My family was there for a brief stay. We arrived at around noon and just planned on storing our luggage but the staff were able to promptly get us into rooms that were ready. The staff were extremely hospitable. Joseph and the young lady working with him were delightful. The room was spacious and clean and the location is outstanding as it is near the freedom trail and many of the historic landmarks. I couldn’t be happier with our stay and would definitely book this property again for a future stay.

The AKA Boston Common is located in an excellent area so close to Boston Common, Fanuiel Hall and much more. Every staff member we encountered was super friendly and helpful. The complimentary happy hour wine was an added bonus. The room (standard two queen) was spacious and comfortable and the bathroom lovely, though figuring out how to turn on the shower on was a bit of a challenge LOL.

AKA Boston Commons is an absolute delight. As a guest who has enjoyed their locations in Manhattan, Washington D.C., and Miami — you cannot beat their elegant, charming hospitality. This location in particular was extraordinary — every team member was fabulous. Sherley at the front desk was stellar. She assisted dutifully with my luggage, accommodations, and thoughtful care. A special appreciation for the doormen who were beyond kind, as well. I stayed for 4 days in late June, early July 2025. As for the rooms, we had a beautiful view of the Park — amazing! The rooms were sizable and perfectly clean — and very quiet. The restroom is very spacious and modern, with plenty of counter space for glam. Each room is further equipped with a snack & mini bar, with plenty of refrigerator space. Their in-room coffee and tea selection is excellent, as well. The lobby, lounge, & AKA’s amenities are top-notch. Each day from 4-5PM, complimentary wine is available for guests — both a Sauvignon Blanc & a Pinot Noir. The restaurant downstairs is fabulous & should be added to your list! The surrounding area is clean, walkable, and safe. You cannot beat this location — it is right in the heart of Downtown Boston. There is so much history packed into this corner of Massachusetts! The train & subway system is navigable & reliable, with several stations within 1mi of the hotel. I will certainly return with much excitement!

Bath tub need an upgrade. The $35 “destination charge” per day is ridiculous. We were told it was for the “free wine” each evening. Which we dont drink. Can we get that money refunded? We stayed 5 nights! $175 please.

Our shower leaked and a good majority of the bathroom floor would be covered in water every time you would enter the bathroom. We had to use our towels to lay on the floor every day to contain the water. Also did not like the homeless drug addicts that hang out very close to this hotel so we made sure we went inside as soon as the sun started to go down which limited our overall boston experience.

Great location. But: * It's expensive. * The names of the two AKA hotels in Boston is confusing. Apparently this happens often - I was not the only one. So why not be clearer? * The Back Bay branch sought to charge $50 each room for checking in at 2.10pm, ahead of the 3pm time. The room was apparently available. How to annoy your customers. * Plus $42 per night surcharge on the fee charged by Expedia, buried in the small print. Another irritation - there should be grater transparency. Supposedly this covers the gym (which I did not use), a glass of wine (which I do not drink) and the internet. The internet - seriously? This adds up to complacency in my view.
