    I had a nice stay at the Yotel Boston! I appreciated the quick kiosk check in option. My room was clean with a very interesting adjustable bed. I think to make the room bigger the bed moves and folds upwards (almost like hospital beds). Mattress and pillow were pretty standard. I loved the LED lights with all the color options! Good amount of storage space for the size of the room. Standard amenities all present. Some of my devices connected to wifi on the first time without any issues while others needed several tries; however once I got connected, I didnt have any issues. Some staff members were very friendly while others were more neutral although polite. I believe valet parking is available. They have restaurant on the first floor and bar on the top floor.

    I stayed here from Monday till Thursday and it was very nice I picked it because it was close to the South station and and the major transit lines. I walked in in the front desk said my room was ready earlier then they said on the website which is always nice. I went into this knowing the rooms were very small but I was going to spend most of my time exploring the city so I didn't need a big room and in the end it's actually was perfect. The room was very clean I love the color changing lights around the TV there was more than enough electric outlets for me. The bed was very comfortable And it was adjustable and in my opinion one of the most soundproof hotels I have ever stayed in because if there was other people on my floor I didn't hear them coming and going like I do at other hotels. The only loud thing was the air conditioner unit But I got used to that after the second night. Overall I would stay here again The location, The cleanliness end well-maintained room worked wonders for me

    Rooms are tiny but I enjoyed my stay here. It was just me and my toddler so we had enough space, but you literally have to put the bed in the upright couch position (yes the beds move) in order to have ample space to get your suitcases in and walk around to the bathroom. I love that the room is updated and modern. The shower is strong and hot! There's not much space to put your toiletries bag though. I would have felt cramped here if my husband was on the trip. The rooms are so small that you have to use the desk as a dresser to hold your clothes, fyi. I still give this hotel 5 stars though because of its awesome location (trader joe's is right next door) and the seaport area is super nice and safe. Additionally, I appreciated how nice the staff was. They let me check in at 7am since I got in on a red eye, and waived the $100 early check in fee for me. It truly made my week that I was able to check in early AND at no extra cost. Overall, great stay here! I'd book them again :)

    I originally was worried about this place after seeing reviews. I've noticed that Yelp doesn't do hotels particularly well mostly because guests can have super different experiences based on luck and situation. I was here for a convention alone so this room did the trick. You see it everywhere that the rooms are small. Yes and that's the point. It was just me and it worked out just fine. The only drawback was that there were a bunch of hidden switches and buttons so it took me a couple of days to get the hang of it. They did housekeeping everyday which was kind of nice! The vibe of this place was pretty sweet and slick. The service at the front desk was excellent and its location cannot be beat. I wasn't a huge fan of their restaurants, but I guess nothing can be perfect. If you want a clean hotel that is far from boring and in a happening place, this will do the trick

    It is as advertised - small rooms, clean and comfortable. If you're just looking to crash near the outdoor amphitheater in Boston, then this is the place. Affordable and has a nice breakfast in the morning. In the middle of everything.

    This is a great hotel for a visit to Boston. It is located next to the Courthouse Station, and if you want to walk about 15 minutes, you can access more transit lines at South Station without having to transfer. There's a restaurant on the first floor, and several restaurants are located near the hotel. There's a Trader Joe's right around the corner and a CVS about a block away. Yotel is in a convenient location. The hotel room is clean and compact. The bed must be extended by pressing a button to move the bed from a sitting position. There is an abundant amount of USB outlets. A folding chair is provided, and there's a slide-out desktop for your computer. There are built-in areas around the TV for putting your things and more charging outlets. One drawback is that there's no door between the sleeping area and the bathroom. There's only a curtain that still lets light and noise into the sleeping area. The bathroom has a towel warmer. A hairdryer, iron, and ironing board are supplied.

    Yotel was always on the list of fun hotels I would like to stay at. So when I knew I was visiting Boston, I also knew this is where I wanted to stay. I booked before the holidays; and for staying during a holiday weekend, the price was extremely reasonable. This is in no way a 5 star hotel. But I definitely give them four stars. They rooms are the bare minimum but are extremely pleasing. They offer beds that incline, so great for sitting in the bed to watch tv. No robes or bath tub but the monsoon showers were very lovely as well as the towel warmers that are not so strategically placed (in the closet toilet). Mood lighting was awesome and turned off when no movement is detected after a while One minor detail that turned me off was when we ordered water bottles to our room that never arrived, so poor communication I'm assuming. Also the room lacked a mini fridge for keeping my food and drinks cold. No safe either??!!! We were able to drop off our bags since we arrived extra early and they allowed me to check in about an hour earlier and check out an hour later. There is no room service and the bar is extremely overpriced. Throughout everything though, I give it 4 stars. We were upgraded for free to a higher floor, maids did a nice job at cleaning our room and the bottom floor restaurant/bar were pretty good. I would stay back here again but probably not for a long time.

