Impeccable stay at AKA. Clean, sizable rooms, excellent bathroom, delicious breakfast and fast courteous service. A gem. Close to the Amtrak station but on the other side so you don’t really see it. Would love to stay here again in Boston.

The hotel was very welcoming, from the doorman opening the door and greeted me as I walked in to directing me to hotel check in area. It was very early in the day and Boston had one of their severe winter days and the check in person informed me that they would contact me once a room became available. As I awaited in the very comfortable hotel lounge area with ample seating and fireplace (oh yeah), I was contacted soon after that a room was available. The hotel’s location in the Back Bay Area is very nice, not too far from Little Italy and Chinatown. My room was very spacious and artfully decorated, with a king sized bed, sitting chair, desk area with chair, smart TV, etc. Also, had a nice dinner in the hotel restaurant, The Berkeley. The food experience was wonderful (crispy roasted chicken on garlic toast with watercress and chicken jus, and mixed berries clafoutis with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, were the highlights. The restaurant staff was awesome. Overall, great hotel experience and I will definitely stay here again when I visit Boston in the future.

We booked the premium room at the hotel, but it was not premium in any way. The lobby was very clean and modern, but the room was not. The carpet in the room was soft, and I can tell the room was once luxurious. It’s not anymore. There are stains on our sheet. Bathroom sink has mold like spots. The toilet does not work well - it struggles to refill the tank. Worst of all, the room was on the fourth floor and facing a major road, and it was very noisy. We were there for only one night and checked in quite late at around 9 pm. So, perhaps we got a bad room. I saw the review is so high, so expected it to be better. We visit the area often and feel like this hotel is worse than the standard room in many hotels nearby, including Hilton Back Bay, Marriott at Copley place, Copley square hotel, and Westin Hotel.
