The Godfrey Hotel has an excellent location in downtown Boston, close to Boston Commons, the subway and historic landmarks. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is not provided but there is a good coffee shop with an entrance to the hotel’s lobby as well as nearby restaurants. The rooms are clean, modern and roomy. Three elevators result in minimal wait times. We both really liked the Godfrey Hotel but there was one noticeable issue. We were on the third floor facing Temple Place. There are two bars down the street that are open until 2 AM Friday and Saturday. The street noise was significant late at night on these two days. I don’t know whether these were isolated incidents but we overheard other guests complaining one morning as well. To be fair when we complained to the staff they were very sympathetic and offered to move us to a different room. I’m sure it’s frustrating to the hotel staff when the problem is out of their control. The Godfrey Hotel is a lovely hotel with an excellent location for exploring Boston but if we were staying there again I would request a room as far away as possible from Temple Pl. and on a higher floor as well.

Loved our stay! I do wish all hotels would do away with sliding bathroom doors, hard to slide and not as private, but that seems to be a newer trend.

Comfortable with excellent service

Very nice stay. As soon as we checked in that they upgraded our room and gave us some lovely small bottles of wine, and some extra drink vouchers! While the modern aesthetic is not my style, and I thought the rooms were dark and stark, they were comfortable and quiet. We loved the coffee shop and lobby bar. The location is excellent as well. There's also an amazing sushi restaurant accessible by a "secret" looking door in the lobby! While I wouldn't personally say there again because of my own bias for decoration, I can see why people like it!

The hotel was beautiful, clean, the staff was helpful and kind. Both the café and the restaurant there were awesome. Great location as well. All of the theaters and Boston Common, many restaurants are all within walking distance. Our biggest and only complaint is that we had the corner executive suite on the seventh floor and we could not sleep all night because of the noise level outside the hotel. It was so loud you could even hear people talking outside on the streets. All we heard was loud cars, motorcycles and cars honking their horns until about 3 AM.
