Very Nice

Very nice hotel. I loved the decor and the and modern touch to the hotel. Very chic! Great location too, I was able to walk everywhere in the city from this point. Didn’t need a cab or take the T, Boston is such a great city!

Exceeded expectations

The hotel was very nice and in a great location to local sites. We were very early and not only did they provide a room, they upgraded us to a nicer room with a view. We took advantage of the free internet and were able to get our work done. The restaurant seemed a little too nice for our taste so we enjoyed two very nice pubs basically next door and a fabulous sandwich shop.

Great hotel in mid Boston

We found Nine Zero’s staff from the manager to the roommaids to be outstanding and some of the best we have ever encountered. The location is wonderful next to Boston Commons and could walk everywhere. We highly recommend it!

Everything better than expected

I was looking for a modern, designer-style hotel, close to Downtown. Everything about the hotel exceeded my expectations. Staff at valet parking were very friendly and welcoming. The room was fantastic and the view over the river was really spectacular - particularly at night. The hotel is excellently located to get around on foot, which is important for me. All-in-all a very pleasurable stay.

Great Hotel near Boston Common

Overall the hotel was wonderful. The beds were the most comfortable and the room had a great view. The ONLY complaint is that there was no coffee in the hotel room or down in the lobby.

this is our 4th time visiting nine zero.

As always was great. super close to everything. park the car and walk or take the t-rail to wherever you want to go. Rooms were comfortable and clean but showing a little wear and tear on the walls and furniture. I would highly recommend.

Great Location

The hotel is right opposite the Granary Burial Grounds, where Samuel Adams and others are buried and very close to the start of the Freedom Trail. I could see the Park Street Church from my window and hear its chimes.

Will definitely go back next time I’m in Boston

I love, love, love this hotel. It is located in the heart if Boston, very convenient to the T and some fantastic restaurants. Great fitness room and you can’t beat the evening wine receptions. Great hospitality and great service.

Great location Trendy Hotel in Boston

The hotel’s trendy appearance and comfortable amenities were a huge plus. The location is most convenient to all major venues like Fanuel Hall, shopping, Restaurants, etc. The hotel was quiet and comfortable, needed more comfortable pillow options, but we really enjoyed our stay. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our concierge made several restaurant recommendations during our stay and they were all excellent. We would definitely stay there again.

Better than expected, and the expectations were high

We expected good things from the hotel, and we weren’t disappointed. Great location, super-friendly service, terrific room. It was our 15th wedding anniversary, and Nine Zero upgraded us to a room with a sweeping view of the Charles River. Champagne was offered and provided, along with chocolate-covered strawberries. The room was spotless and the decor was tastefully done.

Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks

Getting to Nine Zero via subway is very easy, and probably takes less time than via taxi. Definitely cheaper. From Logan, take the shuttle bus to the Airport terminal. Buy a Charlie pass. Take the subway to Government Center stop and walk about two blocks to Nine Zero.

We had a great stay

Weekend stay in early August 09. Good location and within walking distance of several sites and restaurants. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful when I asked for recommnedations and directions. On-site restaurant seemed quiet for a weekend.

Nine Zero

Great location for Financial and Wharf districts. Euro contemporary, the place had a hip vibe which was kind of fun if you like that. Checked into a room by a noisy ice machine. They moved me right away NP.

Nice hotel, great location

The hotel is in a great location and allows you to walk to all the popular places, including the North End and the Boston Common. We were also on the 15th floor and had a great view, looking east toward Back Bay. There were some moldy stains in the bathroom - which had me wondering why they were just left there - but otherwise, the room was clean. The pillows could’ve been better too. On the plus side, the restaurant in the hotel served a great breakfast.

Nice hotel in the heart of Boston

On my recent trip to Boston for the 4th of July, I chose Nine Zero because of it’s location. This hotel was an absolute delight! We arrived very late - or, early, depending on how you look at it - and the checkin was quick and flawless. Being 2am, we were exhausted and we were in our room in only minutes. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. In fact, on most days of our stay, we slept in WAY later than would be normal on any other vacation! The hotel decor is simple, yet elegant. The service was, also, flawless. We enjoyed every aspect - including the wine reception in the evening. The only thing I’d suggest is that it be extended to about 2 hours. Currently, it’s only an hour, from 5pm to 6pm. Extending it to 7pm would be delightful. But, it’s only a suggestion...it’s otherwise a nice way to unwind from a day of sightseeing. I would recommend Nine Zero to anyone staying in Boston for it’s comfort, service by the staff and it’s central location (almost directly across the street from Boston Common).

Traveler's tip on local attractions

Nine Zero is located almost directly across from The Granery Burialgroupds, Boston Common and the Public Gardens. It’s within walking distance to all of the historic sights in the city and very close to the business center. If you prefer public transportation, the ’T’ is available (red & orange lines) at Park Street.

Great Hotel

This is a fantastic hotel in a great location. I have stayed here on business, and most recently with my family on vacation. Great location, comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff.

Great location for chasing history

We stayed at the Nine Zero over fourth of July weekend. We are a family of four and it was nice to have two queen beds where we were all comfortable. Its much better than booking two doubles. Room was nice, not much of a view but we were doing a lot of sightseeing and didn’t care much about looking out the window. We didn’t eat there or use many of the hotel services. Scotty the consierge was genial and able to get us tickets for tours. Its a great spot if you are planning time for the Freedom Trail and Quincy Market and the waterfront. Really close to the T and Avis Car Rental. Would stay there again.

Definetly Woth It!

The Hotel Nine Zero is priced comprably to other hotels in the vicinity, if not a little less. I have visited Boston for the past 3 summers, and keep returning to the NineZero. First, it is in a perfect location, right off the Freedom trail, a block form the Common, and a 5 minute walk from Quincy Market, and directly off the T-system. The staff is always super friendly & accomadating, and they daily wine tasting from 5-6 is a treat. Plus the rooms are very clean and upscale, with modern decor and furniture. We love it.
