Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The location is one of the few positive components. The room has no exterior windows, the toilet ran throughout the night, there is no light in closet and the bathroom door is crumbling
Great location, T access in front of hotel. I love the lobby vibe. It's spacious and inviting along with providing 24 hour coffee, tea, and water. Although, the walls in the rooms are bit thin. We can hear people's conversation passing by and the plumbing noises from the next room. The rooms are smaller but cozy. Mohamed, General Manager, was excellent in attending to a few incidentals we had. Overall, we would definitely stay here again. To note, we have stayed numerous times at The Commonwealth. We prefer the customer service at the Arcadian. Customer service is everything for us when we patronized an establishment. Thank you for a great 6 night stay.

Breakfast was included in the price and honestly, it was terrible. I would rather not have breakfast included. No option to buy water or anything at the hotel, the bar area had beverage cooling fridges, all empty. Really disappointing

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Mediocre at best. Poor design and depressing rooms. Mouthy staff and 0 service awareness
The hotel is reasonably priced for what it is--comfortable room in a nice part of Brookline. The hotel parking is a bit pricey (I think $45) and takes a bit of practice getting in and out of it, but it's fine. The breakfast was basically bagels and cereal. But it was close to an event where we needed to be, and is very close to Boston (you can see the Citgo sign in Kenmore Square down Beacon Street).
Have to ask for everything; booked for two queen beds and trying to give me full size!! No phone in the room, had to ask for wifi, parking ($45 way too expensive), no protein breakfast served, just pastry--as much as they charge per night, they should at least give us something to remember them by and nothing but disappointments.
Nice location. Rooms were comfortable and cleaned daily. Interior rooms are a little dark. A floor lamp would be a nice addition.

The hotel was nice inside and clean. I booked this hotel specifically because the listing said it hard a bar inside and I wanted to grab a couple drinks before the event I was in town for. There are signs for the bar and even a whole blurb about it on the TV in the hotel room but when I went down there they said the bar was not up and running and that it never has been opened at all, I found that to be misleading.
It was our first time using Expedia and they booked me a room that was not available. When I got to the property, they told me that there was no available king size rooms (which was advertised and I paid for) and Expedia reserved a double full size instead. The Arcadian told me I had to take the issue to Expedia and Expedia said the hotel wouldn’t refund me. This will be the last time I’ll use Expedia and staying at the Arcadian.
Absolutely the best service at the front desk and from the cleaning staff. Very comfy beds and pillows. Great location. We will be using this hotel for each of our Boston stays from now on.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pluses: Location pretty close to BU (15 minute walk), breakfast included
Minuses: Minimal amenities in room, no cups/glasses or coffee maker, unusual design, no windows to outside, no restaurants/bars/coffee shops nearby.
Overall, was ok
Overpriced for a room with a bed. No facilities or food available on site and breakfast was very poor. Much better priced options available for a stay in boston
