Sabrina at the front desk was amazing. In short notice she helped us with so many request and never once made us feel like she was annoyed Thank you so much Sabrina for all your hospitality. You are the standard! read more

We walked in for the rooftop bar around 1145pm when the website said it closed at 1am. The front desk said to head upstairs quickly since they were doing last call because they actually actually close at midnight. His excuse was that they don't have time to update the time on their website. We took the elevator up and we were told by the hosts that the rooftop bar has been closed for a private event all night. Horrible communication between the workers, who honestly seem like they have no idea what they're doing to begin with. read more

This hotel routinely uses a fraudulent method to charge guests $500 for allegedly smoking in their rooms. They will not allow any way to dispute their assertion by claiming they have scientific proof - a sheet of paper with a graph on it. Never, ever stay there! read more

7am fire alarm test without telling guests until the day before. Doesn't work well for global travelers. And I was not notified when I checked in. Rooms are small but at least clean and beds are comfortable. It's generally worth the price when compared to other Boston area hotels. But the small things going wrong add up. Gym has two treadmills and one has not worked since the last time I visited. Water fountain also doesn't work. Next time I'll just pay up. read more

Stayed at this hotel for a conference to find that if you are 6 feet and taller this is not the place for you. You will understand what I mean when you wake up the first morning and bump your head on the above bunk bed. I also would not recommend this hotel for anyone who is handicap as the hotel is handicapped by its staff already. The morning of my departure I found a bug in my towel on the floor in my shower called the main desk, Nabila, who answered the phone, said someone would be right up to take care of it. I waited 30 minutes and no one showed. Unfortunately, you'll have to judge for yourself, but before warned. read more

After arriving in Boston on a redeye flight in the early morning, I had to wait 2 hours for my room. Not good with a performance at a conference afterparty later in the evening. Booked online with specific instructions to hold it (see photo) AND followed that up with a phone call in advance just to confirm. The mistake was acknowledged by not getting charged, but the whole point of paying for it to begin with was to get some rest. Just say NO to Yotel Boston. read more

Horrible customer/guest service upon checking out. Was charged $500 for a smoking fee that they cannot show proof of. I am 8 months pregnant..and we are not smokers. They sneakily have a detection system in each room they do not warn you or tell you about upon arriving and checking into your room, but casually tell you about it at check out while charging your credit card $500 if the system detects any sort of smoke/marijuana/vape in the room. Again, we aren't smokers. The funny part is, we have proof that we were not even in our room at the said time this "smoking detection" went off. But unfortunately the general manager and the front desk staff are beyond unprofessional and not helpful when asked to find proof and look more into the situation. Their story and "facts" keep changing with each phone call we have made to them. We asked for camera footage of when we left the room, which clearly showed leaving at a specific time and according to the air detector in the room it was "triggered" AFTER anyone was in the room. Sadly the hotel was no help and we have resorted to filing a claim with our credit card company who has been more help.. don't stay here!! read more

Booked an overnight stay for a quick trip into the city. Location: Prime location in the ever-expanding Seaport District and surrounded by countless new restaurants and venues. Just a 10 minute walk to Amtrak at South Station and the Financial District. Stopped by a nearby cafe one morning and enjoyed a coffee while strolling along the Harborwalk! Service: When fully staffed, the front desk has only two agents which can make for a longer wait at times. When I arrived, it was pouring and I had to make multiple trips to carry my bags into the lobby from my car and fetch the valet. The gentlemen who checked me in was friendly and provided a thorough orientation of the property. Once checked in, I called housekeeping for a toothbrush and they sent the robot to my room which provided prompt service and was highly amusing! Upon checkout, I had to wait 20 minutes for my car to be brought around. Accommodations: The room has a small walkway between the bed and TV which becomes even smaller once the SmartBed is fully adjusted to lay flat. Since it was just myself, I didn't mind this minimalist setup. I did have a problem with the glass enclosed shower, which didn't seem to block any water from escaping when the door was fully shut creating a huge puddle on the floor every time I showered. I also didn't love the purple lighting and in the bedroom area. The bed was overall comfortable and I liked the option to sit up in bed while watching TV! I also really appreciated the ice and water station just a few steps outside my door! Food: After a long day, I chose to order takeout from the Sky Bar. I decided on the turkey club wrap and subbed the chips with a side salad. The waitress was so friendly and I didn't have to wait long for the order. The wrap was a good size and the ingredients seemed to be of good quality. Other Amenities: Used the 24 hour fitness center in the morning which was again small but has a nice view. I unfortunately couldn't figure out the TV on the Life Fitness treadmill so just opted for the virtual trail setting which was surprisingly motivating! Overall, the hotel met my expectations for a quick overnight stay and the staff is helpful and friendly. read more

