The hotel lobby is stunning and steeped in history, giving it a charming and nostalgic ambiance. However, some features feel a bit dated; for instance, the bedroom doors have an old-fashioned design, and light from the hallway can seep into the rooms. The accommodations are comfortable and generally average. When you first arrive, there’s a slight musty smell in the hotel, but you quickly adapt to it, it’s definitely different from the standard hotel scent. Overall, it’s a unique experience with plenty of character!

Totally overpriced. Rooms were in horrible condition and dated. Pillows gave me massive neck problems. Mini fridge was nowhere to be found instead there was a note saying there being upgraded. For the price, this was not worth it. I thought I was bringing my wife on a premium experience for a quick romantic getaway… but it didn’t live up to the name or reputation.

Disappointing Experience with Security Concerns

We chose this hotel primarily for its promised security, but our stay turned out to be quite traumatic. One night, we experienced a horrifying situation when someone knocked forcefully on our door and attempted to push their way in. The only thing that prevented them from entering our room was the safety lock we had engaged. To make matters worse, our attempts to reach the lobby for assistance went unanswered, leaving us feeling vulnerable and scared. Later, we learned that the lobby staff had mistakenly given our room number to another guest, granting them access to our room without authorization, even though we had been staying there for two days. Overall, we are extremely disappointed with how this situation was handled, and we cannot recommend this hotel based on our experience. Security should always be a priority, and unfortunately, it felt neglected during our stay.

This is a wonderful hotel that is badly in need of a total restoration. We love old hotels but not ones that haven't been updated. Next time we'll stay around the corner at Raffles, pay a little more, and get a much more up-to-date experience.

This is a very tired hotel. We like old hotels but at this price point it should be in better shape. Doors don't close because of years of paint build up. Ceiling was chipping. Brass is tarnished. Hallways are dusty. Restaurant had food on the floor when we went to brunch. Water pressure was weak and AC wasn't strong. Fairmont needs to drop this one from their collection or close it down and do a complete, top-to-bottom restoration. the old place deserves one.

Always a classic; service levels are as expected (quite good but this isn't a 5-star hotel and isn't priced as one). Cori isn't the world's most enthusiastic lab but she's still great; my daughter looked forward to meeting her going in and out of the hotel, which is exactly why I chose it. Will be back!

I stayed 3 nights in June at the Fairmont Copley Plaza and loved every minute of it!!! - lobby reception, so friendly and when we checked in early the room was ready for us! - we enjoyed the brunch and weekday breakfasts and the menu is spectacular! Top notch menu with so many delicious options, every guest that received their meals were swooning! The restaurant is beautiful with a lovely ambience in the morning which shifts to a more upbeat environment for dinner. We loved the food so much we ate dinner there twice out of three meals!! Everything was fantastic!! Get the bread! Get the truffle fries, quite possibly the best I've ever eaten!!! Burgers etc all of it was amazing! I've had my fair share of a salad with +chicken, this was no "call it in" salad. The chicken was rotisserie crispy and juicy, the best. - our room was perfect, huge for a classic room, lots of space to iron and mill about. Temperature was easily adjusted and we could not hear anything going on above, below or outside, great night sleep on comfy mattresses and crisp bedding! - front desk were incredible! Danielle helped us finalize our bill and went above and beyond with Peter the managers help. Everyone listened, and truly strived to make my stay the best it could be. - finally the neighbourhood! WOW!! A block away from the Boston Public Library plus lots of shopping! Think Anine Bing, Veronica Beard, H&M, Anthro, Nordstrom Rack. And a 30 min walk to the action, modern pastry etc!!

Still the best hotel in the city

We recently stayed at the Fairmont in Boston and overall had a very good experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, with classic charm and elegant surroundings. One of its best features is the location — it’s right in the heart of the city, with easy access to just about everything you'd want to see or do in Boston. When we arrived, there was a bit of an issue locating our reservation in the system, which was frustrating at first, but thankfully the staff resolved it relatively quickly. Speaking of the staff — everyone we interacted with was friendly, professional, and really made us feel looked after throughout our stay. That said, our room was facing the street, and unfortunately, the noise from early morning traffic (especially trucks) did disturb our sleep a bit. If you're a light sleeper, it might be worth requesting a room away from the street. We dined at the hotel restaurant — the food was good, though we weren't overly thrilled. Still, it was a pleasant experience overall. Despite a couple of drawbacks, we would recommend the Fairmont for its charm, service, and location. That said, due to the noise and a few minor hiccups, we couldn’t quite give it a full 4 stars.
