We enjoyed our stay at this Hotel. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. We had to end our stay one day earlier than planned and the staff, especially Ryan, helped us out and we were not charged the last night. Also, hotel is nicely located close to Back Bay and Newberry St.

I loved this hotel! We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Boston. Everything about it, but especially the location, thelayout of the room and the amenities, as well as the bar and restaurant, but particularly Heather at the front desk Ryan assistant, general manager and Omar in the restaurant were particularly helpful to us.

Impressive first visit to Boston
Hotel AKA is very nice! All workers were excellent and kind, and the property is extremely well kept. We especially liked the quality of the bathroom and shower! If there is any constructional criticism, it would be that we prefer better pillows (they tend to go flat quick), and the nespresso machine was not our taste (coffee was much too strong). But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Excellent Accommodations
The Customer Service at Hotel AKA Back Bay was impeccable! Location was perfect...close to Newbury Street, Boston Public Gardens, Boston Common, Beacon Hill, Fenway Park, the subway, etc. There was a Trader Joe's a few blocks away. The Friendly Toast, just around the corner, is a very good breakfast option. Our flight arrived at 8:30 AM and we were able to access our room when we arrived at the hotel which was very helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the hotel. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the entire staff!!!
