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
DK Eyewitness "This sleekly contemporary boutique hotel features modest-sized rooms decorated in a warm palette of black, taupe, and Chinese-lacquer red."
Rough Guide "The stark, glass-panelled front of this small luxury hotel belies an opulent interior."

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."
BlackBook "This modish boutique hotel attracts travelers (and their pets) who appreciate the finer things."

""Fantastic" and "very friendly" service stands out at this Kimpton brand property, which boasts an "excellent" Ruby Room lounge and "funky" interior swathed in red, black and white."
Lonely Planet "Done up in jewel tones and contemporary furniture, the Onyx exudes warmth and style – two elements that do not always go hand in hand." Full review

Ask for a room at the back of the property (numbers that end in "01" and "02") if street noise is a concern.

"This cozy, 31-room boutique hotel has a stately Cambridge location a few blocks from Harvard Square, with easy access to the subway and several area colleges." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This luxury four-story boutique hotel near Harvard University features mostly queen-bedded, intimate rooms with rich linens, and relaxed contemporary styling."
Rough Guide "Right in Harvard Square, this chic thirty-room European-style hideaway really puts the “ooh” into boutique hotel."
Gayot "What it lacks in space it makes up for in New England charm. Even the maids here are decked out in Brooks Brothers uniforms."
Travel + Leisure "A night at this 31-room Harvard Square hotel would be well-spent lingering in the lobby. Rooms are equally intimate, decorated in warm earth tones with intricate molding details." Full review
Jetsetter "Reimagined Victorian townhouse, with French-modern interiors and smart service in Harvard Square." Full review
