Excellent hotel. I’ve stayed at the one in Vegas a handful of times and this is my first time trying the Boston one, it definitely lives up to its reputation. Highly recommend-great location, clean hotel and great service.

citizenM feels a bit more fun and welcoming compared to other modern hotels. The rooms are still on the smaller side, but they’re super comfortable, especially the big bed that takes up most of the space. Everything is controlled with an iPad—lights, blinds, TV—which is actually pretty cool once you get used to it. The lobby areas are a highlight, with lots of space to hang out, work, or grab a drink. It feels more social than your typical hotel. Overall, it’s a great pick if you like a stylish, relaxed vibe without spending too much.

Spacious room for three, great value for money! We discovered this hotel through TikTok reviews and were not disappointed. The art deco interiors are stunning, and the lobby is beautiful. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The hotel is very quiet both day and night—perhaps due to its residential location. A fantastic stay overall. Highly recommended and would definitely return! ห้องกว้างสำหรับสามคน ราคาดีมาก! เห็นรีวิวจาก TikTok แล้วไม่ผิดหวังเลย สะอาดมากๆ การตกแต่งสไตล์อาร์ตเดโคสวย ล็อบบี้ดูดี ถ่ายรูปได้ พนักงานต้อนรับอบอุ่นและช่วยเหลือดี โรงแรมเงียบสงบทั้งกลางวันและกลางคืน อาจเพราะอยู่ในย่านที่พักอาศัย โดยรวมดีเยี่ยม แนะนำค่ะสำหรับใครมาเที่ยวบอสตัน

The hotel's location and rooms were quite good, but the service was really disappointing. I've stayed at Hilton hotels for business trips before, and they always provide two complimentary bottles of water daily. This particular Hilton, however, actually claimed that they only provide two bottles upon check-in and any additional water must be purchased at the front desk. When I asked for a clear policy, they couldn't provide any specific regulations. Furthermore, during room service, my clothes were just carelessly tossed onto the nightstand. This level of service really doesn't live up to Hilton's reputation or its room rates.

The room isn't huge, but with two 150cm beds, it's manageable for a family with kids if you don't mind snuggling. The mattress was incredibly soft; surprisingly, I usually get back pain at home but slept on this soft bed for three nights with no issues. There's a Starbucks drip coffee maker in the room, and another Starbucks next to the front desk on the second floor. Bar10, also on the second floor, serves good food. The hotel connects to two malls, which is fantastic in the cold winter as you don't have to go outside to find food. The cleanliness was impeccable, it looked like it had just been renovated. The shower had both an overhead rain shower and a handheld option; even though it was in a tub, the water pressure was excellent. Facing north, we had an unobstructed view of the river and MIT across the way. Boston truly is a beautiful city, and I'd definitely stay here again on my next visit.

Good thing: 1. super convenient location, only about 7 mins walk to backbay station and 10 mins to downtown. The famous flour bakery is also nearby! 2. Interesting deco and architecture 3. Bathrooms alway readily available and clean (always cleaned very fast). Towels alway available and there are good amenities. Not so good: 1. there was a weird smell when I first entered my room- smelled funky. 2. Noticed the tables, bed ledge etc (everything basically) were dusty!! I had to use wet wipes to wipe the ledges and tables and chairs down before putting my items on them. It felt like housekeeping was barely done or at least only at a minimum level. Basically, cleanliness level was not up to par until the extent I was so scared there’ll be bedbugs(thankfully there wasn’t.) 3. No housekeeping done throughout my 3 nights of stay. 4. I felt like I was back living in a school dormitory and not a hotel (I see students partying and hanging around over the weekend). 5. Overall, not worth it for the price per night. You can find better hotels or even airbnb in Boston.

Had such a wonderful experience here, we went on a little weekend getaway before our first baby comes, firstly they gave us a complimentary upgrade to our room, my honey and our friend enjoyed the bar drinks and were served their beverages in the timely manner, breakfast the next morning, the food was delightful and was brought directly to our room for us. Check in and out was made so easy with the kindest front desk attendants. The view from our room was incredible! 10 out of 10 will be staying here when we find ourselves in Boston again.
