We stayed here for three nights wanting to be close to Back Bay. The hotel is comprised of old Boston Brownstone apartments, each with its own charm and character. Ours was only 3 doors down from the main lobby, so that was easy and convenient. This apartment fell under the Suite category. Our place had a kitchen with large refrigerator, stove with two burners, microwave, toaster oven, dishwasher, sink, plates and glasses. All very clean and convenient. The shower was modern and glass enclosed. A few things that could be improved could the the paper goods (paper towels and toilet paper were not the best quality, and the internet was a bit sporadic and slow - speeds sometimes of only about 1-2 Mbps). We loved the comfortable bed. Firm but not too firm and our pillows were all very nice...a total of six of them....making it very good for me since I like to have at least two when I go to sleep. The lady at the check-in lobby was very sweet and nice. Overall a great place to stay. Either for just one night or for extended stays. read more

Copley House isn't one location, rather it's a bunch of different units located nearby in Back Bay. If you are planning on being in a specific street, you can not do that. They give you the address the day before your check in with codes and instructions on how to get in. Copley House communicates via text and always answered promptly anytime I had a question. We were lucky to get a brownstone located on St Steven Street, which was walkable to lot of places and near Berkelee School of Music and Northeastern University. We had a studio with a kitchen and balcony. We couldn't lock the balcony door but it was elevated and difficult to get to from the ground. Location was great, neighborhood was quiet...but the walls were so thin, which is apparently normal in Boston. I could hear every voice as they were coming in the main entrance at night and every door slam. We stayed in such a cute place. read more

We loved the convenient location and vintage authenticity of the lodging. It was all good. We would definitely return. However, if you are challenged by skinny, twisty flights of stairs with your luggage, it's not for you. I particularly liked the original arts and crafts decor. read more

We just got back from Boston, stayed at 3 hotels from Hilton Park Plaza, a luxury apartment in China Town and last 3 nights at Copley House. Everyone at front desk was helpful, we met with Sophia on the first day when we stopped and asked to preview the room first and she was nice and friendly. Price is the best for the location and convenience. Bed is very comfortable, it is a lot better than the bed at the apartment we stayed previously but $100 cheaper per night. We like that it has a lot of storages, we booked a one-bedroom-suite and bedroom is very small but we love the very comfortable king bed. Kitchen has enough supply for cooking. When we asked for help, they sent someone right away to take care of the issue. It's just a small issue that our mom didn't know how to use an item there and she was in the room by herself so we couldn't help her. We would stay here again if we go back to Boston. read more

Copley House - The hotel entrance. - Guest Houses Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I stayed at the Copley House on Garrison St. These are brownstones converted to small apartments with kitchenettes (very convenient). It is not a hotel, so you will not have a front desk concierge, but it has the amenities you'd find at an Air B & B, such as shampoo, conditioner, and body gel in the bathroom. The location couldn't be better, it is in Back Bay, an absolutely fantastic location close to everything. I love that they are set in brownstones, which makes the rooms very cozy & quaint. Everything was spotlessly clean. The self check-in is straight forward and easy. The staff is super helpful and easy to reach by text, phone, or you can walk nearby to their main office. They will even hold your luggage for you after you check out so that you can finish sight seeing. Lastly, the rate was about $200 per night and was the least expensive rate I found for a stay within Boston proper and not out in the boonies. read more

My husband and I just spent a week in one of the few brownstone buildings managed by Copley House. It had all the necessities we needed for our stay and was conveniently located within walking distance to many shops, restaurants, cafes, and public transportation. It gave us a true Boston experience!!! We will definitely stay here again when in Boston. read more

Copley House - Copley House beautifully covered ivy brownstone. - Guest Houses Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The location was nice - lots of nearby restaurants and not too far from the Hynes Convention Center. However, I was expecting a hotel-like experience and this was not it. No front desk and limited amenities - no soap or conditioner in the shower, no lotion, and no housekeeping/cleaning during the entirety of my stay. The air conditioner spilled little specks of dust/dirt all over the table and any clothing/items I had underneath and the mugs were quite small so the Keurig promptly overflowed when I made coffee the first morning. There is no elevator and the staircase down to my basement apartment was very narrow, so definitely not accessible and far from ideal for anyone with mobility issues. However it was very clean (aside from the dirt that the AC spat out) so if you're a minimalist who doesn't need a lot of space or frills, this might be perfectly fine for your needs. read more

