Hotel 140 in Boston

As i expected from reading reviews, the hotel was conveniently located, clean, had very small rooms. It was comfortable and served its purpose. I would stay there again if the price remained lower than other hotels in the area.

First of all, the hotel was in a good location for me and it was what I needed for my business trip to Boston. I only stayed overnight. I was disappointed that there was no good workout room. There was only a small room with a bicycle and eliptical machine. I did not use them because I wanted to use the gym that apperently the guests had access to for […] a "nominal fee". Well, this gym had been closed down for a few months as I came to find out. The information in the little handbook in the room was not updated with this information. In addition, there was mention of a shuttle service to the airport through a third company but this also had been discontinued so taxi was the only way to get to the airport. There is a little sandwich shop in the hotel and free wi-fi. The hotel room was however pretty cramped. My guest bedroom in my apartment is bigger then the hotel room + bathroom. There is only a shower, no bathtub. TV is LCD and nice, free HBO is good. Bed was clean but there was not a comforter. I find it hard to sleep with just sheets on top. I need something heavier on top to feel comfortable. I asked for a late checkout and they were accomodating to that. Lees meer

hotel staff were very friendly. they do put a $50 extra hold on your credit card for incidentals (even though there isn't even an honor bar) so not sure what that is for. Also building is shared with a ymca. My floor and room had heavy chlorine odor which was initially very irritating for my allergies. otherwise the room is clean. bathroom small but […] serviceable. fine for price. Lees meer

Hotel is well-located in the Back Bay. Room and hallways were very clean, but austere. Wife said she felt she was staying in a college dorm room (well, bldg WAS a former YWCA!). But price was right in expensive Boston. Just don't expect plush.

If check-in is at 3:00pm, do not show up even a minute early. They will not let you check in. Also, place a pillow between the bed and the night stand, they are very close and you may hit yourself in the middle of the night if you turn. Ouch! Otherwise great stay. Fantastic location.

This was our first trip and didn't know the lay of the land. This hotel was perfect placement as far as being in the middle of both directions we were headed to. The room was definately small but we did not stay there but to sleep. A workout facility would have been nice but we did get plenty of walking in. Parking for the hotel was not cheap. I expected […] more of a discount on the parking or at least a heads up of the expense. All in all we were happy but may try other hotels if we go back in the future. Lees meer

For the money I paid, Hotel 140 was a terrible experience. The room was tiny; the bed was butted up against a standing closet; the bathroom was so poorly designed: a slanted shelf (things slid off to the floor), one light on the left, sink tucked too far under shelf, shower head that put out an insultingly tiny spray of water; the walls were thin; the […] bed was a trampoline-style joke (and tiny); no room service; the whole experience left me feeling cheated. I will NEVER recommend Hotel 140. Lees meer

In walking proximity to shopping in Prudential Shopping Centre, Newbury Street, Boylston Street and just a 4 minute walk to the nearest T (metro) station - Back Bay Station.

Great location, and all required standard services are provided. You will not be able to beat the price-quality of this hotel in this area of Boston. Great for those who need a good place to stay and could not care less about the prestige or 'luxury' aspects of hotels.

This is perfectly located hotel, convenient to all major attractions and the business districts. It's also very close to public transit, both rail and bus. There's a grill that serves breakfast, and the lobby is clean and bright and nicely furnished. The room was small, but perfect for one person--might be a squeeze for two. It was spotless, tastefully […] decorated and comfortable. I would try to stay here again, if I saw a good rate. It's also near many bars and restaurants. You can't go wrong here. Lees meer

This hotel is right in the heart of things, has very comfortable beds and clean and efficient. rooms. The only drawbacks are that there is no desk in the room and the street was a bit noisy in the morning. But otherwise the value can't be beat.

Room small little room to move

Hotel 140 is a good old fashioned hotel and it was comfortable. I only wish it had a good sit down somewhat up scale resturant. The resturant that is there now serves a good breakfast.

It was very small and cute.... located very close to newbury and boylston street... hotel service very friendly and helpful... had a great time!

The hotel was convenientlyt loccated and comfortable. I would stay there again.

Small rooms, but clean. Good cheap hotel, except for the shower which has almost no pressure.

If the hotel can keep the rates down under $100/nt, I can't imagine it not doing great business. The rooms are small, but just what the business traveler needs. They're clean, comfortable, and a super quick T ride to downtown.

Enjoyed the location and its convenience, good clean and efficient rooms, only issue was very low shower pressure and sundries shop in lobby closed early evening.

Terrific find -- a bit tiny but the service and location can't be beat! Made it my go to spot when working in Boston.

