Top Back Bay East Hotel Reviews

Hotel AKA Back Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, convenient located in a safe and high traffic area central to back bay."

Fairmont Copley Plaza, Boston

10/10 Excellent

"The staff, everybody, from the cleaning service to the front desk to the staff in the restaurant was excellent. The hotel is very well located. As with older hotels, the restroom is somewhat small when compared to more modern hotels however, overall I recommend staying at the Fairmont Copley in Boston."

Arcadian Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice place to stay. Very clean. Had a broken hair dryer and was able to send another up to my room which was a lifesaver. They looked to have a nice breakfast spread. The only thing that I wish was that breakfast started before 0700 as two of my mornings there, I had to leave before breakfast was served. But overall, comfy bed, and would stay again if going to Boston!"
