    Warm, Friendly and Comfortable

    December 06, 2012

    My family stayed at the Bertram Inn in May while we were celebrating my brother’s graduation from Emerson College and our time there was excellent. The breakfasts were delicious and there were cookies and fruit snacks in the common area. The rooms are fantastic as the management has kept true to the early 20th century style furnishing. The beds were comfortable and although each room had a different palette, they were all excellent. All of the staff members were friendly and frequently asked if there was anything they could do to make our stay better. The innkeepers also accommodated the many adjustments we made to our reservation as our guests arrived for the main event. One instance in particular showed how much the Bertram Inn’s patrons love the place – an older couple agreed to switch rooms at an innkeeper’s request and didn’t even ask to be compensated for the change. I especially have to recognize Astrid for taking such good care of us - she even offered a complementary treat when my mother had to change rooms. I would highly recommend The Bertram Inn to anyone coming to the Boston-Brookline area. I’d love to spend time there again in the near future.

    Bertram Inn

    August 12, 2012

    We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed our beautiful room. Loved the assortment of teas and snacks and enjoyed them on the veranda. Breakfast was buffet style. When we had an issue with the loud fan in the bathroom it was fixed before we returned to our room that evening. When I needed to print tickets for our boat ride and aquarium for the next morning, I was graciously allowed into the office to do so. When we had problems with the actual printing, the host from the sister Sewell Inn across the street ran right over and helped us solve our problem. Thank you so much for our lovely stay in your beautiful inn.

    A Pleasant Retreat

    July 18, 2012

    We just returned home from our trip to Boston and were pleasantly surprised to find the Bertram Inn within easy walking distance to Fenway Park. Another unexpected treat was walking to the JFK Birthplace home one morning after our lovely breakfast. Everyone was hospitable and it was so fun to stay in an historic home. We highly recommend!

    The only place we stay in Boston

    July 02, 2012

    We have stayed in Bertram's numerous times over the last few years, and it is always excellent. The location, food, rooms, and the staff are wonderful. Friendly, comfortable, with a great living room/lounge/dining area (which includes a selection of board games and a fireplace) where guests are welcome to hang out. Feels like our home away from home.

    Great bed and breakfast in perfect location

    May 22, 2012

    First time stay at the Bertram Inn. Lovely! Exceptional service, full breakfast, snacks day and night, and a perfect location. One block from a train stop and minutes to downtown Boston. Brookline is a beautiful community. Walk to the Museum of Fine Art and Isabella Gardner Museum. Beds are great and rooms are clean, and decorated beautifully. Will definitely return.

    PERFECT place for a weeding and comfortable stay

    March 02, 2012

    My neice had her wedding at the Bertram House. This was my first experience with a B&B. I will do this again. They treated our entire family with so much care. The rooms were all beautiful and very clean. The breakfast was unbelievable! Definitely home made goodness. Every detail done with grace and charm. My neices wedding was in the main living room area and it was so beautiful, no detail left undone! We couldn't be happier with or stay at the Bertram House and will definitely be back!

    October 26, 2011

    Fine location very near transit and shopping, in a nice area of town. Clean, pleasant, luxurious rooms with very comfortable beds. Copies of New York Times, Boston Globe and other daily newspapers in the living room. Very helpful and pleasant staff. The full breakfast (fresh fruit, granola/cereals, yoghurt, juice and one rather elaborate hot entree daily) is laid out as a buffet. Living room and adjacent enclosed porch areas are very comfortable and ideal spaces to wait for friends, have another coffee (available all day) or just read. It's worth coming back for.

    Rarely have I ever been treated more like Royalty! The room, the entire atmosphere and the terrific service were to die for! I will be returning and telling all my friends!
