This hotel was everything we wanted it to be. It was beautiful, clean, and close to transportation. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a wonderful bar/restaurant in the basement that has a cute outdoor patio. We would stay here again for all of these reasons and the amazing proximity to so many places!

This is a great hotel in a safe area and pretty much in the middle of everything you would want to visit in the city. It’s quiet and has a restaurant but I did have brunch there and it wasn’t very good, so I would skip the food. The room is a little small and bed is low. They have a couch and a desk that takes up too much room and only one drawer. We were there for 3 days and had to live out of our suitcase, it didn’t make sense. They did just renovate a year ago so I don’t expect a lot of changes but the storage is an issue. Bathroom is nice and bedding was soft.

I really loved my stay at AKA Downtown, so I was excited to try AKA Back Bay — but it ended up being a bit disappointing. The location is great, but my standard room was very small and felt a bit dated. For the high price, I really expected more. On top of that, the street noise was a bout annoying during the night.
