The Royal Sonesta Boston

This hotel has a spectacular view of Boston Skyline. Right in front of the Charles River which this time around was frozen but sunrise from my room was amazing everyday! Something beautiful to wake up on those cold mornings before going to the gym. Everything was near about 10-15 mins on a Lyft since it’s cheaper than Uber. Many things to do walking distance. Room were extremely clean and had all the amenities needed! Front lobby staff is the ultimate best; they really care for you even though it isn’t hotel job related; very appreciative for the Puertorrican lady cared enough to make me a tea since she noticed I had caught a cold 🫶🏼 She went above and beyond! She needs a raise! Definitely will come back to this hotel in my future visits to Boston! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I really like this hotel for it’s location - right on the river front and easy to reach the main area of the city centre. The staff at reception area really friendly and welcoming on arrival, and happy to help with any requests throughout your stay. The lobby area is spacious with plenty of comfortable sofas if you need to spend any time there, as well as there being some complimentary drink offerings.||My room was at the rear of the property and had a nice view over the river. While not the most spacious and being an awkward shape it was modern and clean. There was plenty of storage and loads of electric sockets next to both sides of the bed, as well as controls for the various lighting options in the room. There was a coffee machine provided as well as a couple of large bottles of water,

Second time staying here, quite like the vibe of the hotel. By the river side of Boston river, quite quiet during the day, but also a popular gathering place at night and on weekends. So you get both the quietness and the crowd. The room is decent sizes, nothing to complain about. And the services are also reasonable. Surely would be my choice if I come back to Boston again. Oh forgot to mention, get a river view room, it's surely worth the price difference.

It has been a great trip so far. The staff has been super friendly and helpful. The bar is well stocked. The room is nicely sized and the bathroom is laid out well!

For the amount of money we were paying, i was hoping the rooms would be better kept. As other commenters said, the old wing was, well… old. Some of the wallpaper was bubbling and the pipes in the bathroom were rattling. The water pressure wasn’t great either and the sink was pooling water. The seal on the shower was all removed so every time we used it water went everywhere. When we asked maintenance to check he shrugged and said the sink was draining normally and there was nothing he could do about the shower seal. We were leaving the following day so it wasn’t worth asking for a room change but overall i wouldn’t say the experience was great. On a more positive note, the bed was very comfortable, the room was spacious, and the front desk employees were super sweet (especially Christina
