“Nice european style hotel, a few problems but still an excellent bargain!”

Columbus, Ohio

We love the Kimpton Hotels and, while this was not our favorite, it is a very nice little hotel. The rooms are on the small side. On the plus side, the location is quiet but is within convenient walking distance to all the major downtown attractions. The staff, as always for Kimpton, was very helpful and friendly. The beds at... more

1/1 found this review helpful

For a four star hotel the Onyx really missed the mark. We arrived on Friday afternoon, we entered the hotel and the check in area was non existent. People were trying to check in/out and the entire area was congested with people and luggage. A complete mess. If they hadn't built a semi-circular sitting area in the front entrance way... more

Stayed at the Onyx for four nights after a 6 night hetic stay in New York and the relaxed friendly atmosphere was exactly what was needed! The wine hour between 5 & 6 is worth taking advantage of, a free cold glass of wine after a day sightseeing is a must. The hotel is in no more than 10 minutes... more

“Great Hotel!”

Great place to stay in Boston. Next to the Garden and <5 min walk to the North subway station. Friendly service! Nice linens, comfortable size rooms, free wine from 5-6pm in the lobby, Aveda products. Would have given this hotel an "excellent" rating but be warned of the loud banging noise if staying next to the electric room. Almost sounded... more

“Really nice hotel”

We stayed at the Onyx twice in a fortnight at each end of a tour of New England, having stayed at Kimpton hotels before. These stays were as expected, nice room and very good service from all the staff we encountered. Location is fantastic for the centre of Boston either if you want to walk or get a cab. Couldn't... more

“Onyx - another Boston winner!”

Four of us stayed at the Onyx the night of the NBA Finals in the penthouse. We believe the Onyx, the Onyx staff and the Celtics to be winners. Onyx staff emailed us before our arrival and asked if we had any requests for our visit. I emailed them a short list, including a couple specific items. Upon our arrival,... more

Stayed one night. Found the hotel typical of Kimptons hotels, meaning very nice. Something I wish I knew about before I booked is that they have kayaks and bicycles for use by guests. Close to subway. Found the restaurant food alright, service was good. more

Dear jersb, Thank you for your review of your recent stay. I believe that you stayed at our sister property in Cambridge, the Hotel Marlowe. At the Marlowe we do offer guests kayaks and bicycles for day use along the Charles River. I have spoken to our manager and we agree that we should let guests know about this when...

As a 1st time visitor to Boston, the Onyx was a great place to stay. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished. The linens and towels were soft and comfortable (which is not a common occurrence in most other hotels). The wine/beer hour was a nice treat at the end of a long... more

This is the second Kimpton hotel I've stayed in while visiting Boston. As expected, the hotel delivers on its promises. Beautifully appointed rooms, exceptional guest and service staff, and wonderful location in terms of proximity to transportation and area attractions (Beacon Hill, TD Banknorth Garden Stadium, the Back Bay, and Faneuil Hall are all within walking distance). However, the room... more

Stayed at this hotel in March. Usually stay at another hotel in Boston, but was prompted to stay here by a traveling companion. What a great surprise. Room was very nice, great staff, good location close to the North End. Only negative - area is a little sketchy at night. more
