It was a very comfortable room and the service was great, however, the bathroom didn’t have its own heat and was a little cold. Also there was no hand soap in the bathroom.

AKA is always great, this is the first time I've stayed since the renovation and it was spectacular! They did a great job on the Reno and the staff is even more excellent than they were before.. Looking forward to our next stay!

Hotel AKA Back Bay was all that I could have asked for. The employees were friendly and attentive, and the decor was both modern and infused with a sense of history. I would definitely return when visiting Boston.

From the moment we pulled in, we were greeted by a friendly staff who took care of the car, bags and easy check-in. Totally renovated hotel in a great location. Rooms are super clean with great amenities. The restaurant and bar are located on the lower level with access to outdoor seating. I will not even think about staying anywhere else in the future and would highly recommend.

The bed was comfortable. The air/heat unit was rather noisy. There was little room in the bathroom to put out or store personal toiletries, there were no hooks in the bathroom on which to hang wet towels or a bathrobe, the coffee machine didn’t work. Overall, it was fine for the two days I was there. Good location. Regarding the fees, there were way too many and the valet parking fee per night was outrageous.

Excellent property, very spacious room which was recently renovated. People were very nice. Loved the location and the proximity to everything. I would come back and stay in the same hotel when I come again.

My husband and I stayed at AKA Back Bay for 3 nights from Oct 16 - Oct 19, 2024.
There were road works on the street where our room faced (Room 732) that persisted till 10 pm on all 3 days but was the worst on Fri when it continued on till 11 pm, with intermittent jack hammering!
We had activities booked for Thurs, Fri and Sat that started early each morning, which meant we had to turn in early each night before.
The road works unfortunately made our sleep quality poor on all 3 nights.
We are aware that this is an old hotel and is still undergoing renovations. Our room was supposedly a renovated room but it appears that the windows have not been - they are thin and definitely not sound-proof.
Regrettably, it wasn't a good experience for us at AKA Back Bay.

All of the staff were incredibly friendly. The room service was quickly delivered, and the food was good. The location is convenient to places you want to visit within the city. The room was well designed. There were adequate mirrors, plugs, seating. I would stay here again.

This is our favorite hotel in Boston. Close to everything including a 5 min walk from Amtrak. It was recently remodeled and so is more expensive than it used to be. They have a wonderful restaurant with outdoor dining, the valets are super helpful and friendly, and they are 3 blocks from the Public Garden and Boston Common. Not to mention 3 blocks from the fun of Newbury St. Need I say more?!

This boutique hotel is in a good location, walkable, and close to transportation. The staff is friendly and welcoming. This used to be the Lowes hotel but it got a renovation and has a more sophisticated and subtle decor.
We stayed in the standard room with a king size bed for two night, and it was comfortable. The only complaint we had was a funny smell in the room which might have been from the carpet or air conditioner and our room did not get serviced during our stay. The manager did apologize when we checked out and tried to remedy the situation, which we appreciated.
