My boyfriend and I stayed at La Cappella for three nights and found everything to be fantastic. We stayed in the Messina Room on the 5th floor and despite the walk up the stairs, it was well worth it!
The room has a large balcony which we made great use of - sitting outside with a glass of wine in the sun before dinner. There is also free internet connection and a washing machine and dryer which was great to get our clothes cleared up before going home.
The location is also fantastic, within walking distance of most attractions and in the heart of the Italian quarter which has a brilliant atmosphere and friendly people.
The owner wasn't about much but that's what we wanted - I'm not a fan of imposing concierge services - so if that's what you are looking for then head to an chain hotel for double the price.
All in all, a great place to stay - especially if you are on a budget.

This location can't be beat if you're looking to explore the North End of Boston. It is in the middle of Little Italy and steps away from the Freedom Trail and Paul Revere's House.

The accommodations were wonderful and spacious. We chose to stay in the Vittoria Room which is on the fifth floor, There is no elevator but if you like to exercise it's not that bad. There are rooms on lower floors available. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We did have difficulty figuring out the TV/VCR but we could just be challenged - and who watches TV on vacation :o)! Wireless internet was available and we used it daily.

Restaurants abound within blocks of the B&B, Other attractions are also within blocks and public transportation is also available. We wouldn't recommend bringing a car since parking is very limited.

We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to our friends and family.

I chose La Cappella as a much more sensible choice than being ripped off USD 450+ per night in the Boston Marriott Long Wharf. In the Italian quarter you are surrounded with fantastic bars and restaurants..............the only problem is parking if you have a car.

La Cappella was pretty well how I expected it. The rooms are immaculately clean and well equipped. This is not a hotel, but something more individual and personal, and the owner leaves you very much at peace, giving you 100% privacy.

The climb up to the fifth floor can only do you good, even if you are carrying a heavy suitcase. I must have lost several pounds gained in the Italian restaurants nearby, just going up and down those stairs over the four days. But I liked my suite at the top with views down into the street and out over nearby rooftops. This was part of the feel of living in the Italian quarter.

When I return to Boston I will definitely see if there is room at La Cappella. This is good value for money, pristine accomodation in the best part of Boston.......apart from the parking!

We stayed 3 nights at La Capella Suites. When we arrived an enveloppe was expecting us in the hall with keys to the room etc. So we supposed there was no Inn Keeper in the house.
The concept is like an appartement with several rooms and you share the kitchen with other guests. The fridge was filled with all we needed for breakfast. The room was smaller than expected but nicely furnished and clean. Bathroom was seperated and clean. An internet connection was available in the kitchen.
After our 4 days there without seeing any Inn keepers, we were very surprised to realise that the inn keeper, Tricia, was living in the house!! But she didn't find it important to show up for five minutes and introduce herself, and maybe welcome us in her place? That was a disappointement.
Our room was on the 5th floor and there's no lift. If you travel by car, it's really difficult to park and parkings are not for free.
Place is located in a very nice area full of bars, animation and restaurants. Very central.
