    Great place to stay

    April 05, 2013

    From when we walked upstairs to when we left thr whole experience was great. Spacious bedroom with great decor and livingroom and kitchenette were better than expected. Customer service was top notch and they are only 100 yards up the road if anything needs doing. View was great from roofdeck and bbq is supplied for residents. On leaving the excellant manager of The Inn on botolph street took in our bags on our checkout morning and offered us use of there facilities while we waited to depart boston later than afternoon. I would recommend this to anyone bringing kids as there is a great playpark and amenities within 5 minutes walk. I will be rebooking for the new year

    Private Apartment close to Hynes Convention Center

    March 15, 2013

    I stayed at The Christopher during a conference at the Hynes Convention Center. Note that this is not a typical B&B. It's more like renting a furnished apartment. The entrance is hard to find (which I think is good-- safer). You must walk up 1, 2, or 3 flights of stairs to reach your room-- no elevators-- so pack light. There's not really "breakfast"-- just a box of dried goods-- but there's a nice little convenience store across the street and a wine store right down stairs. The rooms are great-- spacious, light, and with fireplaces! I wanted to stay in my room the whole time I was in Boston, but I had to go to the convention. It is only 3 short blocks from the Prudential Center, which you can walk through to get to Hynes-- about a 10 minute walk. For a huge private apartment it was a much better deal than staying at the conference hotel. I would stay there again and recommend it to others.

    Great place to stay

    September 16, 2012

    Stayed for two nights. A great location in the Back Bay area. Walking distance to to some restaurants, the T, and the Boston Commons where we caught the City Trolley tourist trolley to jump on and off throughout the area. The trip up to the rooftop on the fire escape was a bit scary, but worth it to see the view. Lovely little rooftop dinning area. We didn't use the cooking facilities in our room, but could have. We saw another couple dining on spaghetti and wine that they had made in their room. Room was very clean and pleasant.

    No breakfast here.

    July 23, 2011

    The Christopher was nice enough- The bonus is the rooftop deck. The room was clean. The air conditioner was not on we had to call to have it turned on, even though they knew we were coming in. Also the "breakfast" basket left a lot to be desired. 2 8oz bottles of water; one crumpled cereal bar; 2 packets of oatmeal; 2 small juice boxes. Oatmeal in July??? For what we paid they should have fresh muffins in the rooms and larger bottles of water. The area was beautiful, not sure if I'd stay there again.

    A fine experience

    June 16, 2011

    The Christopher is a great alternative to the blandness of standard hotels. Individual, comfortable, clean and quiet. Pleasant neighbourhood. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I only stayed one night, but if I ever make it back to Boston, that's where I'll stay.

    A wonderful Boston lodging alternative

    May 13, 2011

    I've stayed in many hotels and many B&B's, and both of those categories have their advantages, but the Christopher is in a new category for me: a studio apartment. It provided a great experience and great value. The South End was looking glorious, and we had our own kitchenette, comfortable bed, complimentary wi-fi, and a large flat-screen TV with actual high-definiton broadcasts--as far as I can recall, the only such up-to-date television service in my lodging rental experience (lots of places have the hardware, but they don't pay for high-def service, and most annoyingly, they lock you into watching a stretched standard-def picture, with no option to change the aspect ratio). All this was in an immaculate room. I don't want my remarks above to imply that we spent our time watching TV. We had a great time out and about in our favorite city, and got to explore a neighborhood where I'd never spent any significant time (when I lived in or very close to Boston, the South End was a long way from being the very chic district that it has become). We had occasion to call the management a couple of times, including to arrange for early check-in, and found them very responsive and helpful. If you can walk up a couple of flights of stairs and you don't require breakfast as part of the room rate, this is an outstanding option. We will very likely return.
