In the perfect location on Newbury Street right in the heart of Boston is the Newbury Guest House. The building is a characterful old townhouse with wonky, uneven stairs and a lovely welcoming feel. The reception area is bright, nicely decorated and furnished and the reception staff are friendly and helpful ..... particularly Alex who was the most smiley, lovely guy who couldn't do enough for you. There is freshly brewed coffee and tea available 24 hours a day in reception along with chilled and sparkling water. Our room was a bay window king and it was light, bright and spacious. The bathroom appeared to have been fairly recently refurbished and was nicely presented. We had a view of Newbury Street and the restaurants below us were lively but not too noisy ..... apart from the afternoon and evening when the Mariachi Band was playing .... they were rather loud but great fun and people were dancing in the street below our window! We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly return.

We were on the 4th floor and on our first day the elevator broke. I have heart and other conditions and was very hard for me to make it up the stairs. The staff did not seem to care nor did they always offer to carry guests bags in order to help them. The elevator and surrounding area had a terrible old trash smell that everyone complained about but they did nothing to fix. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating to your needs. The location on Newbury Street was amazing and we always felt very safe. Parking is a challenge behind the guest house but we just parked the car and walked everwhere as it was very easy. We would atay again for sure.

Lovely guesthouse, great location.
A wonderful night’s stay. Sadly it was only for one night, but the guesthouse itself and the location was fantastic. Every single member of staff we dealt with were so friendly and helpful, a real asset to the whole experience. Will definitely return and will recommend Newbury Guesthouse as a great option.

What a great spot to stay! Back Bay Boston is definitely a hip area with great patios and shopping and close enough to walk to downtown Boston. The Newbury House was the perfect find and the staff were just wonderful! Free water, tea, and coffee was a nice touch!

Loved the property and the staff were all very nice. I wish we could have stayed longer. Parking is limited, but if you can get a spot it is an incredible deal and very convenient. They also have an EV charger (that isn't advertised and may take some work to get to. The rooms are nice and quiet. It's in an ideal area with shops and restaurants all around, plus close enough you can walk around to most other areas of Boston. The water and espresso machines in the lobby were nice touches also.

The hotel is amazing, the staff at the front desk were extremely kind and knowledgeable about the area. Only downside is that all of the outlets are very loose. Like Chargers and things that you plug in will not stay plugged in.
