Absolutely everything!!!! It is such a fab place to stay. The rooms are lovely and if you have a room where the bathroom is “down the hall”, the space is so nice. There are five rooms and each room has a shower sink and toilet so you are good to go.
Nothing. Loved everything!!!

Chambre très petite

Gepäckservice zum Abstellen der Koffer war praktisch. Die Lage war sehr gut, man ist sehr schnell zu Fuß in Downtown Boston.
Das Gym war sehr groß und gut ausgestattet.
Sauber war auch alles.
Die Zimmer sind wirklich sehr klein, man fühlt sich dadurch stark eingeengt. Die Schiebetür zum Bad ist auch nicht wirklich optimal gelöst, da man diese aus Versehen der Person am Waschbecken in die Seite donnert, wenn man nicht aufpasst.
Wir waren viel draußen also war schlussendlich die Zimmergröße verschmerzbar.
Toilettenspülung ist so laut, wie wenn ein Flugzeug neben dir landet 😅

While I appreciate the industrial look, the shower in my unit had absolutely no way of containing water, and the floor wasn't quite sloped enough to prevent water from covering half the bathroom while running. Thankfully it didn't spill out of the (elevated) bathroom down onto the rest of the room.

The location is not bad. The decoration of the common areas is nice.
Room size and comfort. At least a chair in the room would be required.

Staff was super nice and location great!
Communication was bad since the seconds of booking. Couldn’t get in touch with staff - got only AI generic messages back. Room Location was in front of laundry room - all night long the doors of that room were opening and closing. I Understand that staff have to do their duties, but please do not locate room next to all night working room. I could not sleep. I also could hear other rooms having showers , taking, etc etc…. Also it was not clean - dusts on too of bed shelve. Usb charging points wasn’t working - broken. only charging point next was next to tiny (in room, not bathroom located) sink , which was heating the charger to max ! Electricity wiring is dangerous. Next water - you have to wait for a water to warm up for ages and after it gets hot it is impossible to use.Shower uncomfortable. Sink is so tiny that I could not wash my hands without spilling water out everywhere. Bed was full of people hair. Bed back sode fabric wall was dirty. Also i was charged so much for room and taxes and also they took 75 deposit - which i wasn’t told about in advance. Also, i got to coffee vouchers, that I could not use pay for coffee in the morning. It was pretty embarrassing, because i didn’t take my card with me to lobby to get coffee. Lift was not working properly while touching . I feel super tired. It is way too expensive and not worth it at all.

Cool hotel design, great location, we were staying for a convention in the hynes and were able to walk from the hotel straight there. The staff were very nice and accommodating! Hairdryer in room as well as luggage storage after checkout was awesome. Having smart tvs that we were able to download streaming apps onto and login to our accounts to watch shows on services like youtube/max/disney+ was very cool as well.
Room was incredibly small, however the space had a good layout. Walls in the hotel were very thin, we could hear our neighbor's alarm go off through the wall every morning, as well as the door to our room had no sound blocking. We could hear everyone clear as crystal in the hallway, as well as we were across the hall from the stairwell entrance, and rhe sound of the door opening and closing was so loud it would wake me up in the morning. When the room was dark you could see light coming through from the vertical seam in the door where the handle was, showing that it was not a door that sealed shut. A microwave or fridge in the room would have been extremely helpful as we were staying several days, but i understand due to the size of the rooms it is not possible. Several of the outlets on the headboard also did not work which was unfortunate.

L’accueil est génial, l’hôtel est proche du centre et de la gare South Station. Ma chambre était magnifique, très lumineuse et le lit très confortable. Les douches partagées sont régulièrement nettoyées. Je garde un très beau souvenir de cet hôtel à Boston.

Really fun and hip decor. Loved the common spaces. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms clean. Great restaurant onsite. Friendly staff. Great WiFi.
The ladder leading up to the bunk bed is round and slippery. Housekeeping is by request and not default (didn’t realize this).

Love it - right off Newbury and the rooms and bathroom immaculate. Think luxury hotel!
Nothing!