This isn't the worst place I've ever stayed, but it certainly isn't the best. The first thing that threw me about Copley House was before I even checked in. Upon booking, it stated that I would pay upon arrival. I thought this was a bit unusual, so I called and spoke to a Copley House employee who confirmed this for me. However, on August 23, I received an email stating that I would need to pay in full by Sept. 1 since my stay was during the Boston Marathon weekend. There had been no previous mention of this and now they were essentially giving me a week to pay over $2,000. I called and spoke with someone who I was led to believe is their manager? He was pretty disinterested and said that they usually send this email ASAP to anyone that books the Boston Marathon weekend but because of COVID they forgot to. I don't know how COVID affects an email that is sent annually but okay. He said there was nothing he could do for me, but then asked if I wanted to be charged Sept. 3rd instead. As if 2 days makes a huge difference I guess? Lol. So Sept. 1 rolls around and I'm not charged. A few more days pass. Finally I just call and ask them if I should still expect to be charged. I was nervous my reservation had been cancelled. My call spurred a charge, but just so weird overall. So serious about paying ON Sept 1st then not charging until I call. We checked in early Oct. The rooms are nice! There were three of us and we had plenty of space. The front desk employees didn't give us too much direction about how to find our building, but we got lucky and it was two doors down. We all agreed, though, that if we had gotten a building on another street it would have been difficult to find. We were so excited about the kitchen that we went out to buy groceries to stock the fridge. Lo and behold, we find out the next morning, the fridge was turned off. All of our food was spoiled. We attempted to call the front desk, but no answer as it was 8am and apparently they only take calls 9-6. We realized our iron did not work either but did not even attempt to call the front desk for that one. We were able to reach them regarding a wine bottle opener, which they said "should be in your room". Like we had just called without looking. They did bring us one and they were speedy with it! But that's about the only help we got the whole stay. Additionally, the bathroom had very little ventilation. There was a vent but it took a while to turn on and was not at all powerful. The walls had black mold on them. Super gross. There was also this giant hole in the wall in our living room area that we saw a bug or two run into.... Pics of both included. I know it is "apartment-style" rooms but it would have been nice to get fresh towels or have the trash taken out for us at least once -- especially when the front desk is so hard to contact. Towels were pretty gross and trash was completely overflowing by the time we checked out. I have never known a hotel to be so unavailable to their guests. If you don't care for decent hospitality but just need a decent space, I would recommend Copley House to you. If you DO care about decent hospitality, maybe book a different hotel. read more

Copley House - Bathroom -- black mold. :/ - Guest Houses Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Was not satisfied with the company house room we stayed in. It was room 821. I have to say the bed was pretty comfortable though. The bathroom needs a lot of work. Getting into the shower tub and out of the shower tub is not easy because it is retrofitted at least a foot off the floor. Navigating getting in and out of tub was difficult. The bathroom floor tiles were coming apart and thankfully I didn't cut my foot but I could've easily done so. In the living room area there are broken down heating units on the floor that are falling apart, the floor itself is old parquet flooring and it is also coming apart in several areas. Overall the floors were also quite dirty. I absolutely would not suggest staying here unless you look at the room first. I am sure I am sure there's other units that may be decent but the one we stayed at was not. We will be discussing this when I leave this morning with the management read more

Copley House is so inferior! one star is too much. We made reservations through an agent and were tantilized with an in-room fireplace and refrigerator as a real amenity after exploring the Boston sites. This was supposedly a Deluxe King Suite! The fireplace was filled by a fake plant and the fridge didn't even have bottled water! EMPTY! The few items in the "kitchen" were cheap! DIRTY AND MOLDY BATHROOMS, OUTDATED KITCHEN FIXTURES AND NO WATER BOTTLES! The rate: $843.00 for two nights!!!! When I voiced my dissatisfaction, nobody was available to assist. When I responded to the manager satisfaction letter, I was offered 10% credit! And, these same rooms are also being sold as long term budget rentals for $130.00 per night! DO NOT CONSIDER STAYING AT COPLEY HOUSE! read more

Great location in walking distance to Copley Square - quiet, clean, nicely decorated with all the conveniences for a comfortable stay. Basically hassle-free - no contact - easy access to the key to get into the apartment. Good/responsive communications. The apartment where we stayed was a few blocks away from a Whole Foods and coffee shop - perfect location. read more

Copley House - Exterior of one building that is part of Copley House - Guest Houses Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

