“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

person found this review helpful

The room and location were wonderful, but what really makes this hotel special are the people! The front desk, concierge, drivers and bellmen were so considerate and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again! Oh, and the room service dinner was really yummy, highly recommend the BLT or the tuna.

“Wonderful boutique hotel in a perfect location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

This is our second year spending Super Bowl weekend in Boston with our two teen age boys. We chose to stay at the XV Beacon this year. Our stay at this small boutique hotel has been just wonderful! We had 2 rooms adjoining (802 and 804), so we had plenty of space to spread out and watch the game. The rooms are cozy, spacious, and have ample room for hanging out without having to even go near the bed! Each of our rooms have a wonderful little fireplace that adds to the warmth of the rooms. The rooms are well appointed, beds are extremely comfortable, and everything is very clean. The all-marble bathrooms are beautiful with fittings that fit the historic nature of the building. The staff has been very helpful and friendly, always opening the door for us as we enter or exit and helping with restaurant choices. We had brunch at Moo (the hotel restaurant), and it was delicious. The location of the hotel has been perfect, and we have been able to walk to just about everything. While the hotel is located in the heart of everything, it is nestled on a quiet street and is extremely peaceful. We will definitely come back to the XV Beacon!

“A little gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I am a fan of this hotel. It is a gem. It is not a big hotel chain. It is more of a small boutique hotel located in the heart of Boston. I know about Moo but had neither dined there nor really took notice of the XV Beacon hotel. We celebrated a special occasion here and to my surprise, the rooms are much newer and trendier than I expected. I LOVE the bathroom with its marble finishes, a bathtub and the speakers! I love speakers in the bathroom! There is also a fireplace (that's actually very warm). The atmosphere is warm and romantic. One of the most important things is that it was quiet. It was a Sunday night though, not noisy at all. Decent size rooms and a king size bed (love). Most of all, the service was great, from the concierge to the front desk to the car service. Everything was just wonderful. Things don't need to come in big packages. I highly recommend this hotel! A wonderful experience!

“Relaxing retreat just minutes from home.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

We live in Boston, but decided we needed a weekend to unwind after the holidays. We wanted to stay local, and thought it would be fun to stay in a boutique hotel in Beacon Hill. After reading rave reviews about Mooo... restaurant and about XV Beacon, we booked our room. Mitch, Kate, and the entire staff were remarkable. Our room was modern yet cozy, complete with a gas fireplace and all the amenities one could ask for. We can't wait to go back!
