Amazing
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at Newbury Guest House, in my opinion the ideal place to stay in Boston.

The staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The location in Back Bay is perfect for exploring the city on foot, with shops, restaurants, and attractions nearby. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we slept wonderfully.

I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Boston!

Great stay and location
Pros:

The location of Newbury Guesthouse was perfect for our visit. There are excellent restaurants everywhere, and even though Newbury is a popular and busy street, we didn’t hear any noise. But what stood out most to me was the staff. They were exceptional and went above and beyond if we asked anything. We will definitely stay here again! Highly recommended.

Lovel boutique property on Newbury Street
Pros:

For our activities, it was a perfect location.
Clean, nicely furnished room with a nice step-in shower.
Glad we asked for a room NOT facing Newbury street, which is crowded, very, with pedestrians, outdoor dining, and traffic. Our room was very quiet.

Toplocatie om te verblijven in Boston!
Pros:

Locatie is top en dichtbij alle voorzieningen zoals loopafstand tot Common Park en Fenway Park voor honkbalwedstrijd van de Boston Red Socks.

Cons:

De prijs is echt hoog, ook voor parkeren moet je extra betalen. En het is jammer dat ze geen ontbijt serveren. Broodjes bij Levain zijn dan een goed alternatief.

Excellent and authentic back bay
Pros:

All back bay residents should know about this place for their friends and family. It is quiet, beautiful, very back bay. The receptionist and check in was excellent and courteous. I've stayed at the Newbury for 4X when need be (maintenance in apartment, etc) and I thought the Newbury Guest House was a perfectly fine stand in.
