Recently stayed one night for a medical appointment at Mass Eye and Ear. Great location to all the hospitals and nice connection to restaurants, Boston Commons and boutique shopping in Charles Street. Hotel was clean, older in nature but that is Boston charm. A bit noisy as it is on the intersection but you don't keep the windows open. Nice... More

If only the John Jefferies House was half as nice as the website looked. Small space probably required them to use 3/4 double mattresses, and uncomfortable at that. The TV was in a small sitting area (not the bedroom) with only an uncomfortable love seat to squeeze in to. I've never so regretted returning to my hotel room after a... More

My family booked several rooms to attend our daughter's graduation. The hotel is in a fantastic location - across the street from the T, walking distance from Boston Commons, great restaurants and a short walk over the bridge to give you the BEST VIEW of Boston, especially at night. The breakfast was average - lots of carbs (pastries and OJ),... More

The location is perfect, right in Beacon Hill and great value too. If you take a train to Boston it is very easy to get here, the T station is right across the street. The Hospital is within a walking distant. Everything is within the vicinity of this hotel. There is a small grocery store close by, the price is... More

Beds are hard. Our room was fine. Jr Suite w kitchenette. I wouldnt stay in smaller as I saw a regular room and it was tiny. No AC or at least not on yet. The road noise died out by 10 pm and we slept w windows open. Service was good. Coffee always.

At the foot of Beacon Hill, across the street from a Red Line stop and the park along the Charles River, two blocks from a Whole Foods and a five-minute walk to several of Boston's best places to eat and buy cool stuff--it's amazing that this place is where it is and can still charge extraordinarily reasonable rates for quiet,...

John Jeffries House is a very practical, comfortable and well located hotel to stay in Boston, MA!! Having stayed there on 2 separate occasions while visiting Boston, I can only make very positive remarks about each aspect of the hotel. The staff was very helpful and efficient in acknowledging and resolving any requests/concerns(weather issues,etc.) that came up. The rooms were... More

I have stayed at the John Jeffries House many times over the years and for the price it has always been a great deal. It is located near Mass General and is just off of Charles street at the bottom of Beacon Hill. The rooms are very basic but generally clean. The bathroom was small but clean. There was a... More

For the second successive year my wife and I stayed at the John Jeffries. Other reviews have details of location, amenities etc. I just want to say we were as comfortable as last year and the staff were again helpful and welcoming. This is a good place to stay.

I was in town for a conference at the Hynes Convention Center and wanted to be within an easy commute but away from the chaos of the conference. John Jeffries House was the answer. The 'T' stops across the street, a 10 minute ride to the Hynes. Morning coffee, delicious scones, muffins, yogurt and fruit are plentiful; serve yourself in... More
