We just celebrated my daughter's graduation from Boston University and stayed at the Commonwealth Hotel. From the momement we arrived (we were handed a glass of champagne on arrival) till the moment we left everything was... More

The rooms are clean, neat and full of all the up to date amenities. It is close to all the significant attractions and colleges and main transportation. When I stay here I feel as... More

Well-appointed, large rooms with included seating area separable by a curtain. Would recommend this property if visiting Boston University, but if you wish to sightsee around Boston, you will be better off finding a more centrally located hotel, probably for a lesser price...

Fine hotel, very nice and spacious rooms, good services (business center, fitness). Cleaning was done well and promptly. One remakr is that they did not re-fill the mini bar during my stay but that is not really a big issue.

I've stayed at the Commonwealth maybe a half-dozen times over the past five years. It's always a joy. Clean, convenient, and the staff are incredibly helpful and professional. It's a great hotel, and it's worth mentioning about technologically advanced it is. Not only is wi-fi included, but on this latest trip, I found they had a charger on the desk... More

Great comfort and perfect location for BU, Fenway and catching the T anywhere else. The Kenmore station is literally next-door with one stop to Newberry Street with Prudential Center shopping and other activities not much further. Great, innovative seafood at Island Oyster. Watch the parade of Red Sox fans from the sidewalk cafe at Eastern Standard. Double Queens on Fenway... More

We absolutely loved this hotel. The room is luxurious and clean like a whistle and the staff is as friendly and accommodating as it gets. We stayed in room 435 and we had stunning views towards Boston downtown. It was also very quiet. The hotel is in a walking distance from downtown (about 20 minutes) and there is also a... More