I have to say that I really loved this hotel. The service was amazing and the rooms are exactly what I expected. I had gotten a room with a bunk on special and had added a note that I prefer one without it if ends up being available. I was given a free upgrade to a room with a city view. I love the mood lighting and the bed was good, plenty of outlets. I dig the overall theme of this place and the rooftop lounge was very cool. I had a couple drinks with friends and we liked our chicken satay. The lounge and bar area near the entry are also awesome for guests. I unfortunately did not need anything from YO2D2 but I did see him in the lobby every day. The breakfast order is hung on the door and picked up in the lobby, not bad for grab and go when you know what time you are leaving. I was here recently so I got a better price than some since it is winter and midweek, though I used to live here and personally hate Boston in the summer. I would pay under 200 for this but I am also not someone who pays 300+ for a room anywhere, not my thing. Winter prices here are pretty great. Before I arrived I got a text asking if I need anything, and they were happy to provide the mini fridge I requested. It is small and only holds a few drinks, fyi. They sent another text the day before I checked out. Every person I talked to in person or on the phone there was exceptionally polite and happy to help. I was greeted every time I left and returned and they got a taxi to me within a few minutes. I do not feel most places deserve 5 stars these days but this was deserved. This is a perfect place for a solo female traveler. Full size shampoo, conditioner, body/face wash, and lotion were a nice touch, good brand too. The bathroom mirror is basically a giant makeup mirror with great lighting. Your makeup and hair are about to be on point girl. Perfect pace for a girls trip. I stayed 3 nights and will definitely stay again the next time I am in town. read more

I've been to Yotel twice with the past year and it's an interesting and unique little place to stay. The rooms are very small, but if you're alone or staying with somebody that you don't mind staying in small quarters with, then you'll be alright. The rooms are also very clean. There are optional / customizable lights behind the television that light up the entire room and the beds are adjustable by switch for an upright lounging position or your typical horizontal bed position. This was really cool considering the lack of space, because you can sit the bed up to create more floor space. The mattress is also very comfortable. Also, there is a space to store your luggage underneath the bed. The shower was awesome, it had two shower head options. One was detachable and handheld, and the other was a monsoon shower head on the ceiling. Both were very comfortable and useful. There's no actual door on the bathroom, there is a curtain for privacy- However, there are glass doors that close in both the toilet area and the shower area. You can also open the window in your room for fresh area which we really enjoyed. The hotel advertises it's rooms as soundproof but we unfortunately disagree. You can easily hear noise from the hallway, and next door. We woke up to some loud music the morning of our check-out. A simple call to the front desk helped resolve this issue. Yotel is a budget friendly and futuristic hotel that we really enjoy staying in the Seaport District area. The location is great. Keep in mind that it's $50 for valet parking, but this is an average price given the location. Prices on drinks at the skyBar rooftop bar upstairs are steep ($16 for a simple rum cocktail, nothing special and very small) and so are the drinks in the lobby bar but we will just drink elsewhere next time. Also, the skyBar really doesn't have all that great of a view. We will still be returning to Yotel next time we are in the area, we really do enjoy staying here. read more

