Hier geht schicke Architektur vor Komfort! Würde Hotel nicht empfehlen.
Pros:

Stylisches Hotel in guter Gegend.
Bahn gleich gegenüber ist praktisch.

Cons:

Innenlage der Zimmer, keine Belüftung möglich. Kein Licht von außen. Frühstück in der Lobby - viel zu wenig Platz für die Frühstücksgäste.
Klimaanlage dreht sich mitten in der Nacht von selbst auf, obwohl abgeschaltet.
In 3 Tagen Lift zweimal außer Betrieb.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Never again
Cons:

Being woken in the middle of the night by staff banging on the door aggressively, then opening the door while we were asleep in bed and then being shouted at to get out of the room. They thought the room should be empty, as they didn't look at the system properly. When they realised, there was no apology. It was such a horrendous ordeal I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night and we pushed the coffee table in front of the door as we were so scared someone might come back.

Also how did they know someone was in the room? Must have cameras in the room!! Disgusting.

Finally, long blonde hair in the bed and blood on the sheet.....vile

Grosse déception : beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est !
Pros:

Tout sauf la chambre !
L'emplacement de l'hôtel et son lobby étaient très bien.
Garage cher mais pratique.
Petit-déjeuner simple mais correct.

Cons:

Notre chambre était petite et sombre en raison d'une fenêtre donnant sur un couloir intérieur : ouvrir les rideaux signifiait renoncer à toute intimité. Côté salle de bain : espace minuscule, WC ridiculement bas et robinet de douche non fixé.
Le pire reste la climatisation, en panne tous les jours, nécessitant l'intervention quotidienne d'un technicien (très sympathique malgré tout). Le summum ? L'ascenseur s'est bloqué pendant que nous descendions au garage pour récupérer notre voiture. Une nouvelle fois, merci au technicien de nous avoir sortis de là.

Staff was not friendly at all
Pros:

Very basic

Cons:

Staff was not friendly. They did not provide a key to the room the entire stay. We had to go in lobby and request for someone to open the door every time we left the room.

This trip was dissapointing
Pros:

This was my 5th or 6th time staying at the Arcadian and I love the location for being near my daughter (student) and the walkability to restaurants and great neighborhoods.

Cons:

As I mentioned I have been to this hotel several times and it is quirky - the interior rooms were a shock at first but this visit I felt like the staff was not as great, I think it is odd that they don't keep track of return guests and welcome them back and the breakfast offering has gone downhill.

Compared to other Boston options it was good for the price!
Pros:

The Arcadian was pleasant. We had an interior room which was comfortable. Bathroom was a very decent size too!

Cons:

The air conditioner was a real pain to understand how to use! It seemed to just be blowing air around and never cooling the room! And was noisy!
