Smart hotel well placed for Harvard and MIT
Pros:

New hotel with a cool vibe.
Restaurant attached is Nepalese with very interesting flavours
Breakfast was traditional and very good
Rooms are more Scandinavian functional than Uber luxe

Cons:

The roof bar is excellent but was closed for private functions on 3 occasions out of 8 days which was disappointing

The hotel was wonderful and very stylish interiors and comfortable rooms, but the real stars of the show were the reception staff! They could not be more accommodating, friendly and good-humoured. I highly recommended this hotel to anyone who appreciates top notch customer service.

Modern hotel, great location and friendly staff
Pros:

It’s a new and modern hotel in a very good location, even though it’s not right in downtown Boston. It’s directly across from Harvard Business School, which makes it a great base for exploring the area, and MIT is also within walking distance.

The staff is very friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. Overall, a very good option for a stay in Boston.

A Wonderful Stay at Atlas Boston!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Atlas Boston. The hotel is new, exceptionally clean and beautifully designed, blending modern style with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The spacious, thoughtfully arranged rooms feel both practical and relaxing, while the incredibly comfortable beds made for excellent nights of sleep.

The well-equipped gym made it easy to maintain a workout routine and the fantastic location was ideal for exploring Boston. Every detail, from the polished interiors to the cleanliness and service, felt carefully considered.

A special thank you to Arnaldo and his team for their warm hospitality and attentive service. They made the experience feel especially personal and welcoming.

Atlas Boston is a lovely addition to Boston’s hotel scene and I would happily stay here again. Highly recommended!

Cons:

Honestly wasn’t anything I disliked during my stay. Everything went smoothly and I appreciated how comfortable and well cared for I felt throughout my visit.

Pros:

Das Hotel ist gut ausgestattet und wirkt modern und ansprechend. Ruhige Lage.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind in vergleichbaren Hotels in den USA in der Regel größer. Beim Check-in war das Personal mit europäischen Namen überfordert und brauchte fast 20 Minuten um die Reservierung zu finden. Kurz bevor der Supervisor dazukam. Die Zimmerreinigung fand erst spät am Nachmittag statt und wurden die Böden (Teppichböden) nur nach Aufforderung gesaugt. Beim Check-out stimmte die Abrechnung (Parking) nicht und musste ebenfalls mit dem Supervisor abgeklärt werden.