This was the best price (low $200's) that I found in the metro Boston area for a Fri-Sun stay. I wasn't sure how the hotel would be, based on the mixed reviews, but I was very happy with my stay. Very good location: The map of Boston looks big, but the blocks are actually very short & very walkable. It's one stop ('Courthouse'), across the water from South Station (silver line- actually a bus shuttle. Runs often). The hotel's right next to the station. There's lots of cafe's, public spaces with great bay views, ICA & Children's Museum, shopping (lulemon, LL Bean, Warby Parker, pop-up shops in public plazas), a movie theater across the street, co-working spaces, CVS 2 blocks away, Shake Shack is next door. Recommend: Flour Bakery, Columbe Coffee, fuku, Sweetgreen, Taiyaki Ice Cream & Lucky's Lounge for Brunch. Rooms facing the street does get noisy from the Beer Garden diagonal from the hotel & public plaza with music near the movie theater. (You can crack open your window) Customer Service was very good & a nice diverse group, very quick check in & out. The rooms are (obviously) small, like a comfortable but larger boat cabin- or comfortable NYC Studio. There's nooks & crannies for everything- great design! Appreciate the dual window shades & drawn room/bathroom divider curtain. Everything's clean & modern, including the coat hangers. The bunk bed is a full twin, the bottom bed is a good mattress. It is like a futon on a motor- folds in half to make a sort of 'couch' & then push the button to extend for a bed. Realized that it was nice to have a bit of an angle to sleep...didn't need 2 pillows! There's lots of towels, hand towels, wash cloths, nice liquid soap/body wash, shampoo/conditioner & a Coriander/Dill body lotion. -the products are for sale downstairs. The light around the TV has different colors, I changed it to white. It turns off on a motion timer, to save energy. Water & ice stations on each floor. There's a small gym on the 2nd floor. Towels, water, mats & medicine balls, weights, treadmills. Not a fan that people from the bar/roofdeck next door can watch you exercising, but that's city life. The PH Bar has an indoor section & small outdoor patio. More like a smaller lounge/bar, not a large roof deck like I expected. There's meeting rooms & 'phone booths' on the 1st floor, chess & tic tac toe, books. Suggestions/Things: - elevator had a hard time scanning my room pass to get to my floor - lots of people traffic going in & out to the PH Bar (open to Public) - Request a free MINI Fridge at Check-In. It LITERALLY can fit 2 XL Coffees, 4 navel oranges or something. Not normal food containers. Keep in Mind.. I actually brought some large sandwich bags. - room door was sticky/hard to open in the morning - the luggage/'closet' area fits a small suitcase, laid down. A large suitcase wouldn't do well in the space. -the ladder up to the bunk bed is super narrow & flat against the wall. Wish it was angled out. I'd say the steps are 2-3 inches in depth. Seems pretty dangerous, even for my 100lb active self. - nice idea to enclose the shower stall & toilet for privacy. The toilet area NEEDS a vent...because it's enclosed. The vent near the shower didn't seem active. The shower leaked in the front. - the toilet & shower had designs in the glass, but pretty sure people can see you in the bathroom area from the restaurants/patios across the street, especially at night with lights FYI, so don't forget about the shades! - the sink was MINI, to wash my face, I have to angle myself sideways. Otherwise it's fine. - FREE $5 Food Credit: didn't work. You can leave the door tag hanging during your stay, to be Green; so housekeeping doesn't change your sheets. However, the 1st & last day of your stay doesn't apply to it & on the middle days, you have to leave it out all day. The credit is applied during check out, but I didn't see anything mentioned. $4 for coffee, $9 for eggs & toast, $3 muffins, $4 fruit cups (standard hotel quality)....Actually it may have worked? I never got an email with the bill. read more

Great stay! It was a nice central location to the conference center and loved the food!

If you're into sleeping in submarines this place is for you. From the fridge being the size of a toy toaster, the cramped quarters, or the horrible service, I don't even know where to start. I will say that if you're accidentally locked out of your room in nothing but your underwear, it will take them over an hour and multiple attempts for them to get you back in. I had to go down to the lobby barefooted in nothing but boxers for them to show disingenuous concern. Never again. read more

This is my 1st time staying at a yotel and I have to say it was pretty good. My 1st impression of the room was that it looked like a space pod. Perhaps that is what they're going 4 since they call their front desk mission control. The bed was extremely comfortable, the rain shower is awesome, I love having full size soaps and shampoos. The room could definitely be a little bit bigger, but I had fun playing with the disco light settings. My main complaint is that there is construction going on all around the hotel so the noise of the construction started very early at 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning, but this isn't really an issue that their hotel can control. read more

