Assonet Holidays from NZ$1,167

We loved the Atlas Hotel, located directly opposite Harvard on a quiet street in Boston. It is a beautifully appointed hotel with good-sized rooms (we took a corner room and were very happy with it), and it is well-suited to international travellers (space for bags, etc). The bed is comfortable, and the rooms are well serviced and clean throughout our stay, with lovely linens, towels, etc. We did have a good hairdryer, essential for me (long hair) and a steamer. We did ask for an iron and ironing board. The iron was super, but the ironing board had seen better days! This was mentioned and replaced quickly. What makes this hotel are the staff; they are friendly, always say hello, and ask if they can help, which made it a pleasure to be here and stay here. This was in the middle of the World Cup, so I can imagine they were busy with many travellers arriving and leaving. We liked the tasty breakfasts and the great cocktails on the top floor of the hotel, which has a good view over the Boston environs. I would be delighted to stay here again in the future. A special place where you feel special for being here.

The exterior and lobby are simply spectacular. However, the rooms are very ‘old world’. Very small and lack of exterior lighting. The hallways are carpeted and look and smell ‘old’

Cool historic building beautifully repurposed, staff was very friendly and helpful, well located close to much of the best of what Boston has to offer, 5 stars

The room had extension cords in it and felt unsafe, moved hotels after the first night. Would not recommend
