I booked through the hotels website. They offer a choice of smoking or non-smoking. I chose smoking. At the time of check-in I was notified there is no smoking anywhere in the building. The desk told me that was a special request and that all requests were not guaranteed. I contacted Kimpton(the hotels owners), and they said the same thing-special... more

Ms. Carter, thank you for your feedback regarding your recent visit As of January 1st, our hotel is 100% smoke free, as are most public establishments in the state of Massachusetts. Our reservation system allows guests to book at any one of our hotels throughout North America, some of which still allow smoking. This is the reason that the option...

This was my second stay at the Boston Onyx. They do a great job at maintaining a small boutique hotel. The rooms are not the largest, but that is expected in a large city. The bed was very comfortable. Overall the room was very clean and did not look too worn. One very minor thing was the garbage can had... more

My Fiance and I have stayed at the Onyx twice. We went on Valentines of 2007 and were given a room and my fiance had requested roses and champagne and it was wonderfully provided. This year we went during the St. Patty's day weekend. Although the hotel was very busy as many people were coming in and out, the front... more

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at the Onyx Hotel last weekend. The service at the hotel was outstanding from the front desk, concierge, bartenders, etc. Checking in, we were greeted by the friendly front desk staff. They informed us that our room was ready and we would be located on the 9th floor. Once we arrived... more

Upon check in greeted with very friendly staff. Room nicely appointed with every need. Even given an umbrella to use while staying. Small bar/restaurant area. Free wine and cheese every evening from 5pm to 6pm. Rooms a little small but very clean. One of the best hotels i have stayed in. more

Great hotel, great service, clean and comfortable. Upon entering I could tell we were in for great service, the very attentive front desk is more than happy to help. We stayed 3 nights ($140.00US/night). The main purpose of our trip was to take in hockey and basketball at the Garden so the location was ideal … the neighbourhood is a... more

Thank you for your great feedback about your recent stay. Unfortunately it against the law in the state of Massachusetts to bring outside alcohol into a licensed establishment. This is the reason that the Onyx H.otel does not allow beer/wine/liquor to be brought in from the outside

I stayed here for 2 nights. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and the sevice was excellant. more

We stayed at the Onxy for 3 nights over Superbowl weekend (go Giants!). The rooms are nice, quite spacious and well decorated, bathroom roomy and well fitted but the overall feeling in the hotel is that it's a converted office block (not least as it overlooks office buildings opposite). The reception area has a bar & restaurant (the Ruby room)... more

We had the most interesting fourth of July visit to Boston and were treated exceptionally well by the staff at the Onyx. From the great conversations during wine hour to the generousity of the staff for some unusual requests, we were greeted with friendliness, generosity and entertainment on all fronts. Our room was clean and the special 4th of July... more
