Spent our first Valentines day together, and everything about the hotel went perfectly. Even had them do the rose pedal turn down while we were at dinner. Reserved a king bed suite with the fireplace and soaking/whirlpool tub which added to the enjoyable view and setting sun. The couch could have been a little more comfortable but we found out it was a sleeper sofa so that makes sense. I didnt know they had a valet service so we parked close by (which worked out in any case). Definitely become a preferred member because it allowed us to have a later than normal checkout

We stayed at XV Beacon for New Years Eve. Our room was like staying at a Beacon Hill studio complete with fireplace and flawless accommodations. We were welcomed with a plate of fresh fruit and mini cakes and chocolates in the room. We watched the Boston Commons fireworks from the rooftop deck and were then served flutes of champagne and given party hats. Later we ate at Mooo which was superb and had one of our finest steak dinners. Later we went to celebrate NYE at a Boston hotel. Our entire stay was highlighted by your employee Myriam Jaber. From the reservation initially to checkout she provided the highest degree of warmth and caring for her valued guests. You have a tremendous asset with her at the front desk. Her experience shines through. As the prior owner of Ocean Edge Resort, you have a winning combination of a 5 star hotel accompanied by 5 star staff.

This stay will be hard to top! It's been some time since we have been so impressed with a hotel. The service was impeccable from arrival. All staff were incredibly professional and friendly. The room was beautiful with attention paid to every detail. We took advantage of the car service drop off to our dinner reservation. Gazi was a wonderful driver and ended up being available to pick us up as well. The location is central & the area is walkable. Thanks for making our birthdays getaway wonderful.

One of the Best Hotel Experiences I’ve Ever Had This was truly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and the room delivered everything you’d expect from a true five‑star property—beautifully designed, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. If you’re looking to splurge a little and treat yourself, this is absolutely the place to do it. Every detail feels elevated, and the overall experience makes it easy to relax, unwind, and feel completely taken care of.

Absolutely excellent location, especially if you plan to walk to most places in Boston. The staff here is excellent and really accommodating. Not only that, they are friendly and seem to want to engage with you and give you the best experience possible. The hotel itself is nicely appointed with cute and cozy decor. Our room was incredibly clean and comfortable. I loved the shower with it's pressure and abundance of hot water. The restaurant Mooo is excellent. We ordered room service and had breakfast there a few times. Not only was the food great, but the service was first class. I highly recommend this hotel and will be staying again when in Boston.