I found dirty, used panties in my room. I'm so glad I paid an extra $30 to check into a dirty room. When I told management about the panties they apologized but never had anyone get them out of my room. The staff was extremely misogynistic, even the female staff members agreed with me. Jon was rude when I checked in. He was more than willing to help the couple check in but passive aggressively told me to use the computer to check-in. I really appreciated watching the people that came in after me get their keys & room before me. I also had major issues with all of the men at the rooftop bar. When I tried to go on the patio I was told "it's not going to happen". Later that night he same guy (I think Antonio) later cornered at the elevators me in the lobby aggressively asking me if I was still trying to get into the rooftop bar. No, I was staying there & just trying to go to my room but thanks for the harassment. If you're a woman I do not recommend staying here! They do not want to serve you. It wasn't just me who had issues being helped. Women of all ages were the last to be helped at both bars. The lobby bartender made eye contact with me twice, said nothing to me, served two blatantly drunk men (one had his shirt almost completely unnoticed) then asked what we wanted without giving us menus in a tone that made me feel like I was annoying him with my existence. I REALLY liked the hotels style & location but the staff made it awful & the dirty panties were disgusting. read more

Very artsy hotel with some interesting ideas (some work and some don't.) As it's not a food place, I'll split it by +s and -s. + Very good WiFi +Bed was comfy +Shower had good pressure +Easy check-in. +TV has internet though Youtube restarted the video entirely whenever an add showed. =Bathroom was massive, frankly larger than most of the room. =You need your room key for everything, good for security, bad for moving around. =TV mood lighting was...interesting. -Room was tiny for the price outside of the bathroom -No way to lock a bathroom door. Curtains/a sliding door reminded me of some European spots so it's fine for couples but not much else. -No room for suitcases. - Not enough towels/cups. -Rain shower didn't work. -Odd bathroom layout in terms of towels. --A staff member got very mad when multiple people showed asking whether our group would be quiet enough. He also followed some of us going to the room which was nice and creepy. Honestly, what do you take us for? I personally wouldn't stay here more than one/two nights as the rooms feel super cramped. We personally stayed on the 10th floor all the way in back. read more

So I'm reading a bunch of these reviews and the following comments stand out: "OMG why is the room so small, TOTALLY unexpected" and "HOLY SMOKES there's construction going on." 1. There are plenty of photos on the website of the rooms (including the size wow!). 2. I'm sure construction isn't something the management had deviously planned to wake you up in the morning. Anyways here's what's up: The short: They reduce costs by reducing necessary staffing by doing things like having patrons make their own key cards. Good for a place to sleep and put your stuff while doing stuff. The good + Awesome price for a pretty great location -- quick walk to any sort of activities at The Exchange, you can get to South Station in a jiffy and Boston Commons and Chinatown are close by too. + Bed is comfy + Gym is adequate + TV is decent + Shower has that rainforest thing, plus a mobile handle to get those hard to reach spots... The not so good - Card sensors for making key cards, using the elevator and sometimes even opening the doors had very small margins for error. They have to be placed in a very specific manner to get them to work. - There's a window right in the bathroom that essentially had me flashing folks (not really a con for me I guess), but when I closed the blinds the room got a bit too dark - Not a lot of room, but as expected Would totally stay here again for a quick trip on a budget! read more

The front staff seemed very bothered when my friends and I asked for instructions on how to get to the rooftop. I thought, maybe the rooftop was only for the hotel guests; however, restrictions were not mentioned on their website. The service was not ideal; we noticed a server greeted and provided menus to the group next to us, though, did not do the same for us..we had to go to the bar to request menus. We ordered a couple frozen drinks and they were fairly good - very limited flavor options and our drinks took awhile to come out. read more

