Fernando PaternostroApril 6, 2017Watch for the credit card holding, they say its 200 but its actually 1200 dollars. The staff is undertrained and overall experience not good. Dont recommend this hotel :(
Complimentary glass of champagne at check-in and great restaurants on site and several in walking distance. Be sure to get a "tower" room if you like it quiet.
ZZubinJanuary 18, 2017If ur looking for something different and a little more action, this is a good option in a good location. Does it stack up to the Ritz, Four Seasons, etc? Not so sure, but the prices do.- Ted PalenskiJanuary 7, 2017Beautiful space, wonderful history. Quiet, comfortable stay with a few nice perks!
Laurie BennettNovember 6, 2016Really well executed concept, and comfy rooms, brilliant restaurant to boot.
Marty KatzNovember 5, 2016Ate at scampo. Was not as good as I'm used too. Seems like everything was premade. Ordered the duck. 3 minutes later, no exaggeration I had the duck. Not what I expect from a quality resturant.
My goto hotel when in Boston. They have you covered the second you walk in.
Zachary RandFebruary 1, 2016One of my favorite hotels. Clean, comfortable, classy. Perfect location to jump on the Red Line or hit up Beacon Hill.
I love this hotel. Lots of things going on on most nights. Usually Champagne at check in.
MarialexandraSeptember 3, 2015It was nice & the attention was ok but the beds were uncomfortable & our toilet was broken & we had to fix it ourselves.
Leland BrewsterJuly 15, 2015Fantastic location and incredible lobby but the rooms are starting to show their age.
Old jail that became a hotel, the bar is popular and scampo restaurant located downstair is pretty good as well. Well located, close to boston downtown and cambridge, red line subway station in front.
KathleenMarch 15, 2015Hot damn what a sexy lobby! Gets packed at night. Nice quiet place to chill during the day.
- Phil TorontoDecember 5, 2014My favorite place to stay in Boston. Friendly staff, cozy rooms and tons of interesting history from its days as the Charles Street Jail.
KatherineNovember 30, 2014Alibi is great especially in the summer, but clink is fun just for all the events they have (fashion show on Thursdays and yappy hour for dogs on Wednesdays in the summer) - also great rooms and view
The Liberty Hotel has amazing history! The main lobby is beautiful with its high ceiling and window treatments. It's the perfect environment for a dirty martini from The Liberty Bar.
Complimentary flute of champagne when you check in? Yes please! Nice!
The rooms are just rooms if you're staying in the tower.
Alex RainertAugust 23, 2014This used to be a jail so the architecture is super rad. The atmosphere is modern without feeling too cool for school. Hotel bar in the middle lets you really appreciate this Shawshank turned hotel.
Shreya ChaudhariAugust 19, 2014Very nice hotel which was a jail which was made into a classy hotel! The restaurant scampo is very nice I highly recommend it!
Thierno Souleymane Beavogui KomaAugust 9, 2014Go to the blonde bartender in the back she is really nice. The other one had no concept of customer service.
Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014Go directly to jail. More specifically, The Liberty Hotel in the former Charles Street Jail—onetime home of Malcolm X, Sacco and Vanzetti, and a few Nazi POWs. Read more
Philip MAugust 2, 2014Nice place BUT the waiters are assholes and the music is terrible. And of course the beer is over 10 bucks. Make your choice !
Boston PhoenixJuly 18, 2014Bartenders here craft herbs, exotic liqueurs, and even pickles into concoctions that are unforgettable, no matter how many you guzzle. Sit back, drink in hand, and watch the beautiful people. Read more
Shanna CushnieJuly 18, 2014Went to MBA event and this place is 5🌟. Would definitely get a cocktail at the bar after work. Service phenomenal.
Fantastic customer service -- and a weekend Bloody Mary bar that can't be beat.
Daniel McDonoughJuly 6, 2014Chorizo and corn quesadilla and scrambled eggs with pico de gallo is delicious.- Daniel McDonoughJuly 5, 2014The hotel is an old jail! If that's not reason enough to stay here you're crazy.
- Emilio CMay 27, 2014Beautiful hotel with great views of the city. The Esplanade is accessible right outside the entrance. The hotel also has free bike rentals with helmets.
