The Whitney Hotel Boston

Location and ambience

Service was a little slow on Sunday

New and cozy hotel, very comfy room, the location is quite good - not so close to the city centre, but very close to a metro station and a park where you can see the most amazing sunsets. Not far away from Cambridge either and very close to a cute street with local shops. We received house slippers, bottled water everyday and a complientary voucher for some meals/wine at the hotel restaurant (haven’t used them, but it was a nice touch). The room looks as in the pictures and the reception looks great too. The staff was very nice and helpful, and we were allowed earlier check in at no cost because the room was ready.

The cleaning could be done more thoroughly. There was nothing major to complain about, but we did find some hairs in the shower and some crumbs/lint pieces in the hallway.

Lovely big room, very comfortable beds. Friendly staff in restaurant.

It’s a very noisy area. The hotel is on a busy intersection opposite a raised subway train. It’s very noisy all the time. You can’t hear neighbouring rooms in hotel but you can hear outside noise 24/7. Trains, sirens, music etc. Not good for a quiet nights sleep. Rooms are over $1000 a night, Boston is expensive but due to noise etc. We didn’t feel it was worth it.
