The Onyx Hotel is conveniently located to attractions and transit but is not in a historically scenic neighborhood. On the plus side, it is on a street that is less traveled so it is quiet and has very little foot traffic, but one has to look beyond it for entertainment in Boston. The 'feel' is that of a small European hotel. The lounge and the rooms are small but have every amenity. The restaurant is limited but that is not a problem in a major city. I would definitely stay here again. The rooms are gorgeous but small, and provide irons, internet, bathrobes,etc. The shower is great. The small room was not a problem for two adults but frankly, could be troublesome for very large adults or a couple traveling with children.

Lounge staff is very pleasant and accommodating. Room, although small, have everything you need and then some.

Rooms are quite small. The street is not scenic but there is more 'character' nearby.

Guest Score: based on 52 guest reviews

Visiting Boston is a lesson in colonial history and a visit to The Onyx Hotel is no exception. Located in downtown Boston the hotel is four blocks away from Faneuil Hall. Should you time your walk on the Freedom Trail to deliver you to the front steps of Faneuil Hall at lunchtime you will be greeted by an aroma of foods. The hotel is perfectly located to everything great Boston has to offer. North End home to amazing Italian restaurants and the home of Paul Revere is only blocks away. Save space for dessert, Mike's Pastry and Modern Pastry are well worth the wait. The Boston Harbor is a quick 5 minute walk from the hotel. Here you can catch a ferry and tour the harbor or take a ferry to Salem, home to many witches. The Boston Aquarium is on the Harbor. Should you choose to go shopping Newbury Street is a short subway ride away.

Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?

Guests to the hotel have loved their stay. From the deep red suede chairs to the sleek white and black carpets. The beds are so comfortable you will not want to get up in the morning. The bathroom has Aveda bath products which is a nice touch. The staff is quite friendly and helpful. It is a true gem in a big city.