When my boyfriend and I travel, we like our hotel to be good for sleeping and not much else. I found Copley House on Expedia and booked it, excited because it was way cheaper than the majority of Boston hotels, without requiring that we stay in a closet-sized room with a shared bathroom. I was nervous in the days leading up to our trip because there are many mixed reviews, but we didn't want to spend a lot of money to change hotels, so we stuck with it. We had a room in 19 Garrison, and we realized we had been upgraded to a king bed, which was amazing. The bed itself was super comfortable (much more comfortable than my own, so coming home was a bummer), and the room was pretty cute. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware/dishware/cutlery, and the AC kept the room nice and cold (a blessing since it was so humid out). Location wise, we were super close to a T stop, Prudential Center, and walking distance to everything we needed. Some downsides: the WiFI was awful. So awful that I didn't bother staying connected to it during our stay. The shower pressure was also pretty bad, but it was an older building so I assume that's part of the reason. read more

The Copley House was a perfect stay for my husband and I for 4 nights. The location is awesome, just around the corner from the underground transit system which is easy to navigate throughout the city. It is also right across the Prudential which is pretty much a mall and you can pay for floor 53, 360 degree view of Boston including the Harbor. There is plenty to eat and drink in the area less than a block away. The room itself is not high end and even had some patch work and minor damage however, everything was completely functional and given the price for slight eye sore, worth the trade. I have difficulty sleeping on vacation and I slept fantastic every single night. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The room had a table, microwave, toaster oven and refrigerator with small freezer. So you don't have to overspend on eating out if you are on a budget or prefer not to spend your time dining out although I have to say- the food in Boston was incredible. The front desk hours are limited however, they do have after hours help line. Bob, was able to help us reset our wifi when it wasn't working when we returned back after a day of adventure. He was very friendly and helpful. We stayed on the fourth floor and enjoyed the view of the neighborhood and it was mostly quiet considering it's a busy part of the city. We enjoyed our stay at the Copley House and would book again in the future. read more

Copley House - Guest Houses Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is not your average hotel. Think more along the lines of an NYC studio apartment but smaller. Reminded us as if someone turned dorms into a hotel room. The concierge and check in is on one block, the parking is a couple min drive down another and then to get to your room, it's about a five minute walk from the car. While confusing and not exactly the easiest for an out of town stay, the room is was clean. What I mean by not average hotel is that there isn't a breakfast or room service or any calls to the front desk for extras. What's there is there and that's it. When you get in, it's set up very apartment style. So it's just a place with rooms, there isn't a front desk in the area you're staying, and if you need something you're a little SOL. However, it was a decent price and a place to rest our head for the night. Bed was comfortable at least and there is even a little stove in the room. I can't speak to service because there really isn't any. Good for a quick nights stay but not a prolonged one. read more

Third time came back to stay at Copley House. Always a great experience, perfect location, quality of the apartments and very helpful staffs. Looking forward to come back and stay there again! read more

2nd time we have stayed with Copley House! Perfect location, communication was great and access to all we needed!!! We will be back!!!

Although small, the room was a nice, clean efficiency with a kitchenette. Parking onsite is very limited but other parking was available a few blocks from where our room was located. That was a bit inconvenient. All in all, this was a nice place for the money and conveniently located. read more

The service from check in to check out was great. The location could not have been better, and the accommodations were very nice! I highly recommend choosing Copley House! read more

Awful. Terrible and I'm still a yuest closing a deal, just showing them and present danger around the world 95 degrees out and the ac doesn't work. Rude and totally unhelpful staff, d ont know what they're doing and since they don't speak English (they are rude Chinese) you can't tell them what's going on. TV doesn't work, lights dont work, no shampoo/soap in shower. No in-room phone. read more

We stayed at the Copley House location on St. Stephen. The room was huge, with a personal kitchenette and nice bathroom. There was even a fireplace with a mantle. Self check in was easy, and when we went to store luggage at the main location, the staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this stay. read more

Pros: Beautiful neighborhood, convenient location, parking directly behind the building we were staying in. Cons: We booked Copley House specifically because we wanted a one bedroom suite. When we got to our room, we arrived to find that the "one bedroom" was merely a dividing wall between the bed and the rest of the room. There was no door and no privacy. I spoke to the front desk about it and was told "that's what we call a one bedroom suite." While they gave me the keys to check two other rooms, those rooms were also not one bedroom suites, and they would not do anything else to remedy the situation, despite me asking for management to follow up. They also charged us more for parking than was listed on their website and would not adjust that rate either, saying it was due to "inflation." The kitchen drawers were dirty and had crumbs in them, there was no dishwasher detergent, and no replacement of K cups or towels while we were there. Photos below show the two open doors to the "bedroom" and the space between the wall and the bed--- you need to walk into the living room and around in order to get to the other side of the bedroom. There are no dressers in which to store items, so all clothes need to be hung or in your luggage on the floor. It was not the worst place I've ever stayed, and we loved the location, but for the price the staff could be a bit more attentive and ACCURATELY represent their rooms and rates. read more

