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.
