"Go directly to Jail - do not pass GO....."
We stayed at the Liberty for a quick 2-day visit to Boston and thought this hotel was fantastic. Be sure to watch the history of the conversion from Jail to luxury hotel on the TV in your room! Our main mode of transportation was the subway and this location was perfect - right across the street from a RED line stop. Very comfortable room, large bathroom, […] increbily friendly staff, and a very interesting background story on the building - all in all, a wonderful place to stay. Would defintely come again and book at this hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Very nice hotel. Very lively lobby with after hours young adult influx. Was given a room with rollaway bed instead of two queen beds. That was a nuisance.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Enjoyed our stay at the Liberty very much....only complaint is that we never received housekeeping services in our room, when we were away during the day. We had to call for fresh towels late one night and then complain to the front desk the next evening when we returned to our room, and it still had not been cleaned. We still don't understand the oversight. […] The front desk gave us two complimentary breakfast vouchers as compensation. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by The Liberty Hotel - A Starwood Luxury Collection Hotel Thank you for your recent stay with us. I am very sorry to hear that you did not receive housekeeping service during your stay. It is our standard to provide service daily to our guests unless you decline service or request privacy; I apologize again for this hiccup in our service. We look forward to welcoming you back and providing you with the exceptional service that we are known for. Kind regards, Brian
We were very impressed with the overall appearance of the hotel...especially the lobby area! The Clink restaurant is a great place to start your day with a delicious breakfast and excellent service. In the evening, the lobby area is a wonderful spot to unwind in a comfortable arm chair or couch with a cocktail. Our room was quite spacious and pleasant, […] but we never received regular housekeeping services during our stay. We made a point of telling the front desk that no one had cleaned our room (2 days) in a row and were given complimentary vouchers for a free breakfast. This was the one downside to our stay...that we had to call for fresh towels @ 10:30 at night and then again the following day ask that someone please clean the room @ 6:00 PM! It was as if housekeeping didn't exist on our floor. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"failed maid service"
It would have been great except that it took 4 requests, including a live request with the front desk, to get our room cleaned.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Wonderful! Enjoyed the town car service to the airport. Excellent overall service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"comfortable modern charm"
the Liberty had excellent service from hotel staff and restaurant.the rooms were comfortable, modern luxury, clean and quiet. Easy access to the T and city attractions. A very indulgent treat.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location and lovely hotel"
Couldn't fault our stay. The staff were friendly without being stuffy and the location at the end of Charles Street was great for walking into the Back Bay area and kicking off the Freedom Trail at Boston Common. We stayed in one of the newer rooms (not a converted prison cell) and very clean amenities. Great to see a hotel that is proud of its his […] tory. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect location for visiting historic Boston"
The Front Desk Staff - specifically Theresa - was exceptional. The hotel was a great piece of history turned luxury. Great experience from Valet and Bellman to check-in and housekeeping. Looking forward to our next stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Boston trip"
The hotel is very nice over all. It is very distinctive looking and has a very unusual lobby. The staff and services are great. Great bar and restaraunts as well. My only complaint is regarding the double occupancy rooms. These rooms are supposed to house 4 people and the double beds are simply too small for two children let alone two adults. I booked […] a secoond room for our stay with a king size bed and all was well from that point forward. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cool Place"
Interesting, historic building-hotel is very well done. A little stingy with towels and the concierges were on the weak side but otherwise perfect-plan to stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Boston location"
The hotel is built around an old city jail and the architects did an amazing job of incorporating the "old with the new". It had very nice outdoor patios for drinks or relaxing. The location on Charles St. was just a block to all the Charles Street restaurants and shops. The staff were very welcoming and a nice touch to offer champagne at check-in and […] bottled water in our car from the valets at the end of our stay. These little things make a huge difference in the feeling you get at a hotel and we would definitely stay there again. My only complaint is that it would be much more comfortable to have queen beds instead of doubles in the room we stayed in. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Character of it's Own"
Great hotel, great location (Next to Subway), Great character. This re-built, former county jail has a great atmosphere, located close to MIT, Harvard, and Mass. Gen Hospital. Lots of activity in the lobby, because the bar has many events that spill into the lobby and to the outside seating area during weekend nights. Staff was super and the condition […] and cleanliness of the rooms were superb.Very nice! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Liberty Hotel was Awesome!"
OUr stay at the LIberty Hotel was just about perfect.

