10/10

Excellent location near Boston University, bars, restaurants, etc and just a few minute walk to Fenway. We had the downstairs suite which was extremely roomy and had a full kitchen. While there was no front desk, the reservation team was responsive, polite and helpful.

I booked their Design Studio Suite. This suite was supposed to have cooking facility including hotplates/stove, dish washer and full size refrigerator with freezer. And area was supposed to be 505 sq feet. We booked specifically such a suite as we are fully vegetarian and planned to cook our own. They put us in a much smaller studio, which had a tiny refrigerator, no freezer, no stove/hotplate, no dining table, no dishwasher. That ruined our whole vacation. Tried to communicate to them this and they totally ignored.
As you can see from photos, tiny refrigerator, no stove/hotplate, no dishwasher, no dining table.

We had problems with registering online and uploading photo ID in advance, and when we arrived the automated door lock wasn't working, so we had to reach out via hotels.com to get the back door code. It was a hassle -- but thankfully they responded promptly (it was during day time, I wouldn't have wanted to deal with this at night) -- but once we got into the unit, it was excellent. Spacious, very comfortable beds and furniture, great shower, clean, convenient to BU and transit. The kitchen was minimally stocked and could have included a few things for cooking (salt/paper, maybe oil/viengar) in addition to the coffee/sugar supplies provided. We really enjoyed out visit and will stay again, with the caveat of knowing to expect a few hassles, given its great location and comfortable amenities.

My daughter and I stayed here for a couple days while she was checking out BU. It’s a great location near the university. Beautiful old building and recently renovated. We contacted the hotel a couple times and they were quick to respond and very friendly. I hope to stay here again in the future.

The apartment was conveniently located near Boston Conservatory of Arts. It was very clean with a nice layout and kitchen.

Stayed in the one bedroom suite with family of 5, it was a perfect stay. Suite was beautifully decorated and bed was as comfortable as my bed at home. Kitchen had everything we needed for dinner in. Close to T and Fenway, area felt very safe and walkable with kids. Utilized parking out back which was convenient. Would definitely stay again when visiting Boston.

We loved the location of the Charlesgate Suites. You're a couple of blocks away from the Kenmore station which is located on the green line for the T which allows you to get to basically an part of Boston. Our family enjoyed the charm of this brownstone home as it felt reflective of Boston's character itself, but the interior has been updated for comfort. If we're to visit Boston again we'd certainly consider staying at Charlesgate Suites again.

6/10

Pros: old school “row house” vibe, right outside of Boston University; felt pretty safe, with lots of food/bars in the area, with transportation and shopping close by too. Cons: very small, noisy, especially on lower floors; limited space to put your things/lacked function in many areas. Needs some maintenance in certain areas.

This is a very updated property. We wanted to be close to Fenway Park.

Except for the lack of an elevator and a little mixup in the door codes, everything works for a comfortable stay
3-night trip

10/10

I traveled to Boston for my youngest sons’s college graduation. I was aware that I was staying on the fourth floor without access to an elevator prior to my visit. That was the only issue I experienced because of my own need for more daily exercise. After I made it to the top floor and opened my door, I was welcomed into the most inviting space I have ever been in during a hotel stay. The layout is perfect. The bathroom is the first door on the right with a separate shower and tub. The kitchen is to the left with a complete set up - refrigerator, range, dishwasher, stocked cabinets, breakfast table and chairs. A small desk with a lamp is directly across from the entrance. And a sofa that pulls out to a bed sits before a television and coffee table. The bed was tucked away on the other side of a wall out of view from the front door, but you could be in bed and watch television with ease as the bed was directly behind the sofa. The use of SPACE and placement of furniture made this suite the most comfortable I’ve ever been in. Any needs I had were communicated through text messages, and a response was consistently received within minutes. I was within walking distance (15 minutes) of Boston University and did not have to call an Uber even once during my stay. I walked to a restaurant for dinner and to the store to pick up a few personal items. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will be checking for vacancies with Charlesgate Suites any time I am visiting Boston.

Absolutely amazing apartment, beds were comfy, everything we could ask for not too far from everything, communicating was spot on. Thank you very much
4-night trip

10/10

We had an excellent stay, it was nice and clean. The location was amazing. The service had some slight hiccups with communication but overall very good and helpful when needed. It did get warm in the room at times because the AC couldn’t stay at a certain temperature consistently, but not to a point where it was uncomfortable. Would definitely recommend and would come back if we ever visit Boston again.

Beautiful property and beautiful and clean room. The king size bed was comfortable as was the queen pull out sofa bed! Communication was via text and email. The only thing I would desire would be to have blackout curtains. Otherwise perfect!