The 140 Hotel is an impressive building, and a decent enough hotel - the rooms are normal size and nothing special, but for the rate I think its good value for money. It is in walking distance to metrostations, a train station and a huge shopping centre, and is a good choice if you're looking for cheap accommodation in this region. The shower was a […] complete mess, the windows "leaked" cold air and the heating system is the noisiest i have ever heard, but apart from that, we were quite content - you get what you pay for. Nice and very friendly and helpful personell. Lees meer

If you want a tiny room with a television that was build in 1997, this hotel is perfect for you.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at Hotel 140. Two of the three front desk people that I spoke with were extremely helpful and nice. The one girl who worked in the evening did not call me back after I told her that the bed was broken. I understand that she was dealing with some irate customers, but I believe that every customer deserves a […] call back. I was actually able to fix the bed on my own. The bed frame was flimsy and just needed to be clicked in place. The location, neighborhood, and the overall value of the hotel make this place top notch. Remember that this is just a place to sleep or rest your head while you are visiting Boston. Don't expect five star service or a spa, indoor pool, or Michelin rated restaurant here. I'd stay and recommend to my friends! Lees meer

i spent two nights in the hotel for travelling around Boston. The receptionist was very hospital and helpful, giving me the whole direction and recommondation of the tourist routine, for it was my first trip to Boston. I really appreciated that. one more thing i would like to say the serived they offered was wonderful too. In all, i really enjoyed the […] time i stayed in this hotel. Lees meer

As a native Bostonian returning for a night in the city, I was pleased to stay in the old YWCA which is now a hotel, apartments, and theatre. Upon arrival, I was upgraded to the family suite. The staff were very nice and friendly to me. It's a perfect location if you need to get around town as the T is right next door. The hotel validated my parking […] claim for the garage which is steps away from the front entrance. All in all, a nice experience. Lees meer

We were assigned for a room on 8th floor - spacious and large bathroom. Some reviews said no coffee maker, etc., but our room had coffee maker, fridge, and microwave. Not so noisy either as it was written on the previous review (stayed from Wed-Sun). Great location. I was a bit worried the way staff answered my call a few days prior to arrival (lack […] of knowledge, info, etc, about hotel), but front desk people were very nice and helpful throughout our stay.

An OK hotel in walkable distnace to Hyne Cinvention Center. Restaurant operated indepentently; no room service and no supper meals.Shower sprays weak. Rating 3 to4 out of 5.

Hi, Stayd at the hotel for 6 nights. The room was nice and clean. Great to have a little refridgerator in the room. Short distance to the trains.. maybe 4 min by foot. Near Newbury and other shopping sites. A really nice an helpful man working at the front desk. Would recommend to others as well as stay there again. Thank you c",) Kind regards S. Amundadottir, […] Iceland Lees meer

the room was clean but very small. Convenient location for downtown Boston

The hotel was a little difficult to find and it reminded me of staying at a hostel because there was a walk through restaurant attached and half of the building is apartments with full time residents. The fitness center has two machines which was not too impressive and the rooms are fairly small, but the price was good. The staff was not very friendly […] and seemed unprofessional at times (texting or talking on their cell consistently), but the neighborhood has some good places to eat. Lees meer

very clean but the room was very small. Liked the restaurant downstairs

Stayed in the room for 3 days with my wife. From reading previous we fully expected a small room which duly delivered. Good points - room cleaniness was good and amenities were good for what we wanted. Room size not a problem as we spent large amount of time sight seeing. Bathroom was satisfactory. Good tv service and free wifi which was very useful. Nice […] cafe on groundfloor. Bad points - insufficient privacy as you can hear all other guests and one disruptive guest who woke up whole floor. Smoke alarm was directly above bed with flashing led all night. This needs to be moved as it is very disruptive. Would like to give this 3.5 as a fairer score for hotel. Lees meer

Although they call themselves a boutique hotel, it is the old YWCA which has been slightly revamped. The rooms were small and cramped but the location was fantastic. For value for money this hotel is worthwhile.

Do not read any other review, Do not try to trick yourself into thinking you can live with a little less for the dollars you might save. This place SUCKS. Sorry no other way to put it. Their "Standard" room includes a BED. No lie, No Desk, No Dresser, No nothing just a bed. The room was 8' wide the BED was 7.5 ft wide, You could not walk around the […] bed to get to teh night stand where the ONLY electrical outlet was. The free wifi is for crap as there is NO WHERE to set up your laptop to work. I had to crawl over the TWIN sized bed to get to thenightstand where the electrical outlet was, andthe clock radio. Oh and There is no insulation in thee walls, so you constantly hear your neighbors bathroom noises, there is no insulation around teh door fso all the hallway light leaks into the room at night and their FIrealarm senson ON THE CEILINg has 2 led lights that flash off and on every minute or so. DO NOT KID YOURSELF DO NOT STAY HERE. Lees meer

For the cost of the room...it's a steal! The location is right smack in the middle of everything and we were able to keep our car in the garage the 2 days we were there. The hotel is comfortable to sleep in, although very minimal; reminded me of a college dorm room. Quite small with little room to move around. However, we knew this ahead of time and […] were prepared. It wasn't a big deal because we only expected to be there 2 days and a place to sleep. No frills for sure! There was an emergency alarm that went off at 1:30 a.m. and we had to call down to discover it was a false alarm. Then we received a knock at the door at 4a.m. for a wake up call we didn't request. We just counted these two incidents as a small inconvenience. We've already recommended Hotel 140 to a couple we met on the road who was looking for what we were....a place to sleep that's affordable in a great location in Boston. Lees meer

We found the hotel personnel to be courteous and friendly. However, they appeared to new on the job and not familiar with local restaurants. Our room could have had a more comfortable chair. We had minor problems with an electrical outlet, the sink stopper and luggage rack. The hotel is located convenient to transportation. On a scale of 1 to 10 overall […] I give it a 6. Lees meer

The room was small, and there was no desk to work at, but if all you are going to do is sleep there, the location is great, short walk to the commons, Newberry street, Hines Convention center, Coply etc. Very clean and quite.
