What guests think

Across reviews, XV Beacon is praised for friendly, attentive staff, spacious, well-appointed rooms—often with fireplaces—and a walkable Beacon Hill location, while the on-site Mooo restaurant draws strong praise from many guests.

Cleanliness is consistently praised, with several guests calling rooms spotless and comfortable. A few note drawbacks: small beds in some rooms, occasional maintenance issues (e.g., false fire alarm, hot water), and isolated complaints about reception energy or car service availability. Best suited to travelers seeking a small, design-forward hotel experience.

The staff is very attentive, but not over attentive. Just right. The room was clean and properly appointed. They went the extra mile to arrange for the car service they provide to fit into our schedule.

The hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel with everything a person needs in a city! The rooms are spacious and nicely appointed, the staff is great and the food amazing. What more could you want. Oh...there is a car to drive you to dinner or somewhere in the city if you need a ride!

Overall hotel experience: Check-in/out experience - 9.4 (staff were friendly, shoutouts to Patrick and David, attentive, good looking, knowledgeable, and low key made me blush ☺️, hotel has a gothic/modern feel to it that I REALLY like) Room - 9.1 (LOVE - the fireplace, the bathroom, the full body mirror, sensor lights in the closet, umbrella, robe and slippers, flushable wipes, I’m convinced that the carpet was heated; MEH - the bed is NOT a queen, was definitely giving full size) Dining - 9.8 (Mooo…. had great food and drink options, bartender Bryan was sweet, bar stools are SO comfortable, would definitely come back to Mooo…) OVERALL RATING: 9.4 - I would most DEFINITELY come back!

I am so surprised this is a 5 star hotel. It did not have 5 star hotel amenities. For starters the toilet paper was like a Brillo pad!! Why would a 5 star hotel have such crappy toilet paper? Gas stations have softer toilet paper. The towels were also a very poor quality. They were ribbed and very rough. The pictures online must be from 15 years ago because the hotel DOES NOT look like that! There is no way this place is worth $400-$500 a night. I’m so disappointed I used my free hotels.com nights for this place. The furniture in the room is worn and dated and the carpeting needs to be replaced. The desk in the room was all chipped, wobbly and worn. The end tables were damaged. The bed was comfortable, but it was incredibly small. It was more the size of a full size bed than a queen. They had a car service, but it was hardly ever available. We reserved the car for a dinner drop off and then they wanted to drop us off 30 minutes early. What’s the point in a reservation?Every time we were coming and going there was no one holding the door open. And no one brought our luggage to our room. There was an espresso machine in the room but it did not work. Everything about this place was a disappointment!

This property is located in the beacon hill area. It is a small boutique hotel. It has a retro style and feel to it. The staff is amazing and the on site restaurant is five stars!

The hotel is quite good, and always my go-to because of Mooo Restaurant off its lobby. Where the hotel can improve is in the reception experience. It’s really low-energy, borderline rude. Most recent example was Shauna last night being quite unhelpful with me on the phone as I called the hotel en route from the airport. Wasn’t a huge deal, but the reception folks should exert a super positive, helpful, and welcoming energy, which does not exist today, in my consistent experience.

The location of XV Beacon is fantastic. However, we has issues with a faulty fire alarm that woke us up in the middle of the night - twice. The hot water was also spotty in our room and we had to call maintenance. It was a nice change to stay here but not sure if it's worth a future investment.
