We absolutely loved our 2 day stay here last year. Walking distance to Fenway and eateries. Beds were comfortable. It's an older style hotel. Only downside was the parking. There is not a ton of parking and if you are lucky enough to get into the garage, it's a tight fit to park. Can't wait to return.

Gutes Hotel mit Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe sowie auch öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. Ein altes Gebäude mit vielen Winkeln und Ecken, dadurch auch mit Charme. Jederzeit wieder.

Quaint

The front desk was friendly and efficient. the room was small but sufficient. The water in the shower got very hot which is always a nice bonus. Nice breakfast place next door (actually attached thru the main lobby). Free WiFi is available as well. We only spent one night here but for the price it was well worth it

The Buckminster is a pretty old property and not particularly fancy, but it was very clean and quiet. For the price, I was surprised. For a basic, affordable hotel in Boston, I'd recommend it.

Close to Fenway

Got there early and they had a room ready for me! Parking was $45, but they offered cheaper parking. Super nice staff! Perfect location for Fenway. Simple hotel, but perfect for my stay. Would recommend.

I like the prewar architecture;; however, it needs updating. The heat did not work. I had to use two space heaters.

Great location. Clean room. Only improvement that I would suggest is from TV standpoint is either have Bly-Ray/DVD player and/or movies and the shower head water jet was quite weak.

Very bad

We have no problem with old hotels. This place is like a hostel or something. No charm. Very very basic rooms. Paint peeling. Uncomfortable bed. No phone in room. Location is awesome though.

Great location. You get what you pay for.

Location is great. The room was tiny with a few of a brick wall... I've had better rooms there, but this was pretty inexpensive.Parking cost went up which is unfortunate.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room is spacious and quiet. The location is close to the subway station. The only things that are a little bit bothering me are 1) ice machine is not functional in my floor so I need to walk to the other floor, and 2) the water pressure in my shower is weak. Other than these minor inconveniences, this is a place to stay at Boston.
