What guests think

The Eliot Hotel delivers a classic, boutique stay in Boston’s Back Bay with standout, welcoming service, spacious suites, and a highly walkable location near Fenway and Newbury Street that many guests repeatedly praise across their visits.

Rooms impress for size and comfort, though several note small bathrooms, some worn or dated elements, and occasional maintenance or noise issues. Amenities are limited for a luxury price point, with no gym and minimal lobby or lounge space; valet parking is available but can be costly or slow. Dining feedback is mixed: UNI earns frequent praise, while breakfast is sometimes limited, not included, or underwhelming. Expect a service-forward, old-world property with roomy suites and a prime, walkable base.

It is an older building, and lacks some options (e.g. no workout facility); however, our suite was large and nice. The staff were plentiful, well trained, friendly and helpful.

Unbeatable location: close to everything but on an elegant and relatively calm boulevard at the same time. One of the few hotels with rooms suitable to accomodate 4, comfortably (couple 2 kids). Parking provided by the hotel is not so close, so you have to ask for the car at least 30 minutes in advance. But we could always get a space on the parkmeters on the same block, por 2 hrs parking. The lobby would benefit from some updating.

This was our third visit to the beautiful Eliot Hotel. We are always impressed by the cleanliness of the rooms, the quiet and comfort for a great nights sleep. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. You are treated in a way that I can only describe as "before Covid" and by that I mean they meet you at the door, park your car and deliver your luggage. We are always treated extraordinarily well.

The bed was very comfortable. However, there were no towels so we had to call and ask for everything as soon as we arrived, neither phone in the room worked so needed to call on my own phone for assistance with that, and the bathroom obviously wasn't cleaned prior to our arrival as all the used products from the last occupant were still in the shower -gross. Area outside of the hotel was sketchy so we did not feel safe to walk anywhere. If this had been an inexpensive stay I would say this was my bad, but we paid the going rate for what we usually pay at nicer hotels. Safe to say this was a one and definitely done for us here!

The Eliot is just as gorgeous on the outside as it is on inside. The beauty of its art work and the timely beauty of the building is breathtaking. The staff is superb, not the kind of “fake” kindness in customer service you see a lot but they were all truly genuine and took pride in their job. I’ve never had customer care like this before. The only downside was my suite was smaller than anticipated and there was mold in the showers grout and dust along the walls and in the air vents. I did reach out and spoke to the receptionist about this and not was done. I feel like with the amount I paid for a one night stay the least housekeeping could keep the rooms up to par. I’d certainly refer the hotel but I’d say the same things. I was also double charged for Valet parking when my vehicle was only parked one time.

Several issues with the condition of our room… sink wouldn’t drain, shower lever very broken- difficult to turn on & get warm water and broken down, VERY lumpy beds. (After calling the front desk- they promptly addressed the sink issue.) The overall cleanliness was okay… but, I noticed some tables weren’t wiped down from previous guests… fingerprints, dust. Main TV never worked our entire stay- couldn’t connect to cable/ connection issues. The staff and bellman were wonderful- very welcoming & professional. Excellent customer service. Uni is amazing. Excellent location… but, hotel needs some improvements to maintain the quality and experience they advertise. We will be staying elsewhere in the future.

This is a very special hotel, the room was a suite with a couch and chairs in the living space and a coffee bar. The bathroom was a little tight but had everything we needed. It was a terrible blustery day in Boston and the staff was accommodating with an umbrella and very friendly. The bed was one of the best I have ever slept in. Great location, highly recommend.

Our bar sink didn’t drain, there was some issues with paint chipped up, door jams seemed really messed up and carpet had a lot of staining. Overall we really liked the place.

Definitely do this. The Eliot was outstanding. Booked a standard room (actually booked 3 standard rooms) and all of us were upgraded to suites. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well cared for. The staff was beyond courteous and helpful. They made our stay a delight. Travis and Jean were standouts for their humor, smiles and passion to assist but never insist. Continental Breakfast was an excellent value and well presented and expansive in its offerings. We would stay at this hotel again without question. Simply the best we’ve experienced.

Bonus on the cute details at the desk, in the elevator, in the rooms! Anything you need they provide. Beds and couches were comfortable, the shower was refreshing, the mini bar was ample, the elevator service and valet were quick. I cannot wait to find another reason to stay with them again.

This is a great hotel but we were unfortunate to be given a room next to the lift (412 - avoid) but were moved to another, however the smoke alarm battery died at 1am and this started beeping - this was sorted quickly and the hotel refunded $100 which was excellent. We will definitely consider staying here again
