Needs Improvement

Large room, nicely furnished, but bath wasn't perfectly clean...hairs behind bath faucet. Newbury Street side of hotel, tree wells empty...and lantern broken. Arlington Street side of hotel...poor plantings. Hotel needs spit and polish and discipline. Bar charming and bartenders know their work.

Exceptional location in a historic city

The Taj Boston Hotel, formerly the Ritz-Carlton exceeded our expectations. I've stayed in similarly priced hotels all around the world, and the professionalism of the staff, location, and size and features of the room would compel me to stay again if I visit Boston.

Great location

The Taj Boston is in a perfect location! The subway stop is within one block and the start of the Freedom Trail was also within walking distance. Great shopping started right at our front door. Overall the hotel was fairly priced for our needs, but there was no coffee pot in the room which means we had to get dressed and head downstairs to the Cafe to get a $4 cup of coffee (taste was good). The bathroom was well appointed but very small--had to close the bathroom door to use the toilet. The shower pressure was very good considering we were up on the 15th floor. The final thing I found odd was that our bed had only a fitted sheet and a duvet. There was no top sheet so we requested one everyday during our stay. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay especially because the hotel's proximity to the Charles River and the 4th of July festivities.

This wonderful Old world Charm Hotel offers and delivers on it's promises

We booked this hotel at the last minute and when you do that you are always concerned. The Taj Boston is everything you would expect. Great staff, and a wonderful area of boston that is close to shops, restaurants, and sites.

Great hotel, watch out for number of beds when you book

The Taj was a perfect place to stay on the 4th of July.Very happy there. Room a bit noisy from mechanical noises throughout the night. Staff was wonderfully accommodating. Only issue is that I was searching for a hotel room with 2 beds. The first look at hotels.com indicated "1 king or 2 double" . When you go to book, it indicates that 2 double beds are not guaranteed, information I really needed when I was searching. The Taj provided us with 2 folding beds when asked, making for tight quarters.

Exellent hotel, watch room locations

Booked 2 rooms for the 4th of July weekend to move my son into Boston for the summer. I booked a premier room overloking the Public Gardens for my wife & I , & a standard interior view room for my daughter. Both rooms were nice, but the interior room, costing ~ $100 less per night was much more spacious ( seperate commode, huge bath, sitting area & 4 poster bed ), versus our fairly cramped room overlooking the park which you really couldn't see because of the overgrown trees. Granted, the interior view room overlooked the roof, but I think it was a much better value. Otherwise no complaints, good service, great location.

Nice hotel

Everything about the hotel was very nice. We were surprised by how we had to jump out of the car and grab all our luggage when we pulled up for valet service. Also to discover they parked our car on the street beside the hotel and we paid quite a fee for the parking. Breakfast was also quite pricey. Being adjacent to the Boston Public Gardens was lovely - walking around such a beautiful outdoor place in the middle of the city.
