Stayed 5 days/4 nights in the Sanctuary Room. The room is a luxurious room, definately more then comfortable for two people. Besides the beautiful queen, there is a second, twin bed, we just ended up using it as a place for our luggage though. It has a small kitchenette with a stove, dishwasher and nice size fridge, the only thing... More

My wife and I stayed here for four nights right after a cruise. We had two City Passes and was very busy seeing the great sites of Boston. This was a very good location for doing that. The breakfasts were great and the people of Gryphon House are really helpful. We would stay here again. Ole J.

Thank you, Ole! We enjoyed having you both with us! I want to thank you for your comments about the Garden room as well. Sometimes people hesitate to book it, because it is our smallest room and located on the basement level, but it does have the same amenities as all our larger upstairs rooms, and is very spacious compared...

We stayed in the Sanctuary Room which was perfect for our needs. It was very quiet and most comfortably appointed. Breakfast was easy and there was a good selection of healthy options. The location was excellent and ideally located near public transport, although we walked a great deal (it's really not that far to the Boston Public Garden, Copley Square,... More

I stayed at the Gryphon House for three nights with my 5-year old son. The Sanctuary room was very spacious and beautifully decorated, the house itself very quaint and cozy and the staff was friendly and very helpful in answering our questions and giving us directions. Breakfast, although not hot, was very varied and delicious. The bowl of fruit on... More

Our family of 4 stayed at Gryphon House for 3 nights in the North Tower room. The room was a great size for four of us to share and still feel like we had space to spread out. It was great to have a little kitchen in the room so that we could keep a few things in the fridge,... More

My daughter and I stayed here this weekend, while on a trip to Boston to visit the college she'll be attending this Fall. Perfect location for us. Located at the eastern end of the BU campus, just across the river from MIT, and only a couple blocks from Fenway Park. The room was very large, very comfortable, and has a... More

My husband and I just returned from a weekend in Boston visiting our daughter, who lives three blocks away from Gryphon House. We had been looking for a comfortable, reasonably priced place to stay nearby and have certainly found it in Gryphon House. The house has been beautifully restored, with period details intact in some of the rooms, and our... More

An elegant retreat that was perfectly located for my trip to Boston. From the time I made my reservation (when the staff member was kind, welcoming, and informative) to when I departed, I felt well-cared for in this beautiful B&B. Like other reviewers, I appreciated the amount of privacy the staff afforded; they inquired as to how I was and... More

Thank you for your kind comments regarding your stay. As others have noted, some people expect more of a traditional type B&B, where the owners live on site and you see them every time you come and go. We try to strike a balance between being available for our guests whenever needed, and offering as much privacy as possible, to... More

Very relaxing environment with a very gracious hostess. For a quick visit to Boston it was a great choice. Very close to Kenmore Square so you could walk and enjoy an evening out without having to drive. It was also nice to have parking that didn't break the bank!
