Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel location was perfect. The view from our room was excellent. It was close to several restaurants and stores. The staff was friendly and helpful. The Jola restaurant & bar was in the hotel. Breakfast menu had several choices and the food was amazing. We truly enjoyed our stay."

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Boston's South End that's walking distance to many cafes and restaurants as well as easy access to public transit. I stayed in a Standard Queen with in-room bath on the mezzanine floor; the room was small, but comfortable and clean. There was minimal to no street noise, although on one of the nights, there was a private event at the bar attached to the hotel, and I could hear chatter from the lobby. There were water refill stations, a hot water dispenser, and microwave available in the common area for guest use, and the front desk staff offered to store refrigerated items. The vouchers for free coffee in the hotel cafe were a nice touch. Overall, I'd certainly stay here again the next time I'm visiting Boston."
