Kay was a perfect and very helpful hostess. She no longer provides breakfast but directed us to two breakfast locations which were both excellent. House in a lovely quiet location in a fashionable area, and is beautifully furnished and clean. Bathroom a little small, but in keeping with many other bed and breakfast houses where we stayed in New England.... More

Even though I prepaid for three nights at Herbsthaus, I found other accommodations after the first night because the innkeeper, Kay, left a note on the door accusing me of smelling like smoke and asking me to "air" myself out before returning to her home again. I do not smoke, nor does anyone I was visiting smoke. The accusatory letter... More

My wife and I went to Boston this past weekend for a leisure trip. We are so happy we found Herbst Haus. Kay was an excellent host who really made us feel like we were at home. It is located on a beautiful street in the South End-2 blocks from the Back Bay T stop. There are a ton of... More

Kay was the perfect hostess, even arranging for us to leave our luggage in her storage area until check in since our flight arrived at the crack of dawn! Our rooms were wonderful, down to the flowers in the vase in each room. Breakfast was perfect for the warm weather, with fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, hard-boiled eggs and wonderful coffee... More

Kay is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable innkeeper. She greets you at the door like you are an old friend - by the time you leave, your feel like you are one. Her restaurant suggestions [the neighborhood has many to choose from] are spot-on. She loaned her pass to the Museum of Fine Arts for an afternoon of pleasure. The room... More

Kay was a good host, chatty, friendly and informative. Breakfast was good, No hot food but Kay explained that her license did not allow her to cook on the premises for guests. Nevertheless there was always... More

My wife and I stayed at this wonderful brownstone B&B while I attended a conference at the nearby Hynes convention center. The location is in a quiet residential area just a few easy blocks walk to the Back Bay. Terrific restauants are within 1 to 4 blocks. A great location all around. Kaye, the proprietor met us even given our... More

My boyfriend and I went back to Boston to visit his friends back in college and grad school. What a terrific experience! Having stayed in many B&B before, I can easily say this was one of our favorite places to stay. (well, this is my first time writing a review for any B&B...so that says a lot!) The brownstone house... More

I spent 4 nights at Herbst Haus at the end of May, 2008, while attending a meeting at the nearby Hines Convention Center. The accommodations were lovely (I had the Revere room), and I was made to feel very much at home by Kay Herbst, the proprietor. She even loaned me her pass to the Museum of Fine Arts, when... More
