Amazing Service

Calvin and Nate proved such great advice on restaurants. They made the whole stay with their courtesy and charm. The location is very convenient to see history and sporting events. The Beantown Pub next door has a great vibe for night life and breakfast. I’d stay here again.

The front desk were friendly and helpful in all aspects of our stay and local information. Valet was prompt and helpful. The dining staff were prompt and courteous. My one consideration would be the sound levels as the guests outside the room were very audible. Overall this was a great stay. Thank you.

Wonderful hotel in a great location. Room was large and modern. Beds very comfortable. All staff we encountered were friendly, efficient and helpful. Very walkable area. Market was 7 minutes. Little Italy about 10 minutes. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Boston commons one block away, subway station one block away. Very clean, quiet and safe. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Lovely property! Thanks Boston and Hotel AKA!

We have been going to the AKA Hotel (previously Nine-Zero hotel) for the last 10 years. The staff are so nice and professional, always there to help and satisfy your needs. The hotel is extremely well located if you want to go to Little Italy, Chinatown, restaurants, theaters, etc