The rooms were very well designed,clean, modertn, and spacious. the Location was walking distance to Charles STreet, […] the River, The Boston Commons, etc. I would stay at the Liberty Hotel again for sure.

"Family Vacation"
I liked the Liberty Hotel for all but 2 things: 1. Water Pressure was too much and water gets everywhere in the bathroom. 2. Showerhead was broken and sprayed water up to the ceiling which ruined the plaster. The plaster fell into the shower during use. Maintenance had to come and patch during our stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cool boutique hotel next to Mass Gen"
A very cool idea, restoring an old jail that was well executed. The location was very convenient to the airport. The lounge is really cool with multiple dining options. Would definitely recommend.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel"
Really nice hotel for the price I paid. Overall, hotel was wonderful. Did have one bad experience with a concierge person that was not very helpful, and she actually gave me really poor directions. It's good that I was able to reason & follow a map myself!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

In practically every way The Liberty was a great experience. The Clink restaurant was lovely and priced just fine. However, i forgot my fleece jacket in the closet. I called within 2 hours to report it. Everyone was pleasant. I called again the next day but no luck. Now I can say that the ghost of the Liberty still lives. A.AraseGenuine Hotels.com guest review

We have stayed at the Liberty many times and have never had a bad experience. Great Hotel, great service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Former Jail turned into Luxury Hotel"
This is such an interesting hotel. It's history is that it is a former jail. You would never expect it to be turned into such a luxurious place. Everything about it is high end, from the welcoming glass of champagne to the slippers and robe in the beautifully appointed room. Details such as the room "key" are amusing. There are great restaurants within […] the hotel, but if you venture out up Charles Streeet and into Beacon Hill there are other restaurants and small shops close by. It is in a great location next to Mass. General Hospital. I highly recommmend it. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Close to start of all walking tours in Boston"
Possibly one of the best hotels I have stayed at - a very unique hotel having once been a gaol / jail - with a magnificent lobby !! Great to be so close to beautiful Charles St with its eating and coffee places as well as close to the Boston Common and the Public Gardens.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very cool hotel with amazing location"
Perfect location. Great to walk down Charles st and whole foods was 5 minutes away. History of hotel as a jail was very interesting. Design of hotel was amazing and restaurants were all very good. Surprisingly kid friendly too!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent stay in 'prison' - enjoyed very much"
The hotel is impressive, the architecture of the old prison ('jail') has successfully been transformed into a great boutique hotel. It's a great pleasure to have a drink in the clink. bar and enjoy the lobby. The only two negative: Food in the restaurant 'Scampo' was overall too salted, and on Friday evening in can get quite loud in the clink. bar (i.e. […] the lobby) or catwalk bar, which are basically the hotel guest bars. Besides of these, phantastic stay, good rooms, and would always stay in this hotel again. Compared to other hotels, this one has character! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

早朝にホテルに到着したので部屋のｷｰは貰えなかったが荷物はﾌﾄﾝﾄで快く預かってくれた。ｳｪﾙｶﾑﾄﾞﾘﾝｸの大きなｸﾞﾗｽ一杯のｼｬﾝﾍﾟﾝとりんごでの歓迎に驚いた。ｽﾀｯﾌの対応もｽﾏｰﾄで熟練している。特にｺﾝｼｪﾙｼﾞｪの対応は素晴らしい。地下鉄駅の直ぐで大変利便性が良い。川辺やビーコンヒル、コモンへも近くて散歩を楽しめる。ボストンの歴史ある雰囲気を味わえる。Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"예약시 웹사이트에서본 호텔 디럭스룸이 너무 작아 실망한 호텔"
스타우드럭셔리 계열이라는 기대를 안고 시설부분은 의심하지도않고 3명이 묵어야해서 디럭스룸으로 예약했었다. 보스턴 가는날 비행기가 연착되는 바람에 오전 7시가 다되어 호텔첵크인을 하게되어 샌프란시스코공항에서 미리 예약 연기를 요청하는 전화를 했었는데 이미 예약시 지불이 끝난 방이라 예약변경이 절대 어렵다고 했다. 대신 내가 요청해서 체크아웃시간을 3시로 연장해 주었다. 실망스럽게도 3명이 묵기에는 너무도 좁은 디럭스 객실과 바로 병원건물이 접해있어 전혀 뷰가 없는 호텔방은 보통 3-4성급호텔 수준밖에 안 되었다.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
