Raffles is a great hotel with exceptional service. We had everything we needed and the staff was there for anything we asked. We totally enjoyed staying there and will do so next time we are in Boston.
4.0 / 10.0
The service was disappointing given the caliber of the hotel. They lost our reservation and once they found it took 2 hours to prepare our room. Room service was very slow and everything arrive cold.
10.0 / 10.0
Amazing hotel. The hotel staff were very helpful, attentive to detail and professional.
The staff at the Long Bar and Terrace were a different story. We got a table in the evening and no one ever came to us, we ended up standing by the bar and just ordering a drink there. For breakfast, we placed our order and apparently we were forgotten. I had to get up and go look for a staff member.
The room was great, but we found body hair in the tub as we arrived. It was taken care of but something to keep in mind.
3.0 / 10.0
Beautiful hotel, but layout a little strange. No check in lobby on 1st floor, u have to go up to 17th floor to check in, spa and fitness on 4th floor, my room was on 8th floor. Hallways very loud. Doors are heavy and slam reach time they are closed. Initially very very loud and difficult to rest. Reached out to concierge, they were quick to move meeting to another room, which was quieter. A small but petty thing. TV options were kind of limited. Movies are available. Pretty Woman, with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere available to watch. - come to find out, it's $19.99 to rent and movie can only be seen once. This is a 5 star hotel. Nickel and diming things like movies was a turn off. And $19.99 to rent a movie left me unimpressed and dissatisfied with the hotel.

Two very minor issue - no fan for toilet area, hot water in shower takes a bit. Doesn’t distract from my overall rating.
Easily a come back recommendation

Not sure I've ever stayed in a more fine and elegant hotel. From the super friendly, professional staff, to the immaculate and beautiful appointments, the Raffles beats them all. I could not believe the service - the very highest standard, where every single person makes you feel welcome, and wants your stay to be the best ever. Turn down service with hand made sweets, wonderful fitness room, Long Bar, where I was able to have coffee with colleagues in town. It was all amazing.

My stay was lovely. In ordering a cheese plate to await my arrival, a friend alerted the staff that it was my birthday. When I entered my very handsome room, a gorgeous little chocolate bday cake, under domed glass, sat waiting for me. Otherwise, the staff was incredibly attentive, the speakeasy was fun for a delicious cocktail, and the overall atmosphere was one of restrained indulgence. The place doesn’t feel ostentatious. Its elegance was much more understated. I loved it

Very good service.
Furniture in all areas and the room is low and petite. Not comfortable.
Bedding is comfortable.
Food on Long Bar was well prepared. However presentation is pedestrian. Ordered Avacado Toast. Tasty, but arrived on a small plate. No garnish, no fruit etc.
overall good stay.

Can only say wonderful things about this fabulous hotel! The Blind Duck speakeasy is not to be missed, the rooms are thoughtful and stylish, bathrooms equipped with Guerlain products, and the best thing of all has to be the exceptional staff! The staff can’t do enough for you and all have super personalities! Great location too! Will return, and will recommend ❤️
4.0 / 10.0
It took over 10 minutes to check in because two credit card machines in a row didn’t work. My room was not cleaned while I was out from 9a to 3:30p so I came back to a dirty room. Note- I did not have my do not disturb light on. Then when they agreed to come clean it at 4:30, they showed up at 4:05 when I was still in the room trying to rest. Finally, the pool was very substandard for a 5 start hotel/ it was more like a 2-star residence inn. The whole area wreaked of chlorine and it didn’t have any of the ambiance or sleek look one would expect at a top and expensive property. Any new pool should have saline as part of it which eliminates the chlorine smell and should have more money put into the building of the pool and hot tub itself. Very disappointing as a pool for my kids to use was a big reason I chose the hotel. Finally one of the lights in my room kept flickering when it was on. The staff were friendly if over-solicitous. This was a really disappointing stay.

From arrival to departure, our visit to Raffles was amazing in every regard. The butler service team was amazing, our dining experiences were fabulous, and the room was impeccable designed and perfectly stocked with all sorts of goodies during our visit. We will definitely return here the next time we get to Boston!
10.0 / 10.0
This was an awesome experience! The welcome/checkin process was smooth and filled with warm drinks and smiles. The butler service that Michael provided was above and beyond and made me feel like a queen. The decor is gorgeous and the Blind Duck was a gem. There are only a few things that detracted from my experience. One, there was a cup in the bar in my room that had white powder caked to the bottom. Not a problem as there was more than enough cups/glasses that were clean (as was everything else!). Second, I was awaken at 5:30ish in the morning by a fire alarm and walked down 12 flights of stairs to find out this was a false alarm. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather not die in a fire, but since this was my only night and I had a late check in I felt like I was unable to take advantage of the hotel’s amenities and was unable to sleep in as I would have hoped/liked to. Again, I understand that safety comes first, but did feel like my stay was tainted by the early morning freak out and trudge down 12 flights of stairs, due to a false alarm. Overall, I would love to stay here again and despite the hefty price I enjoyed the hotel.

Simply STUNNING in every way! Couldn’t be more accommodating or prettier.

Service was anticipatory and refined. Since it’s a new property, the good service will probably come with more polish as the staff becomes more experienced.

A hotel that has seen better days. Room and bathroom appeared to be in need of a makeover.
Hairdryer only on request, WiFi only available in the reception area.

impossible to find an entrance. the only marker is a small 100 year old bronze marker. a sign would have been nice. rooms were dingy and badly in need of an upgrade. 1960 bathroom fixtures, 5 year old paint .tv stand was broken down hinges missing, exposed wiring etc.
either the owners are broke or don't care

Rooms were clean. No bedbugs found. Bed was comfy. Rooms could use some remodeling and updating but it was a good price for they stay. Convenient to Copley area and other sites.
2.0 / 10.0
Hotel was nice and clean and good location, but when you write "wifi" in the description of the hotel I expect there to be wifi available in the room and not just in the lobby. This was super annoying that I had to go all the way down to the lobby to go online.
