My stay at Hilton Boston Back Bay had its ups and downs. While the location was excellent, offering easy access to attractions like the Esplanade and Copley Square, my experience with the staff varied significantly. The check-in process initially seemed smooth, as I received a room upgrade, but there were instances of poor communication and lack of attentiveness later on. Overall, I appreciated some aspects, but there’s room for improvement.

My stay at the Hilton Boston Back Bay had its ups and downs.

During my stay at Hilton Boston Back Bay, I encountered a mix of positives and negatives. The location is excellent, ideal for exploring Boston, and the check-in process was friendly but slow. While my room was comfortable and clean with ample space, I found the dining options disappointing, especially since the main restaurant was closed. Overall, the experience fell short of what I'd expect from a Hilton, leading to a lower rating.

Rooms

7.0

I appreciated the room's cleanliness and comfort, featuring a spacious layout and a large TV. However, the decor felt a bit dark and depressing due to the black color scheme, which didn't enhance the ambiance, especially in winter.

Service

Dining

5.0

I was disappointed with the dining options; the main restaurant was closed, limiting choices to the bar with a poor menu. The breakfast offered was not worth the price, and there were many missed opportunities for better offerings.

Facilities

6.0

While the facilities were adequate, amenities like the bar and room service could be improved for a more fulfilling experience. The lack of ice machines on each floor and the process to obtain ice felt outdated.

I had an overall great experience at Hilton Boston Back Bay, particularly enjoying the convenient location that was close to the Esplanade and various attractions. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, especially during check-in and in the Diamond Lounge. However, the breakfast offerings were somewhat basic, lacking the quality one might expect from a Hilton. Still, the combination of my spacious room, helpful staff, and comfortable beds made for a pleasant stay! 😊

Rooms

9.0

The King Premium room on the 22nd floor offered a stylish and spacious retreat with modern features and an expansive view. I appreciated the comfortable king-sized bed and quiet HVAC. However, the bathroom was a bit small compared to the room size, yet it included a nice glass stall shower.

Service

The hotel staff was really good, from the warm greeting at check-in by Alexis to the attentive service in the Diamond Lounge. They were quick to accommodate requests and genuinely seemed to care about making my stay enjoyable.

Location

Centrally located, the hotel was a short 20-minute walk from the Esplanade, close to Fenway Park, and surrounded by great restaurants and shops. It made getting around Boston very easy.

Dining

7.0

The breakfast in the Diamond Lounge had a decent selection, but it felt quite basic for a Hilton, and I wish there were more variety and freshly baked items. It was satisfactory for complimentary status members but not worth the retail price.

Facilities

8.0

I didn't get a chance to use the fitness center, but it looked well-equipped, which is a plus for future stays. The hotel also offered convenient self-parking, although it was priced at $50 per day.
