The Charlesmark is a hidden gem. My son and I traveled to Boston for an audition at Berklee College of Music and this was the perfect place to stay. The hotel is located just steps from the Copley stop on the Green line. It has a trendy, boutique feel to it. The staff was excellent - very helpful. I asked for a lunch recommendation and they sent us to the Parish Cafe (outstanding sandwiches and an amazing gourmet mac and cheese). We stayed in 502 and had a great view of the Boston Public Library. The breakfast was mediocre at best, but why would you want to eat at a hotel when there are great spots all around you on Newberry Street. While the room was on the small side, it was appointed well and the granite bathroom and shower was outstanding.

First time at the CharlesMark and I will certainly go back! The girl at the front desk was extremely helpful, the bar staff was great - friendly, entertaining, great martinis. The room we had was fabulous. Clean, modern - everything you need. It was great walking into the room with the lights dimmed, a great smell and classical music playing softly from the speakers - just a nice extra added touch. Great location on Boylston St. Great prices. Highly recommended.

I picked the Charlesmark because it was the most reasonably priced hotel I could find in the area. It wound up being a great find- it was clean, the staff was helpful, and the location very convenient to all our sightseeing. There are also lots of bars, restaurants and shopping in the area. The hotel has a very nice bar where we wound up hanging out for quite a while both nights of our stay. Our room was not huge, but it suited our purposes just fine. Some other reviews have mentioned the hotel being noisy, but we did not notice anything out of the ordinary.

Very easy to find from the underground station. Rooms small by American standards but big enough for a couple of days stay. The one down side was the air-conditioning - it was very hot when we arrived in Boston so we had to use the air-con. Our unit was noisy and so was the one in the room next door.
The breakfast provided was a good way to start the day. The hotel staff were friendly, room was clean and shower was excellent.
