🏨 The Rooms

The hotel sells two very different kinds of room. The budget rooms are small — about 115 to 150 square feet — with the bathroom down the hall: a king, a queen, a triple with a twin bunk, or a quad with four twin beds. En-suite rooms start at a compact standard king or queen and step up to Deluxe rooms of roughly 260 to 290 square feet, plus suites. Rooms have premium bedding, down comforters, robes and free toiletries.

💡 Insider Tip: Guest ratings vary a lot by room type. Deluxe rooms with a private bath score 9.0 to 9.8 on Expedia, the shared-bath quad scores 9.4, and the smallest en-suite king scores lowest at 7.8, so pick the room type deliberately.

🍽️ Amenities

There’s an on-site restaurant (Cosmica, serving dinner), a coffee shop, a bar and a terrace, plus a 24-hour gym, a business center with coworking space and bicycle rentals. Self-serve breakfast is $5 to $15 a person. Pets are welcome for $25 per pet per stay, which is among the lowest pet fees in our Boston picks.

💡 Insider Tip: There’s no on-site parking, and no rollaway beds or cribs, so this suits car-free travelers and groups who book the multi-bed rooms rather than families with babies.

🗺️ The Area: South End

Back Bay Station is about a six-minute walk, Copley Square and Copley Place about eight, Newbury Street and the Public Garden about nine, and Boston Common about eleven. Logan Airport is roughly an 18-minute drive. The South End is a restaurant-rich residential neighborhood just south of Back Bay.

💡 Insider Tip: You’re a walk from Back Bay rather than in it. If you want Copley Square outside your door, Charlesmark or another Back Bay hotel is a shorter walk.

• Groups of friends who want to split a multi-bed room on a budget
• Travelers who want personality and a South End base near Back Bay
• Anyone bringing a pet, given the low fee
• Not the pick for families with babies or anyone who needs on-site parking