Staff were lovely. Very small but pleasant coffee area open 9-4
Decor in public areas good
Rooms were extremely basic and you had to climb over each other to get into bed.
Décor is as though very little has been done in the rooms since it was a YMCA

Everything :)We had a pleasant time staying at the hotel! The staff were nice and friendly. The environment is very clean.
4.0
The bed was great, although we had a common bathroom it was clean. The common areas were pretty and the architechture was also quite nice.
The only problem was the sound that came from the pipes or the ventilation system, it was loud and annoying.
4.5
The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The place was modern and well maintained. Location was great, near to some quality restaurants and bars. The lofts had great amenities, comfy bed and gown.
Could of done with more coffee supplies, illuminated fridge was too bright for a light sleeper, tv wasn't ready to go, and shower could of had a dual head.
Except from very minor issues, very very good thanks.
4.0
The layout of the quad room was quite convenient and spacious, well-designed, and quite functional for a hotel stay, especially with children. The location of the hotel is unbeatable as everything is within walking distance and close to downtown Boston. The facilities (common lounge, coworking space, gym) were a fantastic idea.
The parking options need to be re-evaluated. The distance from the hotel (~10 mins walk) and the price (hotel discount is $30/day instead of $40 if you're not a hotel guest) were not appealing. For that price, I would prefer the convenience of parking closer to hotel.
5.0
The location was absolutely ideal, so many different places to eat and the T orange line was a few blocks away.
There was no on-site parking but that is fairly common in Boston so can't really fault them for it.

Good value. Great staff. Coffee on the ground floor.
The bathroom wasn't the most user-friendly. Odd shower layout and an insanely loud toilet.
4.0
We had a great mini family reunion at the Revolution and everyone had a great time.
I liked the location as it is sufficiently central and has a comparatively affordable price. The concept is close to European hostels with shared bathrooms which were nicely kept, well stocked and kept really clean.
There is a Bathroom Pledge wherein guests are promised the best quality products and one would say they pretty much lived up to that pledge.
There is a Cafe with a very pleasant gentleman serving and the facilities are attractive and offers room for recreation.
There is good seating in the lobby and the common area. The bath bags are also nice and well stocked and the bedding isn't bad. The double offers a King bed and the triple a king lower and twin upper. Our triple was cozy. We took a few rooms to allow ourselves more space. Each room comes with a very large TV with great channels and Netflix accessibility, so that was a great comfort.
You are also within walking distance of nice eating places. We loved Billy's across the road. They have great food at affordable prices and excellent customer service. You will love Billy's too! A 7/11 is opposite the lofts and boy did that come in handy!
Overall a really nice experience and exceptional value for money.
Well the bathroom down the hall had everyone scared. But fortunately our rooms were close to the main WC and it kinda grew on us. Especially because they were so nice and the showers were so wonderful. There is another bathroom on the far extent of the T (the hallways are T-shaped) and a private (really very nice one) for wheelchair accessibility.
The Revolution is pet friendly so be mindful of that. We didn't find the pets intrusive however. Owners always had them collared and restrained from moving about other guests. They were well behaved pets I observed.
The rooms are as small as advertised. Basic desk and chair but some shelving is there which helps.
I didn't like that nobody checks on room service even once in a while. But the rules say they won't unless you ask for it. I kinda thought it would have been nice if you are staying a week (like we did) if they had at least asked to do the bed up. We cleaned up each day ourselves. And did mopping, wiping and bed spreading so we could enjoy the room more.
Further every custodian I encountered was non-English speaking and getting a simple answer about anything was hard. This is not good especially if you have older guests like our grandma who was with us. They tell you every time "go to front desk" and that's not always convenient. Worse there are no telephones in the rooms. However, if you report a problem they will have it quickly addressed.
The Revolution is an interesting place. It has character, style and historic artifacts. You can see it was thoughtfully developed and that the pricing makes it within reach to all travelling types.

O hotel é lindo e super bem cuidado. O quarto tem um tamanho bom, e os banheiros compartilhados funcionaram bem. Tinha bastante espaço e privacidade, e eles estavam sempre vazios e limpos. Staff receptivo e simpático, e localização ótima!

L'emplacement par rapport à la gare : moins de dix minutes à pied.
La literie est confortable.
Le personnel ne vous considère pas vraiment, il est indifférent.
La localisation de la chambre par rapport au lobby : j'entendais tous les bruits de la réception , les conversations, jusqu'à tard dans la nuit.
L'aspirateur était passée devant ma porte vers 19h.
La chambre n'est pas bien agencée.
Il y a peu de rangements.
Le lavabo est trop petit.
Il n'y a qu'une toute petite poubelle.
L'eau de la douche s'écoulait par terre.

Stylisch! Das Zimmer bestand fast nur aus einem Hochbett das bis zu großen Fensterfront mit Blick auf Boston bestand.
Unbedingt einen Cocktail in der Hotelbar nehmen.
Die Subway ist in 5Minuten zu Fuß erreicht
Das Zimmer war superklein
Aufputzelektrik und Sanitärbereich waren rudimentär
