Space was smaller than I expected but certainly worked. One of the blinds didn’t close fully. Overall though, a nice place that had a lot of charm to it!

Lots to say and enjoy about the location. Communication is a little challenging. Tv did not work and was almost 24 hours before someone at the property attempted to address. The app is also not my favorite . But that’s the only negative if that is even negative. Really like the place it’s Comfortable, great location, perfect for a long weekend couples trip. Would recommend!
Perfect spot for walking around Boston and seeing the sights! The room was clean and comfy. Easy to access the building and knew they were only a quick call or message away if we needed assistance!
Great room in back Bay Area. Easy check in with good communications from Sonder. Room small but clean and very comfortable. Would highly recommend

Disliked: Cleanliness
It smelt like sewage really bad. We did not feel clean at all and the room was small and lacked amenities. Overall would not return and were upset with the quality of our stay for the price we paid. The sewage issue needs to be taken care of asap. The one positive is the location. Excellent location for walking. Parking is difficult but there are plenty of nearby garages if you’re willing to pay!

The sleeping conditions were pretty bad and parking was a nightmare yesterday. Area around the hotel is nice, lots of options to eat at.
Best location, easy to access everything. Very convenient and safe area.

The room smelled like smoke, and the bathroom smelled musty. There might be a mold problem.

This property charged be a steep fee for “evidence of smoking”. Neither my husband nor I are smokers, not to mention the fact I am 20 weeks pregnant and was traveling with a 1 year old. When I asked to see the evidence they said the matter was not up for debate. They have not returned any of communications but quickly charged my card.
We had a fantastic stay here. The bed was super comfortable and the room was very nice. We also appreciated the library and outdoor space. The location is fantastic - on a quieter road right next to loads of Back Bay shops and restaurants. We will certainly be staying here again next time we’re in Boston!
Great location! Nice property in a fantastic area, but my room on the first floor had an unpleasant, musty smell and dust in the corners of the ceiling that made it feel not so clean. I would probably not stay here again unless there were no other nearby options or the price was much lower.
The rudest customer service I’ve ever dealt with- do not stay here

The room was very clean, and had a nice view looking out to commonwealth ave. I was worried about parking, but was only there for a night so parked at the garage next to King's which was only a 4 minute walk. The check in was seamless and all communications overall were great!
