Top Arnold Arboretum Hotel Reviews

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really cool and unique atmosphere, gave the fun vibe of a hostel with the privacy of a hotel. The shared bathrooms were always clean and a great way to save a good amount of money. Nice, peaceful location too with transit nearby."

citizenM Boston Back Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel"

Hilton Garden Inn Boston Brookline, MA

10/10 Excellent

"You have to use valet parking but it was quick and easy. The fee was much less than at some Back Bay hotels. The room was really nice and well designed in an interesting shape. I had a light dinner in the hotel and the staff were great. There’s free coffee in the lobby. The location is excellent for both Brookline And the Longwood area and Fenway Park."

Maverick Suites at 89 Marion

"I was sad to leave! It wa a a home away from home!"

Airy new apt for 2-6. Off-street parking. Walk to shops/restaurants/subway/bus

10/10 Excellent

"Woody is a great host and communication was swift, clear and helpful. Everything was really five stars but I gave it a four for description only because the layout was a little different and that was hard to communicate through photos. The main living area is upstairs and that is generally not a problem unless you have mobility problems. We truly enjoyed our time there and JP is a wonderful neighborhood. We would very happily stay at Woody's again."

"Loved this quaint house in a cute neighborhood! The place was very clean and comfortable. The 15 minute walk to the nearest train station was safe and easy. Everything we needed for a quiet and comfortable stay was right at our fingertips."

Stylish, Comfortable Luxury | Near T

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderfully clean and fairly quiet with a few hiccups over our stay. The walk to the T was reasonably close, but one street we had to take was steep. We got rained in 1 day with the Nor’easter, but we had gotten some groceries on our way in and just enjoyed the day. Only wish was that there was more comfortable seating for the amount of people it sleeps. The couch seats 3 adult sized people well, but even with 4 of us- someone had to sit on a stool or the floor to watch the 1 television in the apartment. Overall though, very nice and would book again if needed and available."