I ended staying here for business, not my choice. When I heard I was staying here, I cringed, simply because I knew what I was in for. Let me start by saying this hotel is considered a micro hotel. That word 'micro' is used in every sense. I arrived at about 1230am after a long day of travel to be greeted by someone working the front desk. She was friendly and immediately directed me to the kiosks to do check in myself and walked me through. Now this is great if there was a line or if I was a loyalty member, but there was no line at 1230am and she didn't ask if I had been here before so why teach me something at 1230am when clearly I show signs of being tired? So I get to my room which they call, 'cabins'. If you've ever stayed in a cruise ship, this is about the size, if not a little bigger, emphasis on 'little'. When you open the door to your room you immediately are one step away from your bed, seriously. It sits upright much like a hospital bed or futon would. It's controlled by a switch that you have to hold down in order for it to convert to a bed. Once you do that, getting past the bed, you pretty much have to climb over it. Once you get to the bathroom area, that word 'micro' comes back into play w/ the sink area. If you turn the water on full blast, you're getting splashed. The counter space is small as well, not really that much room for two people to share it. Good luck ladies! They do have one of those mirrors women love to take selfies in thought. The shower and toilet are separated by a glass wall that you can basically see through even though there is a pattern placed on it. So if you're sharing a room you'll have to draw the curtain, but you can't use the toilet and shower at the same time. One of the oddest things about this room is they have a towel warmer above the toilet. So that means you have to get out of the shower, walk into the toiler to get the towel. WTF? If you're planning to hang up all your clothes, you only get 6 hangers. The bed is comfy. They have lots of outlets and USB outlets for all your charging needs. There isn't that much privacy as I can hear just about everything not only through the walls, but through the front door, since your bed is right by it. The place IS clean everywhere. I keep hearing people say that it's futuristic, but I don't see it. They refer to their lobby as 'mission control', but it seems like a place to congregate and that's not even at the bar they have downstairs. They have a rooftop bar that everyone loves and I see why. This hotel sits smack dab in the middle of the seaport and is close to a lot of things. However there are a few other hotels that are cheaper that offer more amenities included in the price such as a pool, larger gym, full kitchen, larger living space, breakfast, snacks and/or a happy hour. This hotel is ideal for a night or two maybe, but not for longer. I felt cramped and lived out of my suitcase because the room felt so small. read more

Well............horrible customer service for one. And for 2nd. and 3rd. I just keep getting bad, horrible, service. They don't even try to be held accountable for anything they do that's wrong....they look at you with dead eyes and say what is in their manual. There's no human emotion to any of them. I wanted to do something cute for my boyfriend for New Years and decided to book a hotel here cuz i heard some good things....Well, I'm so disappointed. I would definitely have paid an extra 200 to get the fuck away from this place. From the beginning, the staff has no idea what they are talking about....they aren't personable....they don't care much for anything at all. Customer service was OUT the window. I will NEVER come back here again. I just have to deal with this night and walk far, far, away from here. Seriously though, stay away. I shoulda shelled out an extra 100 to not deal with this bullshit. read more

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at!! Area: in downtown, close to everything and practically walking distance to all of the cool attractions in town. Definitely worth investing just because of the area. Check in: fastest check in experience I have ever had. Nice front desk employees. Room: best part!!! Feels like I'm living in my own space pod, years in the future. Just enough room, everything is super modern. Shower ceiling, heated towel rack, Bluetooth, foldable bed, so many cool amenities. Very clean and they even leave a note with who cleaned your room. You can also explore the rooftop for an amazing view of Boston! Bonus: room service is a robot! We were so excited to order things just so we could interact with this robot that made me feel like I've been to the year 3000. Oh, and they also had a live band playing one night downstairs by the bar. touché. Already looking forward to my next visit. read more

horrific hotel. None of the check-in tech worked, the QR code for ordering food in the room was faulty, and the TV was broken. The staff was extremely unhelpful - when we called from our room phone to ask a question we would get one answer, and then would get a different answer when asking in person at the front desk. Housecleaning also walked in on us without knocking - a terrible surprise to be greeted by while having sex. The hotel offered us no compensation or apology for this incident on top of all the broken technology. We will not be returning. Would not wish staying here on my worst enemy. read more

