Frommer's "This plush boutique hotel is the finest property in this evolving neighborhood, which grows more pleasant by the day but is a zoo before and after big events at the nearby TD Garden." Full review

"On a barren street in the desolate West End, the once-stylish Onyx Hotel is affordable and convenient." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Tucked away on a side street in the downtown area, the Onyx is a Kimpton Group boutique hotel located within 1.5 miles of city highlights like Faneuil Hall, Bunker Hill, and TD Garden." Full review

Avoid the “Britney Spears” room – designed by her mother, it looks as you would expect the singer’s childhood room to look, complete with pink bible and fairy statuettes.
Star Service "This bonny boutique-hotel has a long list of added perks that come standard at Kimpton hotels (including nightly wine and cheese hour)." Full review
Gayot "This swanky member of the Kimpton hotel group enjoys a great downtown location for sightseeing by foot."

Insight Guides "Just steps from Boston Common, this modern yet historical hotel offers great views of Charles Street and Beacon Hill."

DK Eyewitness "Rooms are fairly small but chic with soothing colors, plantation shutters, and flat panel televisions."
Rough Guide "Pampered luxury in the heart of Beacon Hill, these thirteen small but sleek chambers occupy a regal mid-1800s brick building."
Star Service "This is a lively little favorite, offering an informal yet elegant contemporary ambience that blends local history with updated modern accents, all in adjoining 1830 and 1850 town houses." Full review
Gayot "The rooms here are small and intimate, but they aren't the major draw."
BlackBook "Only 12 rooms and one suite available, (each one unique) but size gives a personal touch."