    Fun hotel. Small rooms but it was no surprise based on the website. Went for a corner room for a little upgrade in space. Had a problem in our original room and staff offered a new room without hesitation. Room was clean and fun with a bit of a modern/European vibe. Perfect location for a weekend in the Seaport. Lots of restaurants/bars/clubs/live entertainment as close as across the street and more writhing a short walk.

    We decided to have a staycation and chose to explore Yotel and booked reservations at their two restaurants (Deck 12 and Vela, reviewed separately). I believe they were going through some renovations of their programs, since a lot of things were unfortunately broken and felt like they weren't thought out through. When arriving, it was easy to check in by ourselves at their tablets and get our room keys. Our room was cute and everything was flight themed! We were expecting to make full use of all their cool perks listed on the website. Unfortunately, many of them ended up being broken. We weren't able to use the chromecast in the room and the phone to call the concierge and HDMI ports were also broken. We had to make many trips up and down from our room to get the issues resolved since the phone wasn't working at first. The other thing that stood out was their cleaning staff was unaware of when the guests were checking out. We had a cleaning staff come knock on our door twice, asking us when we were leaving/checking out, even though we were checking out the next day. It kind of threw us into a panic, thinking we booked the wrong number of nights and woke us up in the morning. They also have a robot, YO2D2 that can deliver food to your room! It was super cute and a fun interaction.

Now the area is always busy and non stop traffic, but it was centrally located for the things I wanted to do. I only did ride share for things that were outside of the downtown Boston area or too far to walk with my mom. The hotel is clean, front desk associate Wensley, was always so kind and pleasant whenever I needed something or returned from sight seeing. I was in a premium double queen and OMG, spacious room, barn door bathroom, hardwood flooring, a seating area, view of the greenway, fridge in the room, and an overall very nice and comfortable room. It was enough space for us; we weren't stepping over each other and we used the extra seating area as a changing area when we needed to change for the evening dinners. My only complaint is with housekeeping, the room was rarely cleaned prior to 4pm and we would leave around 9am every day. We only received 2 face towels despite asking for 4. After going to the front desk and asking a note be entered we finally received enough face towels. We couldn't figure out when they would take our bath towels, we put them on the floor they would take them, put them on the rack they would take them. I have always put them on the floor and if on the rack it means I'm using them again. Either way, I did appreciate fresh towels on the days the room would be cleaned prior to our return. Overall the stay was comfortable, the bed and pillows were comfortable and I slept better there than at home. I'm starting to notice a pattern with sleeping away from home....maybe I should stay away from home more often! One thing to note, each floor has an ice and filtered water machine. That was a nice touch and it kept me from having to purchase bottled water and spending extra money for delivery of water.

What was most frustrating was the complete lack of accountability. No one seemed willing to take ownership of the issue or make a genuine effort to resolve it. The front desk staff were consistently rude, dismissive, and unwilling to help. Every interaction felt like an inconvenience to them rather than an opportunity to assist a paying guest. The customer service I received was far below what I would expect from a hotel in this category - As someone who travels 3 to 4 times a month for work and leisure, this was the first hotel in my life where I chose not to leave a tip. Tipping is something I normally do gladly when I receive even a basic level of service, but the attitude and lack of professionalism displayed by the staff made it impossible to justify. The breakfast was also disappointing. Having stayed at other AKA properties, I found the quality significantly lower than the standard I have experienced elsewhere within the brand. The location was another concern. The area around the hotel, particularly the park directly across the street, often felt uncomfortable and poorly maintained. As a solo traveler, I would not have felt comfortable walking around the area alone at night. Between the unresolved billing issue, poor customer service, underwhelming breakfast, and concerns about the surrounding area, this was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I have had. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this property to others.

It tasted wonderful, like an autumnal tea, and all our teas came in beautifully decorated tea pots, apparently from Australia. The Four Seasons also does this interesting thing where they give you a liquor that fits with your tea order, to be added if you wish or drank by itself. I had a sip of mine and from someone else's, a bit strong for me but a bailey's one was alright. I'm fine with just tea myself! As for the food, this year's high tea was one of the best I've had. The menu was different from last year's, which was great too but in my opinion this seemed like an upgrade. Some of the food items included pieces of salmon in a little pastry, mini lobster roll, peking duck crepe, curried chicken croissant, a beautiful deviled egg, vanilla bean and brown butter scones, an eggnog tart, and a Santa hat shaped raspberry pastry. We even got some alternate options for a lactose sensitive person, so that's a great plus as well. The atmosphere was elegant and calming, and the service was great. The Four Seasons high tea was a very special holiday event, and comes highly recommended!
