Newbury Guest House

Excellent location, friendly and helpful staff, provided a great spot for family gathering in Boston.

This boutique hotel was a perfect spot for my best friend and I to land while we explored Boston for four days. Lots of shops, restaurants and things to do all on Newbury St. It is centrally located and within walking distance to Boston Common and Fenway Park. The hotel is clean and comfortable and full of charm. Although it is listed as providing a hot breakfast, they had not reinstated it since the beginning of COVID so that was disappointing. The good news is that there is a delightful and delicious coffee and breakfast spot right next door (The Bittersweet Shoppe). The French restaurant (La Voile) was on-site and a special experience (although on the expensive side). We had to try it to pay homage to our high school French teacher. 🇫🇷 It did not disappoint. Our room was on the backside (view of parking) but it was very quiet at night. I imagine the street view might be a little noisier since the streets were always full of people. There are about six steps coming up into the front of the hotel so lugging your bags up that is a chore, but you can also bring them in through the back entrance and up the elevator. There was complimentary tea and coffee all day. The staff was helpful and attentive to our needs. They also were gracious about keeping our luggage before and after our stay as we arrived and left before and after check-in and check-out times. I would definitely stay again. Great hotel for couples and friends. Would not recommend for families with littles.
