What a great find!
From the moment we pulled in, we were greeted by a friendly staff who took care of the car, bags and easy check-in. Totally renovated hotel in a great location. Rooms are super clean with great amenities. The restaurant and bar are located on the lower level with access to outdoor seating. I will not even think about staying anywhere else in the future and would highly recommend.

Watch out for the fees
The bed was comfortable. The air/heat unit was rather noisy. There was little room in the bathroom to put out or store personal toiletries, there were no hooks in the bathroom on which to hang wet towels or a bathrobe, the coffee machine didn’t work. Overall, it was fine for the two days I was there. Good location. Regarding the fees, there were way too many and the valet parking fee per night was outrageous.

6/10 Good

My husband and I stayed at AKA Back Bay for 3 nights from Oct 16 - Oct 19, 2024. There were road works on the street where our room faced (Room 732) that persisted till 10 pm on all 3 days but was the worst on Fri when it continued on till 11 pm, with intermittent jack hammering! We had activities booked for Thurs, Fri and Sat that started early each morning, which meant we had to turn in early each night before. The road works unfortunately made our sleep quality poor on all 3 nights. We are aware that this is an old hotel and is still undergoing renovations. Our room was supposedly a renovated room but it appears that the windows have not been - they are thin and definitely not sound-proof. Regrettably, it wasn't a good experience for us at AKA Back Bay.

This is our favorite hotel in Boston. Close to everything including a 5 min walk from Amtrak. It was recently remodeled and so is more expensive than it used to be. They have a wonderful restaurant with outdoor dining, the valets are super helpful and friendly, and they are 3 blocks from the Public Garden and Boston Common. Not to mention 3 blocks from the fun of Newbury St. Need I say more?!
