Loved the idea of having two separate bedrooms in one! Nice clean room with lots of space, just very,very tired and dated! Breakfast was a surprise,ample variety and good quality, just dissapionting on paper plates with plastic cutlery. Only one small lift, but surprisingly never unavailable. Very quiet,much more than I expected. only a short walk to the 'T'. Best... More

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Buckminster May 3-5. It's true that some of the furnishings are a little out of date, but the room was very clean. I found the staff to be pleasant and helpful. In fact, they upgraded us to a larger room for the weekend. After doing quite a bit of online research, I have... More

A very clean hotel, close to everything you need as the subway is five minutes from your door. No noise form outside traffic or the nearby Red Sox. Lots of local bars and restaurants with plenty to eat. I walked into Boston both days we stayed so I could explore. The staff were excellent as well.

Newly refurbished the hotel is clean and comfortable. We were given a free upgrade to a king suite which was excellent. The bed was huge and comfortable and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated near the Red Sox stadium and will probably get very busy during games. Overnight parking was expensive but everywhere is. Using... More

customer service is horrible. I didn't receive any confirmation email when I reserved the hotel room and neither did I receive one when I cancelled my reservation. they charged me despite of my cancellation a month ahead of time and denied any service to help me solve the problem. The manager was rude and unreasonable.

I've travelled to Boston a few different times now. I always stay at the Hotel Buckminster. It is about a block from the Subway station and is near many good restaurants. It's an older hotel that has a lot of charm. The single bed rooms are a little small but when you're only there to sleep it works out perfectly!

Me and my 2 friends chose this hotel because it has a great location. It is nearby to Kenmore Station of Boston's subway, so it is easy to get around and go to other sights. The hotel is also a short walk away from Fenway Park, the famous Citgo Sign and Boston University. There's also a House of Blues nearby,... More

DO NOT STAY HERE! I have never written a review of a property before, but my horrible experience here has prompted me to warn other people away. I have never left a hotel before, either, but I did this past weekend. The rooms were not at all as advertised. The website shows a picture of two rooms - one has... More
