Hotel Ivy Boston Common is favored for its central location near Boston Common, making it easy to walk to downtown and other attractions, with convenient access to public transportation and a parking garage across the street. Many guests find the rooms surprisingly spacious, with some noting the bathrooms as big and the availability of amenities; plus, free coffee is available at the front desk. While some found the soundproofing not ideal, its value and proximity to diverse dining options, including The Friendly Toast for breakfast and Chinatown, make it a charming base for exploring Boston.

The location provided excellent access to public transportation and I could easily walk to various attractions. The staff stored luggage both before check-in and after check-out, convenient. I occupied a queen room. It included a comfy bed and many pillows.
I noted that the soundproofing was not great, as I could hear noises from the lobby on the first floor.
