What guests think

Found Hotel Boston Common draws praise for its central, walkable location and friendly front desk, but the compact rooms, thin walls, and aging infrastructure mean comfort can vary, especially for light sleepers or travelers expecting full-service amenities.

Many guests find it a simple, budget-friendly base with free lobby coffee, luggage storage, and discounted parking nearby. Common tradeoffs include very small room layouts with limited storage, audible street and hallway noise, and loud AC or elevator sounds, with occasional Wi-Fi issues. Cleanliness feedback ranges from generally clean to reports of missed housekeeping or pests. Expect a no-frills stay suited to travelers prioritizing price and access over space and amenities.

Overall really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The check-in process was easy and the front desk worker was helpful, though they’re only available until 11 pm. The hallways can get noisy and be audible from the rooms, so if noise bothers you, I’d recommend bringing a pair of earplugs. They provide free coffee and tea in the lobby. The stay was great and I would come back again.

It’s a 2 minute walk to the Boston common and garden. What I must say is the elevator is really loud at night if you’re close to it. The staff here is super kind. The beds are kind of small, but everything is clean and comfortable. With a private shower and a common area on the basement floor. However there’s no breakfast but you have coffee and tea between 7am-12am. The location isn’t far from most attractions. Would definitely come back some day!

Clean room and property in a great location for much less than nearby hotels, and the discounted parking across the street made it an even better deal. The front desk folks were super helpful, polite, and efficient. If you’re looking for a comfortable room at a reasonable price and would rather not pay for amenities you likely won’t use anyway, the Found is a strong contender.

We stayed one night just to sleep before an early morning flight. The location is super convenient — right in the heart of Boston. They offer parking validation for the garage across the street, which gives you a discounted rate for 24 hours. We used the curb out front as a drop-off area, which made unloading luggage easy while my husband parked the car. The hotel and elevator are definitely on the older side. It served its purpose for a quick and easy overnight stay.

The location is super convenient—right in the city center and very close to the subway station. The staff are friendly, and they offer free luggage storage both before check-in and after check-out. As for the facilities, the rooms have keypad locks, so you don’t need to bring your own lock. On the first floor, there’s free hot water and a coffee machine for making coffee and tea. The basement has a small dining area with disposable utensils, but it only fits about five or six people. There’s no microwave or fridge, and you rarely run into anyone there, so it’s not really a social space.

Do not recommend staying here if checking in on the later side. We were supposed to check in at 2am and called ahead and when we got there we were locked out and the night desk associate was asleep. When we got in our room there was floss and a dirty tissue next to our bed and everything was dusty. Would not recommend if you are a clean freak.

Granted the build was old, built in the mid 1800’s. The elevator was a bit small. Our room was was on the smaller side but it was great. We were only there to sleep. Now the 3 young men that worked the front desk were great. Check in went very smoothly and was quick. They also helped with parking and pointed the way to the “t” that was the closest. I cannot give these guys enough credit and praise. Will most definitely try to stay here again if we ever go back to Boston.

We were bitten by something and later found a dead bug on the wall that looked like a bed bug. As a precaution, we moved to a slightly bigger room, but I’m not sure if the bites have stopped. To avoid being bitten again, I slept fully dressed. We also had to pack all our belongings into bags to prevent the infestation from spreading to the car. This involved a lot of hot washing and expensive dry cleaning for all our clothes. It’s definitely not the kind of experience you’d expect, especially given the price. The hotel’s solution was to move us to a different room and release the deposit. I’m not sure how that was supposed to compensate for all the stress and the significant cleaning expenses we incurred.

Stayed here for the second time. The hotel is located very central, close to the park and Chinatown. The room was very small and not clean at all. I found old clothes from a previous guest lodged between the bed and the wall, dust and dirt in every area which wasn’t easily reachable and hair and dirt in the shower. The shower gel wasn’t refilled either. I brought this up with the reception where they apologised and told me someone would clean up yet no-one did anything during my 2 night stay. For the price they charge I would at least expect them to have clean rooms.

Location is the highlight. If you book early it's one of the best deals in the area for a location that is walkable for the entire historic district. Front desk staff was lovely, friendly, intelligent, gave great restaurant recommendations. Room was on the first level next to the door that accessed the dormitory room, so hallway noise was very high with the door opening and clicking shut all night. Also a fair degree of city noise. Bathroom was modern and clean, bed was not very comfortable. Have free coffee and a little seating area downstairs.

Our AC was broke and instead of putting us in a new room we had a milk jug and tube taped to our wall to allow for condensation to drain. On top of this maintenance just walked in unannounced while two guests were still sleeping. Aside from these instances, the young front desk workers were pleasant and took to our concerns immediately, especially about the unannounced walk in.

Close to everything walking distance. We REALLY appreciated the parking at a discount too. It was easy to find, easy to exit, full of empty space ! The room was fine. Right enough space to do what you need to do in a room. The bed was a bit soft, the AC made a bit of weird noise and at around 2 AM when we got back there was some people partying loudly on the side of the hotel. We could hear it very loudly in oir room. It wasn't the absolute worst but if you're a light sleeper that would have been annoying. We would absolutely go back ! Grrat price for the location!

I can’t remember the daytime person, but I believe her name was“Kendall“ (sorry I don’t remember your Name), Was very helpful and getting started on our walk the next day. The hotel stored our luggage while we walked around Boston all day. It’s close by, walking distance, from the Boston common.
