Awesome hospitality from the front desk, especially Daniel, who understood our situation immediately and helped us above and beyond. This hotel is perfectly located just steps from the park and some really fantastic restaurants. We enjoyed getting up early and grabbing some breakfast even though some others of us slept in. Best part was being treated so kindly when we arrived by Dan!

The Boston Back Bay location offered a convenient location about 10-15 min walk to Old Town Trolley Welcome Center and the Prudential Center and Copley Square. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and housekeeping did an excellent job. Room was always made up and welcoming after a day of exploring Boston. The Berkeley Bistro offered an alternative to eating offsite after a long day. Overall we had an excellent experience and would recommend this hotel based on their accommodating staff, quality room accommodations and convenient location.

Great hotel. My favorite part is their partnership with the Equinox gym. If you are into fitness this is the ideal place to stay.

You can’t beat this location in the heart of Back Bay! The atmosphere is very welcoming and nice. The room was clean and quiet…just what I needed after attending my niece’s wedding. I needed an early check in which was accommodated with no problem. The staff was great.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, and amazing location. Highly recommend staying at the AKA Backbay. They are also very competitively priced vs other options in the area.
