We needed a room with two queen beds. Even with them the W room was spacious. Paul (bellkeep) was a character- warm, funny, super helpful. The included breakfast was great and the resort fee went to additional food and beverage we would have used anyhow. Excellent stay.

Pretty decent hotel and spacey rooms Pros: - central location - spacey rooms - nicely equipped gym - nearby cafe, restaurants Cons: - Ageing bathrooms - disturbing AC: cannot really be turned off, there will always be a draft and accompanying noise

Loved our stay at the W Boston! We ended up with an upgraded room due to my husband's Marriott status. It was gorgeous & huge! The W provides little touches that really make the stay memorable....the artwork, friendly employees, fun bar atmosphere, Boston influences in the decor, and easy check-in. The location is perfect and centrally located in the city, which makes walking anywhere very easy. Thank you to Paul at the front door for always making us feel welcome and valued. You're awesome!! Another huge shout-out to Chris K at the front desk. He made us feel welcome and appreciated. He answered all of our questions and had that ability to go above and beyond that truly made our stay extra special. Thank you Chris, you are great at what you do! I highly recommend the W and hope to return again some day soon! Read less

I wanted to be sure to write a review regarding our outstanding stay at the W Boston. After reading some other reviews, I was a little bit worried, but if anyone is on the fence about staying at this hotel, please do not worry. From the moment we arrived at about 11:30 PM until we left, all employees, talent as they like to refer to themselves,were helpful, kind, and made sure our stay was wonderful. The concierge , Daniella went out of her way to make our stay extra special. The hotel is in a busy location yet we did not have to deal with any ongoing noise issues. We were there on a Friday and Saturday evening and were not disturbed at any time. The location is perfect as it allowed us to walk all over throughout the city. We walked to Fenway Park, the north end and other locations as well. My status with the rewards program was recognized. When I returned to Boston I plan to stay at the W again. It was fantastic.

I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this hotel and yet was pleasantly surprised. Rich in customer service got me everything I needed and did so quickly. Room service came exactly on time. Food was hot and delicious. Only issue I had was that the bed seemed to be a bit worn. But it did not affect my sleep. I’ve had this at the Ritz and Four Seasons. The hotel chains just don’t want to replace the beds because they’re expensive. Still great experience. I’ll be staying at the W more often. Read less
