A wonderful hotel, stand above all. You first walk in, greeted by a doorman, walk into beautiful foyer. Staff attentive and polite. In the heart of boston, walking distance to many great sights. Room: open, clean and the bed great. Fenway room equipped with a view of fenway park. Hdtv and a blu-ray player. Offer a lot of bang for... More

Pros: Attentive staff, three nice restaurants on site, newer property, clean Cons: no preferred seating at restaurants for hotel guests; 1 of 3 restaurants closed for private party (really?!); a bit off the beaten path; lobby was nice but not spectacular; walls were a bit thin. Spent $400 for a king suite. Nice room but the hotel only has 4... More

I stayed here for one night while on a business trip. The bed was super-comfortable and the staff was great. It was really cozy at this hotel. Overall, highly recommended! The room was very nice. Quiet. More

Location in Kenmore Square is perfect. Immaculate, charming rooms are larger than most other hotels. Friendly, helpful staff. Public transportation is at your doorstep. Walk to Fenway, resturants, shops, green spaces. Good value! More

I made an unexpected trip to Boston without hotel reservations, figuring I could get a room at a good downtown hotel without difficulty. But the reason for my visit made it more convenient to be around Fenway Park. I was walking in the area and happened across The Commonwealth. Its medium size, beauty, rooms and restaurants made it look like... More

Hotel Commonwealth is located in the heart of the city, close by to all universities and conservatories. Very convenient with THE most professional staff I have ever encountered. Our needs were immediately attended to by the exceptionally accommodating manager Dan Bahr and his well trained staff with a smile and action. This hotel is modern elegance, offering a gentlemanly doorman... More

Let me just start by stating that I have stayed in over 15 hotels in Boston, therefore I am a pretty good judge of quality. The hotel is in a great location to see a Red Sox game, but not close to Faneil Hall or the waterfront. The staff was very nice and they have a couple great bar/restaurants connected... More

We stayed in Boston overnight because we were seeing a late show in town and didn't feel like driving 1+ hours home. I'm glad we did. The room was great, not too pricey, the location was convenient, the staff was friendly and helpful, the food at Island Creek Oysters was off the hook. I'd definitely go back again. More

This hotel is a quality property located in Kenmore Square at the tip of the BU campus. It has two excellent restaurants in house, Eastern Standard and Island Creek Oyster Bar. We have eaten at both. In bad weather you never have to leave the hotel. Here are some things you should know: 1. Valet parking is 42.00 per day... More