We loved our stay at Copley House! We spent five nights at our studio on Garrison St. It was great to have our own place right in the Back Bay neighborhood. We paid the extra fee to have a dedicated parking spot just around the corner. Totally worth it, not to have the stress of finding one every time we used the car. (And parking in Boston is not cheap!) Although, with our location, we didn't need to drive much. We walked to Boston Common, the Freedom Trail, Fenway, and across the River to M.I.T. The Star grocery and CVS were a short walk away, and a bajillion restaurants were in walking distance, too. We found the staff to be helpful, and we liked it that we were on our own unless we needed something! Since Copley House is made up of many individual rooms in a several block area, it's not a traditional hotel. That's what we loved about it. We felt like we really got the feel of the area, and thoroughly enjoyed it! read more

we stayed in the budget studio, and it was lovely! it was extremely clean, cute, cozy and comfortable. we stayed 3 nights and were convinced we had found a diamond in the rough with this place. we made good use of the kitchenette and saved a lot of money by cooking breakfast every day. they made a great use of the space they had available. the bathroom is bright, clean, and modern and the kitchenette is adorable. not an amazing view from this room, but why sit in your room when you can go out and get the views of the actual city? see attached pics-- dont mind our personal belongings in the photos read more

I would HIGHLY recommend staying with Copley House. My sister and I stayed in a Superior Suite for two nights with my dog and it was perfect for us. Location was amazing, close to T station (orange line), loved the coffee shops in walking distance, as well as OBSESSED with the unit -- classic brownstone! We also loved the self check in. Everything felt safe and would absolutely stay again! read more

Wonderful value! Excellent location! Accommodating, friendly staff - couldn't have asked for more!

BEWARE. Reviews on this place are very uneven -- I wish I had read more before I booked, thinking we were getting a good value for the money in a prime location. The location is great, but the cost is comparable to the Hilton or Sheraton nearby and not at all worth it. Positives: the location is outstanding and the WiFi was strong in our room. The bathroom is OK and the bathroom exhaust fan worked very well. There is AC. There is a kitchenette (but really, comparable to what you'd get in a regular hotel room plus dishes -- no dishwasher and it's strictly wash your own dishes; housekeeping didn't touch them). Negatives: The pictures on the hotel's website are VERY misleading compared to what we got. We knew the property was multiple buildings, but they are NOT all adjacent -- after check-in, we had to walk 2-3 blocks to our building (with our luggage) to a location at 171 St. Botolph. Be aware of this possibility if you come in a cab/Uber/Lyft and can't walk that far. Our BASEMENT room had no window, just a sliding door with a blind over it - claustrophobic when the blind was closed. The "patio" was a brick area with a bench outside our neighboring room's window, with a security fence/gate to the alley. Water dripped all night from the fire escape when it rained, and mosquitos came in if we opened the door (no screen). The room was painted a dark blue, and around the low ceiling, pipes are exposed (it is a basement). The room had water damage on the walls. The bed was very worn out/uncomfortable. The twin sleeper sofa had stained cushions and an old, creaky mattress. There weren't enough pillows for the sofabed (which was a twin, not a double as advertised). Housekeeping made the bed but didn't touch dishes, and the second night pulled up sheets on the foldout but tossed the blanket on some cushions on the floor. That and the fact that the bits of junk on the bathroom floor (including what looked like coating from electrical wires - a couple of 1/2" pieces that weren't anything we brought in) remained there after two days of housekeeping made me question how clean the place was. No luggage rack - just a rickety plastic folding chair. Had a table, but we used it for luggage because I did not want luggage on the floor. No vending or laundry in our building. The flight of stairs was steep, with short steps - would be dangerous to walk down if you aren't careful. When I complained after our stay, they would not do anything. read more

My husband and I really loved staying at the Copley House. Everything was great and I would definitely stay there again. I traveled with a small dog and was very happy that there was no additional fee. Also there is a small dog park within 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The parking was only $25 and close to the room. The area is vey charming and close to all the sightseeings. read more

