463 Beacon Street Guest House

The employees were nice. The walls are rather thin, the shared bathrooms were compact but usable, and at night, the radiator clicked loudly enough to disturb us at least once every night. The location is excellent, the communal areas are stunning, and the rooms itself were adequate. If you're not only visiting Boston for the hotel, this is a terrific spot to stay.

I self checked in on a Sunday, and was dismayed to find my room filthy! I was in the Longfellow room. I had to clean the bathroom before I could even use it. There was no one to call and complain too. I had read the reviews that it was outdated and a little shabby, but that doesn't bother me, however, filth does. I was attending a conference and was mostly just sleeping and didn't need fancy accommodations. On Monday morning I went down to complain and was told, they would send the maid to clean. When I returned on Monday evening at 10:30 pm, no one had cleaned the room. Another conference attendee took pity on my and let me share her room at her hotel. I did receive a very tiny refund for checking out two days early, but is paltry compared to my 4 days start for $1,000. The only g

My wife and i spent 5 days in Boston. I booked the Guest House. The location was excellent. Our car stayed parked pretty much the whole week. A 15 minute walk to Fenway, and a 30-40 walk to downtown. ||Clean room, and thank goodness for the window mounted A/C unit. We shared a bathroom with 3 other rooms on the same floor. This was not a problem whatsoever.||The bathroom could have used more maintenance visits during the day. The waste basket was overflowing at one point. Soap and shampoo was provided. ||I believe it to be a great location for the budget conscious traveller.||The front desk is staffed only between 9-3 I believe.

We stayed in the Adams Room. The best thing to say about the room is that it was on the ground level and very close to the parked car. BTW, parking was $30 extra a night. The room was tired and old with furnishings that looked like they were chosen at Goodwill. The spreads on the twin beds were old and unattractive. The patterned sheets that didn’t match could have been from a boys’ bedroom. The bathroom needed remodeling because one vinyl floor was laid on top of another. The shower was phone booth size. One bed was sunken in the middle. The curtains reminded me of a funeral home. The pictures shown on the site are much more attractive than the actual property. There are a few restaurants nearby in easy walking distance.

We were late booking for a trip to Boston and did not want to pay $500 each for a hotel in Boston or Cambridge. Being experienced travelers we knew we could survive sharing a room for 2 nights. The room itself--garden level with two twin beds--was acceptable. Small bathroom, but fine for the price. The wifi worked well. But there were issues. First, we were not given a code to get in. We booked using Trivago. We showed up exactly when we said we would and there was no way to get in. We called the number and left a message as there was no answer. Fortunately, another guest let us in. They never called back. We had no towels. A search found the laundry room and towels. The next AM my travel partner went to the lounge to work while I slept. There was a man sleeping on the couch a
