I was looking for a quiet retreat between business assignments, with the authentic welcome and conviviality of a B&B, in my favorite part of Boston. "Encore" met all of these requirements. The Inn Keepers did everything possible to make me feel at home, and the communal breakfast table provided friendly and stimulating conversation, along with an "artisanal" continental breakfast.

An elegant and tastefully decorated B&B, only two blocks from the Pru. The South End is a wonderful, close-in neighborhood within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions in any direction you choose to go. Reinhold's carefully chosen, satisfying breakfasts and sincere hospitality, along with the congeniality of fellow travelers, contributed to a really wonderful stay in Boston. I... More

I stayed at the Encore for the Boston Marathon this year, and it was lovely. The Albee Room was aesthetically inviting, calming and tastefully furnished. I needed a place where I could hunker down and relax prior to the race, and this fit the bill perfectly. Reinhold is a pleasure...so helpful, gracious and accommodating. His breakfasts were wonderful, with excellent... More

Dear Maggie. Thank you for such a kind review. Part of your kudos needs to go to Flour's where I shop every morning for fresh baked goods. The Shiraz you left for me was a delight. Just wish that the Marathon would haave been ysterday with tmeperatures in the ipper 50ties. But in NE you never know what to expect. More

Our stay in Boston could not have been more welcoming, we were there in March of 2009 (ignore the date mentioned by tripadvisor). The rooms were immacuatley cleaned and impecabbly furnished and decorated. The owners were always helpful, giving us tips for some great eats and sites and even offered up their yearly museum passes for us to use for... More

We stayed three nights at Encore while visiting our daughter who is an NEC student. The location was perfect - near NEC and Symphony Hall and convenient to the T. The house is lovely, the hosts welcoming, the room comfortable, and the breakfast delightful. Thanks! More

I stayed two nights at Encore in the Bernstein. The room was very nice (the linen is very soft!) and the decoration is a very nice touch. It's great to stay in a house that seems typically bostonian. The breakfast was great, all fresh and natural, a positive aspect of my stay. Reinhold was very welcoming and helpful. He gave... More
