The location was great, just across the road from the train station and situated in the lovely Beacon Hill neighbourhood, with lots of lovely eateries and boutiques on Charles Street.

    Extraordinary friendly and approachable staff. Small room but with a very smart layout, interior design and a nice view. Very quiet. The lobby/bar/living room downstairs was very comfortable and stylish. The concept is probably, that the room is for sleeping. If you want to hang out, than come down to the bar. There is no pressure to consume there. Very good located We absolutly loved our stay at this hotel. I will definitly book it again and recommend it to friends.
