For someone who spends 100+ nights a year on the road, this was one of the best stays I have ever had. The room was incredibly comfortable and well appointed.

For someone who spends 100+ nights a year on the road, this was one of the best stays I have ever had. The room was incredibly comfortable and well appointed. The location could not be better and the staff is possibly the best I have experienced. Seriously, everyone we interacted with was friendly and truly seemed to care. I would be remiss in not highlighting Marianne and all that she did to make our first stay in Boston one that we would not forget. Thank you so much for making this trip so special. Read less

We were in town visiting colleges and we picked W Boston for two nights. We made the right choice! Everything was wonderful. The staff was very nice, and the room was spotless and tidy.

I've stayed in several hotels and AirBnBs in the area and I have to say, W Boston has been my favorite. 1. You get a happy welcome greeting when you arrive and the receptionist who greets you gives his / her / their name and says they can be contacted for any needs. 2. The rooms are well appointed and they have a bit of a rock and roll vibe. I… Read more
I've stayed in several hotels and AirBnBs in the area and I have to say, W Boston has been my favorite. 1. You get a happy welcome greeting when you arrive and the receptionist who greets you gives his / her / their name and says they can be contacted for any needs. 2. The rooms are well appointed and they have a bit of a rock and roll vibe. I liked the black, white and gray (with some red) of the rooms, I liked the foot warmers which have the white on black Aerosmith inspired wings designs (Massachusetts IS the birthplace of Aerosmith after all), I liked the spaciousness of the rooms and the Edgar Allan Poe portrait in the bathroom is a nice touch. 3. In-room dining is available until very late at night (often just before midnight), they are prompt and the food is delicious. 4. The beds are so soft and comfortable. I always had a good sleep. 5. The views were good. 6. They had an umbrella for me on a rainy day. 7. If you use the BONVOY app, you get a quick response on the chat. 8. I left behind some items and after going on chat and reaching out to Lost and Found, they were able to recover the items and mail them to me! 9. The gym was spacious and clean and well equipped. THANK YOU W BOSTON! Read less

Check in was brilliant - thanks to Megan. Our room was terrific. We got upgraded to a Cool Corner King which was beautiful. Huge, newly renovated, big armchair and very comfy chaise, huge excellent bed, and a bathroom with a proper soaking bath. Flooded with light from floor to ceiling windows and the location is amazing, a five to the common. Like everywhere in Boston it's expensive, but we felt it was worth it! Read less

Great stay at the W Boston. The rooms were nice, clean, and well appointed. The staff were very friendly. Special thanks to Louis (valet, bellhop, busboy), Courtney, Marianne, and Daniella. The bar downstairs has good drinks and a fun evening vibe (with DJs on the weekend). The hotel is centrally located in Boston and it is easy to get around. The subway station is only 2 blocks away. For late night eats there’s Halal Guys across the street. The gym has a nice variety of equipment and was clean. The street does get busy and if you’re a light sleeper than earplugs may be a good idea. Read less
