Nestled in the peaceful residential neighborhood of Brookline, near the attractions of downtown Boston, Massachusetts, this cozy inn offers comfortable amenities in an ideal location.

Longwood Inn is a beautiful Victorian mansion that is just minutes from subway transportation. The surrounding area is filled with restaurants, shops and several of the city's hospitals. Guests will also enjoy the adjacent park, which features tennis courts, a children's playground and a running track.

I have to applaud the staff Barbara for her helpful manner. There was a bit of misunderstanding on how many rooms I needed for my stay, and initially I was tasked with canceling one of the rooms on my own. In the end, Barbara said not to worry about it and she will cancel for me directly with Booking.com. I really appreciated her help and professionalism. It made my stay that much more pleasant, so a BIG thank you to her!

    A charming, little hotel in a Victorian house. It’s very quiet and close to Harvard square. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. Friendly staff, especially the lady. No breakfast, but there was tea and coffee, and a kitchen in the basement for making your own meal. Would absolutely come back. Good value.

    Really nice hotel in a great location right opposite a train station. The room was really stylish and comfortable. The bed in particular was great and we got a good night’s sleep. Hotel was also very quiet. I read reviews saying the rooms were small, but I didn’t think so compared to the European hotels I’m used to.

    We stayed in the centre of Boston at the start of our trip and slightly further our at Porter Square at the end of our trip before flying home. Porter square was my favourite as it was cheaper, opposite an excellent thai restaurant and quieter too. Lovely room and location very close to a metro stop to get you easily into the centre of the city.

    Perfect location for my needs. It was about 20 min walk for me. The room was clean and I loved that I was in the hideaway, third floor section. For someone who always worried about door codes and not being able to open them - the process was super easy, I got emails with code and knew exactly what I needed to know. It was quiet as well and is a quite charming house. Also, complimentary water was a life saver in this heat. The other items i.e. chocolate bar and red wine I didn't care for but that's a personal preference. :)

    Great location in a quiet street and walking distance from good restaurants, bars and shops. Loved the history and character of the building. The room we had was very spacious and had a nice aspect overlooking the courtyard.