In all fairness, this might be a great hotel for some travelers, but in this case, not so much. My client put me up in Boston for an event, and I had no idea about the Yotel theme (never got to see the robot butler, by the way). The room was small, dominated by the bed which was VERY comfortable - I loved the adjustability from TV viewing to flat for sleeping. Nice. The shower was large, room for two and the overhead shower was quite pleasant, since the angle of the wand on the wall wasn't adjustable. The sink was tiny - as I was shaving i felt like I was going to bang my head into the mirror, and there wasn't much room for my toiletries - i kept my dopp kit on the floor. What the room lacked was a desk, a chair, and a dresser. As a writer, I spend most of my days... well, writing, and a desk would have made my day there much more productive. There are plenty of places to set up a laptop in the lobby, however the volume of the music made it impossible for me to think, much less write. SO, I ended up using the ironing board as a desk and sat on the edge of the bed. It was wobbly, but at least it was quiet! I ended up with my suitcase on the floor, and lived out of it for the two nights I was in residence. The 'cabin' I was in also had a bunk bend over the main bed, which would be great for families, however it was just a bit claustrophobic for me alone. SO, I give it three stars as a businessperson hotel, for lack of desk and chair. Otherwise, clean, comfy, and very cozy. read more

First time staying in this new Hotel in the Seaport area in Boston. Very futuristic concept and looks. As soon as you walk into the lobby you see the minimalistic decor, a self check-in area. There was staff around in case you had any questions or concerns. The rooms vary in size depending on your budget, I originally had booked a basic room, they are referred to as pods, it was a good size, with a bed and bathroom, I did however found the space a bit tight so I went back to the lobby and spoke to one of the agents, she was very kind and offered me a complimentary upgrade to a bigger pod, thank you for that, I appreciated the customer service. This pod had a much comfortable space, a nice queen size bed than can change incline positions, that was a plus and makes your relaxation time more customizable, well thought. The room has plenty of power outlets, including USB ports as well as HDMI and AUX outlet, which came in handy when I connected my iPod to it, the sounds comes out of the TV speakers, first time I see these many options in a room. Bathroom was spacious and comfortable, a great shower with a waterfall like feel that comes straight from the ceiling. I did notice however that there is no fan in the bathroom and it can get pretty stuffy in there, I did notice a few leak spots on the ceiling with a few bubbles and damage. You can request a fridge in the room which they did provide, small but with enough room to keep some essentials, that came in handy for me. Overall I had a great experience in this hotel and would highly recommend it. Great location, right next door to public transportation, plenty of parking garages around if you have a car (they are expensive) but that is normal in any big city. Walking distance to bars and restaurants as well as just minutes away to other parts of Boston. read more

First night at Yotel, so far, so good. Clean hotel, clean rooms, friendly staff, very accommodating. Rooms are small, but perfect for our stay & they seem to be fairly new. Nice bar located at the main entrance, lots of seating and games to play and great music! Valet is $50.00 and you get to park and take out as many times as you want. Flat fee. The place is also pretty stylish, not outdated whatsoever. Location is perfect, close to a lot of what we wanted to do. I'll definitely come back again. read more

I was in Boston for a conference in the Seaport area and the organizers reserved a block of rooms at this hotel, so I chose it without really doing any research on it. This hotel bills itself as a 'tech-driven', 4 star hotel. Cool. I try to stay at 4 star hotels whenever possible because if I'm going to be away from home for a week or more I like to have some space to spread out and relax in a comfortable environment after hours. Imagine my surprise when I opened the door to my room to find an 8'x12' space with a fold up bed, and no desk! And there were burn marks on the carpet. Reminded me at first of a hospital room, but MUCH smaller. Then I realized it was more like the cabins on a cruise ship. And not the good ones. The 'bathroom' (an extension of the room with a curtain divider) had a tiny sink with no counter space. And no towels. I had no hand towels, washcloths, or floor mats upon check in. Had to ask for those to be brought in. The shower is also stupid. You can choose between a wand that has no water pressure, or an overhead 'monsoon' shower that dumps water on you indiscriminately. But don't go back and forth, because during the transition the water being dumped on you is ICE COLD. Even if not transitioning back and forth the water temperature fluctuates like +-15 degrees. Oh, and the shower leaks. Badly. So much so that if you don't put a towel down, it will saturate your carpet - because as mentioned THE SHOWER IS INSIDE THE ROOM! As for 'tech-driven' I don't think their marketing team fully understands what that means. Half the outlets didn't even work, and their IPTV service wouldn't allow access to several channels. There WAS a cool LED light strip behind the TV on a motion activated switch. Be sure to hard-power that off when you want to sleep, though, or it will turn itself on every time you roll over. Rooftop bar is kind of cool. I had a $20 burger and a $12 beer (which the waiter ended up spilling all over my colleague). Replacement beer was good, burger was meh. Staff was friendly enough and helpful with restaurant and transportation suggestions. So there's a positive for you. Actually there WAS one thing 4 star about this hotel - the PRICE. Almost $300/night! For that price, there MUST be significantly better options in the area. Believe it or not, this was actually not the worst hotel I've stayed in, but it definitely was the dumbest. I really hope this hotel is a one-off experiment, and does not represent a new trend in the hotel industry! In case you're wondering, no I won't be back. You can't make me. read more

