Some rooms have patios overlooking the courtyard pool.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Boston.
“The Verb Hotel took a down-and-out HoJo property and turned it into Boston’s most radical, retro, rock-and-roll hotel. The style is mid-Century Modern; the theme is music.”

Quirky, Friendly and comfortable hotel with easy access to the rest of the city.
A quirky little hotel which was right next to Fenway Park and had an underground station just minutes away. Staff were friendly. Liked the record player in the room. Would definitely stay again.
Nothing.

Except for location of our room, it was wonderful!
Location, convenience, unique.
Our Room was by an “emergency exit” door that connected to staff areas & it opened & slammed a lot . ( room #133) View was of staff scooters & bicycles & maintenance door, but a strategically place scrub helped.

Our family was visiting Boston for the first time to see The Savanah Bananas play at Fenway Park. We chose The Verb Hote

No complaints!

This is a great place to stay right in the shadow of Fenway park.
The decor was great. The restaurant was also really good. The staff really went out of their way to help.
No vending machine on site. Parking was convenient but expensive.

I highly recommend The Verb hotel for your stay in Boston. We will definitely stay here again!
Friendly staff, record players in every room and an extensive record collection, and fantastic location!
The breakfast was good and convenient, but I would have liked more protein options.

Fun, family friendly hotel
Everyone was very nice. Cool vibe. Loved the record player in the room.
No elevator. Pool was closed.

If you are going to a game, a concert, or you live music, you have to stay here!
Breakfast was better than the regular old powdered eggs and cheap sausage, they had awesome pastries, waffles, smoothies, coffee, and live music!?
Bathroom needed some attention, the bar that holds the handheld was missing hardware and the shower was deficit to operate. I know that sounds funny but it was weird the way you had to change from the hand sprayer to the upper shower head and also wired how to adjust the temperature, no markings or instructions?

The Verb is a vibe!

The hotel itself was such an experience. The records and record player in the room was an unexpected surprise! Proximity to Fenway can’t be beat!
Nothing ! It is a great hotel!

Love The Verb. Will stay there whenever I come back.
This is the coolest place to stay if a rock n roll fan. Or baseball because it’s right at Fenway Park. Neighborhood is vibrant and busy all the time. Felt like home away from home.

Perfect for a short stay and a walk to the museums
Quirky, comfortable and clean. Liked that we were able to store our luggage prior to check in. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Especially the valet (who’s name I forgot to get) who not only called a taxi for us on the morning of our departure but followed up when it seemed like it was taking too long and let us know what was going on.

Definitely a great value
Fun, funky, well located. Record players in each room was a nice touch. Cold brew, water, good options for the coffee machine in the room and other touches were very good.
