Independent hotels in Back Bay, Boston

"We enjoyed our stay."

"The room was very cozy and clean and it was very close to multiple transportation options and there were lots of food choices and places to visit. Enjoyed my stay very much. "

"The breakfast at the hotel restaurant was very good."

"The only minor issue was finding it. Look for the Huge Copley Square sign and you are great!!! Logan express from the airport will take you to Back Bay at no cost. Then you just had a short walk to the hotel. Amazing place"

"Great hotel! It’s a hip and trendy place. The room itself was efficient, clean, comfortable and without unnecessary frills. I really liked the blackout curtain! Was in town for Red Sox games and stayed for one night. It was convenient location to Fenway Park as well as plenty of shops and restaurants."

"Check in was very good. Property sleek and minimalist. Very clean and well maintained. Shops, restaurants a few minutes walk away. Too bad the valet gives incorrect directions to local sites."

"Perfect location and very accommodating. "

"I love CitizenM and the one in Boston didn't disappoint. The check in staff (it is self check-in, but they always come over to help) and the staff in the "canteen" were wonderfully friendly to a tired traveler."

"We had an incredible stay at The Arcadian Hotel in Brookline! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome—kind, helpful, and always friendly. A special shoutout to Alberto, the manager, who went above and beyond and quickly felt more like a friend than hotel staff. The level of hospitality here is unmatched, and the entire experience was unforgettable. We immensely enjoyed our time at The Arcadian and absolutely plan to stay again. Highly recommend!"
