The hotel was the perfect location for our 4th of July in Boston. We had an incredible view of the river. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I stay in hotels 15-20 nights per year, and I've rarely had this level of service.

Great Location. Our room has an excellent river view and Boston. Running river trail just outside the door. Staff are friendly except the concierge (kind of 'cold'). Room was very comfortable and efficiently designed. Only shortcoming was the shower which was weak and the shower head was not movable. Parking stalls are extremely tight. The gym was… Read more

Stayed at Royal Sonesta in July 2019 for a whole week for work, not sure what the reason was but the prices were ridiculously expensive for a 4 star hotel - $600/night for a regular room, since it was a business trip I personally didn't care but was looking forward to seeing how good a place can be for that price. the room itself was nice and has a lot of space but a few interactions I had with the staff were not ideal. another example was how i had left the do not disturb sign on the door so they would not clean my room on a particular day as i had some sensitive work information lying around, however despite that they came in and cleaned up. overall if work pays for me to stay here i would do so but would never pay for it myself or recommend them Read less

The hotel is conveniently located with good access to both Boston and Cambridge. It has a great view of the river and is close to Museum of Science and Duck Tour. The staff are very professional and helped us change our room to another one that fit our need better.
