There's simply nothing comparable to our luxurious townhouse along the Charles River, abutting the Boston University campus, and just a short walk from some of the city's finest attractions, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Fenway Park, and Copley Square. The large, beautiful rooms, friendly, knowledgeable staff, and extremely high level of service, combine to form a truly delightful experience for all our guests at The Gryphon House Boston! more » « less

I agree with most other posters and their 5 star ratings. I even agree with a 3 star poster who was 'very disappointed' with their stay. They mentioned that there was much street noise and the breakfast isn't something you see at a typical B&B. This is true, however, I guess I don't place those things as high as the... more

The Gryphon House is a beautiful place to stay and located central to all Backbay destinations, as well as the Boston subway system. I stayed three nights with my husband and we loved it. We walked to Fenway Park to see the Red Sox play. We stayed in the Garden Room. It was beautifully decorated and very spacious. It had... more

We stayed at Gryphon House at beginning of April for 5 nights in the North Tower. The room was very spacious and views across Charles river spectacular. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, willing to go out of their way to help. The location was excellent. A few nice restaurants nearby in adjacent streets. Central to Kenmore station.... more

I stayed in the B&B two nights in May 2008. I chose it because of the excellent reviews I had read on tripadvisor.com. To be honest, I have been really disappointed. Here are some pros and cons (in my opinion). Pro: beautiful rooms: large, well decorated, wonderful bathroom. Pro: very friendly staff. Pro: good location (a few meters from the... more

We stayed at the Gryphon House for the 2008 Boston Red Sox home opener. We had walked by on many occasions on the way to other games and decided to give it a try. Very well situated for Fenway or the city. We had the North Tower Suite and loved it. We wish we had booked a couple more nights... more

This place is a gem!! We stayed there for 3 nights and wish we would have stayed longer. We stayed in the Morningside suite and it was exceptionally clean and well-decorated. The front desk staff are the best I have ever had the pleasure to meet. The location is perfect, right near BU , a shopping heaven called Newbury Street,... more

Stayed at the Gryphon House with my wife and two year old son and highly recommend this charming, well-run B&B. We stayed three nights in the Morningside room, and it was huge- probably about 500-600 square feet of space. The street noise is not nearly as bad as it seems in some of the other posts. If you require absolute... more

Gryphon house was a lovely respite during a hectic, last minute trip to Boston. I felt relaxed the minute I entered into the lovely parlor and felt the warmth of the blazing fireplace. The staff were incredibly friendly. The rooms were spacious and charming. Overall, I had a wonderful, restful stay. more

The Gryphon House is a charming place to stay in Boston and is very convenient. My husband and I stayed in the Sanctuary room and felt that the room and the hospitality were very good. The owner gave good restaurant recommendations. We stayed 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. more

Stayed here for three nights. The room was lovely - spacious (bed, sitting area, dining table, large bathroom), clean, nicely decorated. As others have noted, the breakfast is not quite up to B and B standards. It is more of a contental fare (fruit, cereal, breads, coffee). I learned that the property does not have a license to cook. Overall... more
