I recently stayed at the RS Boston and felt right at hos upon arrival. From the warm welcome of the bell staff to the front desk, I knew I had found the right place. The housekeeping staff were engaging and always had a smile which added to the experience. The restaurant on the water was also the perfect spot to... More

Stayed there for our daughters graduation. For $300 per night the hotel did not live up to its reputation at all. The room was so small, the closet was at most two feet wide, with only a few hangers, not nearly enough room. But the bathroom was microscopic with the worse water pressure. The water barely trickled out. We tried... More

Room was perfectly fitted with comfortable stylish furniture, bedding etc and you could walk into the room emptied handed and find everything you need provided without ever leaving the room. Whatever toiletry you've forgotten, they've remembered and all stocked at your finger... More

The hotel takes full advantage of its superb location right on the Charles - views from the rooms, bicycles to borrow, outdoor patio/bar. Our room was spacious and clean. No noise or odor issues at all. Service was efficient, though not particularly friendly. Free Financial Times at the concierge desk.

Royal Sonesta is a great hotel perfectly situated right outside of Boston. The rooms are comfortable, clean and modern. Our room had motion activated lighting and a cordless phone. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

Travelled here for business and a conference for Hammer & Company. The conference was held in the hotel as well. Very professional staff and very helpful in giving directions and advise for someone not familiar with Boston. The conference facilities were very accommodating and the meals served were of high quality. Would stay here again for business and or pleasure.... More

Loved the hotel's uniqueness and the staffs hospitality. The rooms are small but cozy. Beds are super comfortable. The entire hotel was very clean. Plenty of places to walk around including the walking trails and mall, which is across the street. The Museum of Science is right around the corner where you can book a Duck Boat Tour.

I stayed here for 5 days for a meeting in Cambridge. This was a very comfortable hotel with nice modern and attractive rooms, superb concierge service, great location, nice gym and pool (not quite a lap pool), and access to great food within and near the hotel. I was on the 10th floor of the East Tower and had a... More
