Great location, but no frills for the price. In my opinion at this hotel you are paying for the location, the decor is intentionally minimalist style but there are no snacks on site on in the rooms no drinks etc, at least that we could find, and we did ask the front desk. We thought that was strange. Otherwise it was super clean friendly staff especially the valets were very welcoming. Decor is minimal and not impressive. Rooms though are super clean and spacious.

Excellent Accommodations

The Customer Service at Hotel AKA Back Bay was impeccable! Location was perfect...close to Newbury Street, Boston Public Gardens, Boston Common, Beacon Hill, Fenway Park, the subway, etc. There was a Trader Joe's a few blocks away. The Friendly Toast, just around the corner, is a very good breakfast option. Our flight arrived at 8:30 AM and we were able to access our room when we arrived at the hotel which was very helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the hotel. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the entire staff!!!

The property was well maintained and well located. We stayed at AKA hotel Back Bay from July 2-July 5. The assistant General manager Ryan Stephan was wonderful and helpful with accommodating an early check in as well as accommodating for a later check out. He provided recommendations of places to see and eat, and overall had a great personality. Also Chris who was one of the porters was always there to help assist with our bags, and getting the door for us.
