Summary: Most wonderful staff and location for our trip
Louise C Aug 11, 2025 06:15:00 PM
Summary: Overall we got a great room with a great view. But We asked for 2 adjoining rooms and called ahead to confirm. But when we checked in we did not get them. Instead we got a noisy party group next door that woke us up at 1am.

Summary: Such a great staff, a real hideaway with walking distance to Boston and right on the Charles for a run in the morning. Well done. Look forward to coming back.
Fin Aug 6, 2025 08:33:13 PM
Summary: I had exceptional service from those that worked there and the room was extremely nice and comfortable

Summary: Check-in was easy but once we got to our floor, we noticed maintenance was in the room next to ours (further down the hallway). Upon entering our room, we noticed that there was a smell coming from the bathroom and the sink was backed up with black residue all on the bottom of the bowl. The toilet also flushed so hard that water burst over the seat and onto the floor. My husband had to go back to the front desk to ask to move us. Our new room was fine, and clean, but I feel like management should be communicating to the front desk about issues they’re having. I also feel like if your hotel has parking, it should be included in your room rate. As far as this hotel goes, I think we can find better accommodations in the city and surrounding areas.

Summary: Staff very helpful and friendly and good location
Deborah Jul 31, 2025 07:35:01 PM
Summary: We were very pleasantly surprised with the friendly service, the beautiful lobby, and the very gorgeous panoramic view in our room. We were greeted with enthusiasm and kindness when we arrived, and the employees in the hotel lobby were super friendly. The ladies who worked in the Starbucks were absolutely lovely. Overall our stay exceeded expectations. The bed and room were very comfortable. The only things that could have been better were: The outlet by the coffee maker was inaccessible and the alternate outlet did not work. The hostess at the ArtBar was very rude. We asked to sit outside and she said "There's nothing outside" when there clearly were empty tables outside. We asked if we could wait for a table and she rolled her eyes and said yes. We were standing waiting for a table and she told us to "go sit down (in the lobby) because it's going to be a while." Super rude. Thankfully another woman who appeared to be managing things came out and led us straight to a table outside which she cleaned off herself.

Summary: It was fine for what we needed. It was a quick overnight for a concert at the Garden. Room was small. Window did not shut completely which really bothered my husband. I thought it was fine overall. Clean. *Bar had odd hours.

Summary: The Royal Sonesta has beautiful rooms, and some dingy ones so be careful! I selected to change my room type on Hotels.com which lowered the price of the room ( weeks before my stay) The hotel did not honor this, Dorian gave us very difficult time at the desk, blaming 3rd party booking, even though I had my receipt. When we finally got in a room it was awful, It was dingy and dark with huge carpet stains and a section of carpet all tore up. I could not believe they would book such a room for 300+ a night. After a lot of hassle we were moved to a cleaner room, which I did appreciate. I looked on the Sonesta’s website as instructed and they could have booked me in the same room at a much lower rate, Dorian did not offer this. The girls at the desk in the morning were very nice and helpful though. We used to love staying here, the pool is nice and the river view of Boston. It’s an easy walk to the TD garden. Parking is convenient but expensive ($47 per night), and there was no valet this time. I use Hotels.com for all my booking and have never had an issue expect for at the Sonesta.

Summary: Staff was wonderful and accommodations was acceptable except did Did not like having a room next to elevator shaft. The room was noisy every time the elevator passed by.
