything looked tired. Hard to get dressed in room. “The Library “ on 1st floor, I tried to work in but no WiFi there. Horrible!

It was what we needed when my daughter had to visit Boston University. It was superclose to Newbury St. Food and shopping nearby. The train station was also close by. Neighborhood was quiet and safe. Check in and check out was easy. If you just want a place to stay without any frills and fancy this is for you. There is a locker by lobby for storage if you need to leave stuff, 1st come 1st served.

The entry process needs to be revamped. I had to wait over an hour to get my access code worked out because the website was not working, and there was a woman behind me that had the same issue and had to sit in the lobby for three hours trying to figure out her code number for her door. It’s a terrible system, and it needs to be redesigned, otherwise the entire place was lovely.

Great property and fantastic location
Fantastic bedroom and great location. All very convenient with a very short walk to Newbury Street which is loaded with top shops and restaurants. Locked baggage storage downstairs is excellent. We had a problem with the door code not working on 4th day (caused us to miss a booked tour and lots of walking, Uber and stress) but was resolved by Sonder staff - this door issue caused a pint reduction on my feedback
