The hype
Great location for foodies and theater fans, but the rooms feel tired and the street noise is relentless.
Doubletree By Hilton Boston-Downtown
$150-300/ νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want to be steps from Chinatown's best food and the Theater District, and you don't mind a bit of city grit.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- Incredible access to Chinatown and Theater District dining
- Free access to the massive Wang YMCA next door (Olympic pool)
- The signature warm DoubleTree chocolate chip cookie at check-in
Γρήγορη Ματιά: A functional, slightly dated basecamp in a noisy, high-energy location that trades luxury for unbeatable access to dumplings and shows.
Αξιολόγηση από @PlanetREMM: I stayed here for a weekend and the location is unbeatable—I walked everywhere! The room was super practical with a fridge and microwave, which made ordering in really easy. Solid choice if you want to be in the heart of the action without the fuss.
Ο Επισκέπτης που Έμεινε Εδώ Είπε
Reality check
Many guests are shocked by the 'motel-like' bathroom finishes and the mothball smell that occasionally lingers in the lobby.
- You plan to eat your way through Chinatown (2 mins away)
- You are seeing a show at the Boch Center or Wilbur Theatre
- You want a full gym experience (YMCA access is a huge perk)
Καθαριότητα & Συντήρηση
7.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally reliable, though some guests report missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional but dated. Grout is usually scrubbed, but fixtures show age and wear.
- Maintenance: The building is old. Expect occasional peeling paint or slow drains.
- Linens & towels: Towels are frequently described as 'scratchy' or 'sandpaper-like' by reviewers.
- Odors & scents: Lobby has a distinct, somewhat chemical/mothball odor; rooms can smell musty if windows aren't opened.

5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The lobby often has a faint, lingering smell of mothballs or old cleaning products.
💡The 'gym' inside the hotel is tiny; the real perk is the YMCA pass, but few guests actually use it.
💡The bathrooms are surprisingly basic with shower curtains that feel very 'motel-grade'.
💡You are sleeping in a former Catholic high school classroom.
💡The elevators can be slow and clunky during peak checkout times.
