Recent Reviews in South Boston

Seaport Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"My check in was amazing! Woman who checked us in was very professional and kind! Our room on 17th floor was very clean and quiet! Awesome views of Boston and Boston Harbor!!"

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

10/10 Excellent

"Pros and cons. Nice rooms, nice pool, and good location. The staff needed better training and a few I encountered were not very professional. Pool (on two separate visits) had dirty towels, plates and cups in various places when I visited that were left around for a while with nobody coming around to clean them up. Pool bar also closed due to private parties when I visited, which was a disappointment. Would recommend but for a 4/5 star hotel, service could have been better."

Modern 2 BR, 1BA Near Convention Center & Seaport

10/10 Excellent

"This property is in a great location. The neighborhood is quiet. It’s within walking distance to several restaurants. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and I appreciated the amenities like coffee, shampoo, and body wash. Tom was patient and quickly to reply to my inquiries. I highly recommend it especially if you’re attending an event at the nearby convention center. It was only about 7-13 to take an Uber to tourist destinations like the Fine Art Museum and aquarium. It was also a quick ride to the airport."

Aloft by Marriott Boston Seaport District

8/10 Good

"I didn't like the breakfast options, but for just 2 days it was acceptable. Also the Restaurant next door (Alma Gaucha) is not to everyone's taste. The closest reasonable places are at the Westin, half a mile away. Public transportation is not available within an acceptable distance."

Right Near Convention Center and Train Station

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very clean and well set-up 2 bedroom, ground level apartment. This is a older building with lots of charm and the apartment is recently updated with tasteful modern decorations and a new kitchen. The living room has two couches and chairs that are perfect for chilling and resting after a long day out and about. A short walk to the nearest T station (Red) made this the perfect home base for exploring Boston for our family (2 parents and 5 kids). We stayed in Boston without a car and we were able to do all our sightseeing and trips to the beach via the T. We also were able to get there and back from the airport with 7 people and luggage via the Red and Silver line on the T in about 40 mins or less. We got groceries at Trader Joe's or Star market via the T. There is a 24 hr Doughboy Donut shop and Pizza next door that is AMAZING. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We used a fold-out futon mattress in the living room and had our 7 year old sleep on the floor. You could also double up people in the bunk bed, as the bunk bed seemed to have full size mattresses. All the beds have very comfy mattresses. We used the kitchen to prepare 4 family dinners and could not think of any kitchen item that was missing. We did a family movie night on the awesome TV in the living room. The washer and dryer are in the basement and shared with the upstairs neighbors, but we did two loads of laundry and did not have any issues."
