“Hotel Commonwealth lovely but...”

Hotel Commonwealth

Feb 7, 2008

My husband and I just returned from a overnight stay at the Hotel Commonwealth, it was a lovely property the staff was very nice and helpful. We stayed in a commonwealth room which was very large with a extremely comfy king bed. I would reccomend this hotel the only draw back being we were on the third floor directly above the hotel restaraunt Eastern Standard and our room smelled of food the whole time.

“A brilliant hotel, Loved it.”

Hotel Commonwealth

Jan 27, 2008

Hotel Commonwealth, Boston Back Bay area.

We have just returned from our third visit to the Hotel Commonwealth, and it is just as we remembered. It is superbly managed, every request is met with charm and professionalism. The Director of Guest Services organised every aspect of our trip brilliantly, thoroughly professionally and with care and consideration. The Reception staff are excellent, informative and friendly, likewise the Concierge and Doormen .
The rooms are huge, with L'Occitaine products and a lovely comfortable bed with soft linen sheets and quilts. House keeping is excellent and the rooms are spotless . DVD's are available free, and arrive with a bag of popcorn. Turndown service arrives with cookies, and any other products you may require.
We ate breakfast in the Eastern Standard each morning and were very well looked after.
It is a first class hotel in every respect and we can't wait for our next visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

“Very Nice”

Hotel Commonwealth

4 of 5 stars
Minneapolis, MN
Jan 24, 2008

Overall stay very good. Hotel decor beautiful, service very good, location (directly above Kenmore "T" station) convenient. Restaurant in hotel (Great Bay) is awful -- avoid at all costs. Hotel exercise room small, and treadmills of low quality.

“Loved It!”

Hotel Commonwealth

4 of 5 stars
Charleston, SC
Dec 27, 2007

This review is somewhat delayed, but I wanted to be sure to share what a great experience my husband and I, along with another couple, had in Boston, including our stay at the Hotel Commonwealth. We came up from South Carolina to see both a Red Sox game and The Police at Fenway. Our room looked right out onto the Green Monster. The stadium was an easy walk from the hotel and filled with other Sox/Police fans starting hours before event time both evenings. And, the Eastern Standard restaurant was a great place to grab a quick bite and some drinks prior to game time!! We plan on going back next season!!! Maybe our next visit we can try the hotel's more upscale restaurant -- Great Bay.
