GREAT for solo traveler. 15 minute walk to Harvard Yard. The Redline train is directly outside the yard. Healthy breakfast choices- including a great tasting oatmeal. Be prepared. My room was on the fourth level. There is NO elevator. However, staff will ask, and kindly offer assistance.

I was very unsure which area to stay in, but I'm so happy I chose CCB because the location is absolutely perfect. Back Bay is very nice and safe. You even have a wonderful park just outside the doorstep to walk around, and the lovely Boston Commons only two blocks away. Check-in/out was one of the most seamless experiences I've had with hotels/airbnbs. I didn't have to check in with anyone, and I received the door code a few days before. They have a lovely dining room for guests with homemade cookies, fruit, coffee and tea. Unfortunately I didn't take advantage of the breakfast, but I'm sure it's great too. CCB is really the perfect mix of a hotel and bed/breakfast. I was unsure about doing the solo room with a shared bathroom, but other than having to wait for the other guest to finish his shower so I could take an urgent bio break, it was no issue at all and I would hands down do it again. I'm pretty sure the other floors have a bathroom if you absolutely need it though. For the location, price, comfort, and amenities, College Club of Boston is a no brainer. I got the please to quickly meet the GM on my way out, and she is super sweet. I even left my airpods in the room, and without hesitation they are shipping them back to me. 5 starts forsure.

If you are looking for a place that's cozy, close to everything, and where you can talk to someone who truly knows the area, look no further. My family and I have been staying at this place for over 10 years. It is not only immaculately clean, it is very charming with lots of special touches everywhere. A wide selection of teas, coffee and breakfast items as well as afternoon snack goodies. Books, magazines, maps, coloring and doodling notebooks, all sorts of bathroom toiletries you may need, even a wide variety of reading glasses should the need arise! Truly a gem and the owner Sarah is not only a wonderful hostess, she has a lot of great tips for visiting the many attractions of the area. I highly, highly recommend this B&B fellow yelpers!

Tea and coffee are always accessible and I appreciated the thought the hosts put into having everything a traveler might need available, from forgotten toiletries to office supplies and a printer. My room was small, but certainly sufficient space for a one night stay. I appreciated having a refrigerator and water in my room (and I like how the hotel is trying to reduce plastic waste). Everything was very clean and comfortable and the location, just minutes walk from the Davis T station, was very convenient. The only thing that would make a very nice stay better would be a more comfortable reading chair in the common room or larger pillows for reading in bed.

Staff was easy to communicate with since we had plane delays for Check in and wanted to pay cash (they also leave after 11 pm and you need a code). Luckily, they gave us good info and got there around 9:30 PM so we were able to take care of business as we hoped. They are around if you need help. We didn't need room cleaning (stayed for 4 nights) because we had everything we need: toiletries, towels, etc. Big nice room (we stayed in the other building, the white one), got a contemporary one with own bathroom (rates are more reasonable here that in downtown Boston where there are still hotels w. shared bathrooms-not interested!). Room was clean, had lots of furniture to put your things on. Nice sheets, comfy bed and pillows. Fridge, microwave, tea kettle, everything you need. Cute backyard behind with vegetation and flowers. Pretty quiet, no parties, the other people staying here were decent. Many kitchens around- didn't use and cute common areas for eating, reading, hanging out. No Breakfast, they didn't bring it back since the pandemic. They offer complimentary coffee, tea and filtered water. We got pastries across at Pemberton Farms, a nice Market. Small Bathroom (happy to have it), low water pressure and the toilet seat needs to be replaced, very loose. Old buildings, you can hear creaking and people walking around (we were on ground level), but quiet overall! Safe location, the inn has character being located in an old Victorian house with its quirky decor, in a cool area with shops and restaurants around. Good option for Boston area where hotels are so pricey! Unique option for our stay!

It's very startling. The door of my room was unsealed, all heat and air could come through or even a rat. There was a huge gap between the carpet and the door. Tiny mites in the bathroom. The sheets are itchy, broken crackers served in the front lobby. The list could go on and on. They say it's a bed and breakfast, but ITS NOT. There is NO breakfast because of "COVID" which was 6 years ago. No customer service, not even to help with luggage up any stairs. Bare minimum treatment and accommodations, room rates should be no more than 100$/night for a place like this, it's comparable to a motel 6. Poor mattresses and pillows. Luxury hotels like the Hilton are now charging the same price for rooms in the heart of Boston.

The Bowers House is very close to the Red Line, which you can hop on to get to Harvard, MIT, and more. The host Steven was warm and friendly and took the time to show me around the kitchen and loves getting to know his guests. As others have pointed out, the breakfast is simple, heavy on carbs and a variety of milks for protein. Other than that, I will definitely come back. For the location, amenities, and the low cost, it is very well worth it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