Just checked in after a lengthy and frustrating 2 hour ordeal with the booking agency I used. Mike and Merima, at the front desk, went above and beyond. They were so kind, diligent and dutiful in helping us acquire a room after they helped me deal with the incompetence of the booking agency. Thank you both for helping make our stay, trip and my birthday a special experience! The rooms are very cozy and have awesome ambiance. (Will write a follow up review at the end of my 5 day stay.) read more

Much better than the reviews would like to have you believe. We got a great price through Hotels.com and stayed for 3 nights. Excellent location, good service and cozy but small room. The room design is very innovative, making excellent use of the small space. We liked the large Samsung flat screen TV, and the adjustable bed. Bathroom had an excellent shower and nice fixtures. Even the restaurant exceeded our expectations with quality breakfast at affordable pricing. read more

I recently stayed here for the PAX East convention. My roommate and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in one of the rooms with the bunk bed. My roommate said that it was easy to check in. The beds were extremely comfortable with nice bedding. We really enjoyed the bed/couch as well as the bunk. The builders and planners did really well with the acoustics between the bedroom and bathroom. We also rarely heard anyone from the hallway and never heard the people on either side of us. There was plenty of storage and room for 2 people. This is not the place you stay if you want to be in your room all day. It's perfect for people there for a conference or those who will be out most of the day and just need a place to come back to shower and sleep. There were a few downsides. The towel warmer rack didn't work as well as we wished. I also hope that the hotel decide on less fragrant hand/body soap and shampoo/conditioner provided. Also, I recommend requesting your car from your valet way earlier than you think you'll need it. It can take around 20 minutes due to how far the lot is. My last downside is there were no outlets on the bunk bed. Overall, my roomie and I really loved this hotel, and we'll stay here next year for PAX East again. I hope they figure out a way to have the roof deck bar open during the winter because it'd be a cool place to hang out! read more

Small rooms but very efficient. The location is super convenient. 12 min walk from South Station (red line train) and right next to the Courthouse station (silver line bus) . Their food is excellent, we had their thanksgiving dinner and it was phenomenal. Kudos to the chef. The TV has issues but I didn't bother figuring out why some channels didn't work and why I couldn't do mirror screening from my iPhone but I came mainly to see the city not stay inside the hotel. Monsoon shower was nice and I liked the LED colored lighting as well. The towel heater was also a nice touch read more

Yotel is quite an experience. It's the cheapest hotel you can probably find in the Seaport area of Boston. The rooms very small, much like you'd find in NYC. The bd has a button to allow the bed to go into an upright sitting position stion which is specifically made for the Yotel chain. There isn't much signage for the elevators so make sure to take a left after checking yourself in. The lobby and furniture was very modern and was filled with such retro furniture. I loved it! I was a little frustrated when I went turn on the shower and the spout was facing out causing the water to shoot me directly in the face. I guess the housekeepers got jokes. Ha! The only thing that I found offputting was the lack of customer service. I mean, I understand that this is a self-serve hotel, however my husband and I both walked in with a confused look on our face and the guy behind the front desk just looked at us. read more