We stayed at the Copley House over St. Patty's weekend and we were not disappointed. We booked through booking.com so the property listed is not the one you will stay in when your arrive. They own 9 bldgs and our reservations were a couple blocks away. If you want to stay in 239 you must request bldg. Nonetheless, we had a nice suite for 3. Your own little kitchen area with utensils, plates and cups. Neighborhood is great. Close to all everything. You can Uber, take the T or walk. It was pretty cold that weekend and we did a lot of walking. We definitely recommend this hotel. Staff was so good to us from the two ladies that checked us in to Edwin who checked us out. read more

My mom came for an extended stay to spend some time with her new grand daughter. The folks at Copley House provided a very professional and courteous level of service, and quickly responded to any issues that came up during her stay. We were lucky to find through them one of the few apartments in the South End with no stairs, from the sidewalk all the way to the apartment door. It's also a lovely location, right across from Titus Sparrow Park and next to the South End Corridor park/walkway. Great restaurants are right around the corner (Petit Robert), as is an excellent, independently owned market (South End Food Emporium). read more

My husband and I go to Boston every summer, but this year was different since we went on our mini honeymoon. We wanted to mix things up and try something new, and The Copley House delivered. We were going to end up paying double at another hotel, but I'm glad I stumbled upon this place. The main office and apartments are all located in cute brownstones surrounding West Newton Street. When we arrived, the front desk staff was very helpful and upbeat. Being more centrally located in the city made our walk to Fenway a lot easier than in the past. I booked a premium queen studio and ended up with a king, which was a nice surprise. We happened to get a basement apartment right next to the office, and landed a parking spot right outside our door. The added security of being off the ground floor would have been nice, but they make it enjoyable by adding a little patio right outside the door. Our room was very clean and spacious, however the floors felt a little dirty when we took our shoes off, but that's obviously not a deal breaker. The only issue I think we've had so far is the fan in the bathroom seems to be on its last leg and did not do a fantastic job ventilating. Other than that, I definitely think we will stay here again! read more

Truly enjoyed our stay at the Copley House and were very happy with the accommodations. The one bedroom was extremely clean and had plenty of room for me and my friend. The kitchen was supplied nicely with everything we needed. The location was superb, walking to pretty much everything we did, especially since the Orange Line was down. We took the train in from Central Mass. The station (Back Bay) is less than a 10-minute walk to the Copley house and it was through beautiful neighborhoods of Back Bay. The staff was friendly and extremely accommodating. We would definitely stay there again. read more

A wonderful place to stay for a home like feel! Bring coffee and food and save on dining out. A great way to enjoy the back bay without the impersonal feel of a hotel. read more

What a nice surprise to find this place. I had no idea this hotel/inn was here, and I have to thank hotels.com for suggesting this. Copley House is far more affordable than the other luxury hotels in the area, but so much cleaner, better, and comfortable than most of the other smaller inns and guest houses in the area. I can't believe it took so long to discover it! Service is on par with a nice 4-star, and the rooms are ridonkulously spacious, clean, filled with home-away-from-home features, but best of all, the location is absolutely perfect. You're in a very comfortable residential part of the neighborhood, but only steps away from restaurants, bars, and shopping. Best of all, it doesn't have a single air of that touristy feeling that sticks to you like honey on chest hair. Is it perfect? No. But you're at an inn, and after staying in more than 12 inns in the city and nearby, they ALL have certain flaws, and it really comes down to human error, timing, or sheer not-so-good luck. My room wasn't made up on schedule one day, but honestly, not a big deal, considering that I'm saving more than 50% from prevailing luxury hotel rates (where I am NOT as forgiving for the premium paid). Definitely one of my 2 top picks for guest house/inns, and the only time I don't stay here is when I'm on a tighter budget for the trip. Yep, I'm a fan :) read more

We stayed here for 4 nights and it was a delight. Our studio apartment was on the top floor of the main office building. It was clean, nicely decorated, great size and had all the amenities you would require. There is a maid service which was a pleasant surprise and makes it feel even more like a hotel. The location of the Copley is perfect, Boston is a walking city and here you are in prime location for walking anywhere, it is on a beautiful street with all brownstone buildings and it made us feel like we were living in Boston. I was extremely happy with everything the Copley has to offer, including the price. If we ever return to Boston, this is where I will stay and I would highly recommend it. It's perfect. read more
