The Taj is not a hotel you just stay at because you're looking for a place to just rest your head. You stay at the Taj if you want to be dazzled and impressed. It IS pricy, but if you have the wallet for it you will not be disappointed. It's close to my favorite area in Boston (Back Bay),... More

Stayed 5 nights recently and were a little disappointed with the stay. The hotel location is great but overall it is tired and needs updating. The room was nice but was looking well worn and the bathroom was small with a pedestal basin and no where to put toiletries. Staff were doing their job but had no enthusiasm and did... More

Just returned from 5 nights at this hotel. It is not 5 *, probably not even 4* more like a 3*. The decor is tired, dated and the hotel is in desperate need of a refurbishment. We had a suite that had a patched up stained carpet, broken furniture and windows glazed with failed units so that you can't see... More

What's not to like a hotel with a pillow menu. The room was great with a lot of old world charm. Very clean and great location. The bar has a wonderful view of the Boston Public Gardens.

Had an enjoyable stay at the Taj for one evening Saturday/Sunday. Nicely appointed hotel, room was fine, overlooking the public garden. My only issue with the room is that the bathroom is cramped. Other than that the hotel is fine.

If I can get a reasonable rate, I will always stay at the 4 Seasons in Boston, one of the best properties anywhere. That said, as it was sold out on my recent trip, I decided to stay in familiar territory and stayed at the Taj. Had not stayed at that property since it was owned by the Ritz. All... More

My wife and I spent a week at the Taj. I gave this hotel a "very good" rating, because it's in an excellent location, and reasonably priced. It's just across the street from the picturesque Public Garden, and in the midst of Boston's upscale stores and boutiques - important to my wife. The rooms - they're showing a bit of... More
