Great location in town
Love this spot for the location, adorable courtyard where you can sit and enjoy your coffee in the morning or book a reservation for dinner in the evening. Have stayed here a number of times and despite high price and small rooms there’s special about it that something keeps me coming back!

August in Nantucket
We loved the hotel, the courtyard, and the proximity to all of Nantucket. It was an amazing location, with great rooms, great service, and a wonderful bar, restaurant, and lounge. All of the employees were wonderful as well. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Clean, cute & convenient
Had a great stay at The Faraway! Property and room are very clean, well appointed, generally comfortable, although extremely tight (as is almost everything in town on ACK). Appreciated the friendly, helpful service and convenient location.

Not worth the cost at all.
Place looked nice, but staying there was AWFUL. The mattress was outdated and extremely uncomfortable/hard. Every pillow in our room looks nice, but went flat instantly. The hallway was extremely loud with slamming doors all night. The floor above us stomped all night and the walls are paper thing, so we heard every nuance of the neighbors… love making.
Needless to say we got zero sleep and got to pay $900 for that.
The one positive is the bar area is cool and has extremely friendly bartenders

“Eh”
Positive that it was close to town. Service wasn’t great. Most of staff was not friendly. It was not accommodating to families with children. Just kind of “eh” all around. Probably would try a different hotel next time.

The location is unbeatable, very nice rooms with one of the best hotel bars on the island.
We had an issue with our room and we were provided a different room, which delayed check in, we didn’t get the room until 6ish, but overall the hotel made up for the room mishap.

The place is very charming, but go after the season opens as it does not have the bar open or the coffee shop open before the season is in full swing.

Great hotel, great location, awesome staff.
Our “Petite King” room was clean and nice but absolutely tiny and in the 3rd floor eaves so you couldn’t stand up. Next time I’d upgrade to another type of room but I would definitely stay there again!

Arrived right around 4pm and check-in was disorganized and chaotic. Our room was meh, and the AC didn’t work the second night so it was very stuffy and uncomfortable.

Not a good experience
Beware of this hotel, check in is at 4pm, everyone needed to store their bags and the lobby was so small so it was constantly filled with bags. communal bathrooms that were not clearly specified which made me feel fully unsafe. The staff seemed stressed. Also room was just a fail, one outlet, super cramped and not what was pictured.
Overall everyone including me was on edge, there was a general vibe of anxiety

Unacceptable Disregard for Accessibility & Health
Our stay at Faraway in Nantucket was unacceptable. I informed the property that my 78-year-old mother has COPD and cannot climb stairs. Despite this, we were placed on the 4th floor with no elevator. When we requested a room change—offering to take any downgrade—they refused and dismissed our concerns completely.
This is not only a failure in hospitality, but also a disregard for basic accessibility standards and ADA compliance. Guests with health conditions deserve safe accommodations. This experience was stressful, dangerous, and deeply disappointing. I will never return and strongly caution others, especially anyone with mobility or health concerns, to avoid this property.

Front desk staff was inflexible and slow in checking and checking out. More experienced staff should be manning the front desk. Further, it was unreal to see the front desk staff dressed in a southern plantation servant style. Made me feel uncomfortable.
