This was a lovely property, we just happened to stumble upon. Lucky we did the staff was wonderful, the rooms were comfortable and what a view. While they don't offer dining services they do have coffee / tea / hot chocolate 24-7 and a microwave that you can use. There are tons of close resturants. Highly recommend Salty Girl down the street.

Dear Kelly,Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind review regarding your recent stay at our hotel. We greatly appreciate the kind words you shared about our property, services and coffee! A friendly reminder that while we do not offer room service we do have two French restaurants (La Voile and Bar a Vin 1855) in house. Saltie Girl is staff favorite as well! Come back and visit us soon. Best regards, NGH Guest Services

My friend and I had a great time staying at NGH. The staff and service accommodated all our needs so we could enjoy our day out as well as our time at the hotel. We loved the 1855 wine bar connected to the lobby. We were able to enjoy multiple shops, bars, and restaurants within 11 minutes of walking. I will definitely be booking again!

Excellent place to stay in the heart of Newbury Street. One can walk everywhere. And the T Station is 5 min walk for those places a bit farther away. Rooms are clean and well-appointed. Small refrigerator in room. Shower and bathroom spotless. Lobby has hot/cold/sparkling water machine and an automatic coffee machine for espresso drinks and tea. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
