The Gryphon House

Absolutely a great place to stay! Great location on a beautiful street, with quick walk to subway station. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Started each day with a very nice continental breakfast. Took in a Red Sox game, 10 minute walk to Fenway.

My husband and I stayed at The Gryphon House for our honeymoon trip. It was fantastic!
Let’s start with the location. The B&B is super close to the T, Fenway, and shops on Newbury street. It was a safe neighborhood and we had no problem walking around after dinner.
The accommodations were so nice! At first we stayed in the Tuscany room and then switched to Morningside (we booked late and this was the only way to accommodate our longer stay). Both rooms were extremely clean, comfy, and welcoming. So much that my husband and I are even wanting to know where we can buy those sheets for our own bed!
An assortment of breakfast goodies were available for us in the morning and I was extremely excited to see how many choices of tea they had. Nothing better than relaxing in the Morningside tub with a cup of tea! :)
Lastly, the staff was amazing. They always greeted us with smiling faces and helped us out when we needed directions or advice.
Next time we are in Boston, we will definitely be returning to Gryphon House. We already miss it!

Heart of back bay, surrounded by food, walking distance to Fenway. The rooms are comfortable cozy and quiet.
Great place to get away while staying in the thick of things. Can’t wait to come back.

This B&B was amazing! We were here in September of 2012 and loved every minute. It’s really close to the T and walking distance to many great venues. The staff were so incredibly helpful and gave us many great tips about the city. The hotel is spectacular! We stayed in the Tower. Perfect for a little separation. You will love it here. it’s beautiful!

A cute B&B with unique rooms and a good location a block from the River near the Kenmore T stop, Commonwealth Ave, Fenway, etc. Service is warm and friendly. Even though our room was in the basement (The Sanctuary), it had windows facing the street and turned out to be comfortable and cozy, what with the stove fireplace, medieval garden-​themed décor, and comfortable bedding. Breakfast is simple (toast, yogurts, cereals), and you can make tea or coffee in your room at any time. All the amenities of a big hotel (flat screen TVs, DVD players, free wireless Internet) with a personal touch.

great bed and breakfast, gorgeous home and great location –

i am tempted to give them 5 stars, but since they are not a pet-​friendly hotel, i cannot.
since my last visit to boston was without the boyfriend and dog, i choose the gryphon house. it was great! the people were great answering all my questions before i arrived. i stayed in the morningside room. i wish i could live here! the bathroom had a great separate tub from the shower. perfect bubble bath tub!
the continential breakfast was tasty, and there is a computer in the sitting room for guests to use. the parking in the rear was only $ 15 a night which is great for boston! also, there are zip cars in the back if you don’t want to rent a car for whole visit.
i loved being in the kenmore square area. it is a very convenient location.
i would absolutely stay here again if i visit without my dog, charlie brown.

Ditto on the wonderful reviews of this inn. It’s located amidst Boston University and near Fenway Park in a quaint house a few blocks from Kenmore Square (so it’s easily accessible to public transport – whether the T (green line) or bus). My spotless room consisted of a kitchenette (sink, counters, coffee maker, small dining table, and fridge – no stove range), a large bathroom with a separate bath and shower, a parlor with satellite tv (there is also a large selection of DVDs downstairs), chair, couch, and coffee table, and a queen-​sized bed. The decoration was Victorian. A small breakfast is available in the morning. The management is fantastic – very responsive to guests’ questions and wishes, and they can provide great directions to help you navigate the city.

I was put up at the Gryphon House when I interviewed for my job here in Boston, and I have to say that I was beyond impressed. The room I had was the Tuscany room, and it was easily the most amazing hotel experience I’ve ever had. Of course, this is coming from the guy who has, previously, slept on the floor of a room full of other people to save money… maybe I’m easily wowed.
The bathroom was amazing… jet tub separate from the huge, glass shower. Fireplace in the room that you control. The best bed I’ve had at a hotel. Breakfast was continental… bagels, muffins, cereal, yogurt, fruit, coffee/​tea. Oh, free coffee and tea anytime in the lobby. I loved the feel of staying in a very old house, and not in a Holiday Inn (which we have stayed in several times here in Boston).
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a completely relaxing stay away from home. I have no clue as to the price, as I did not pay for the stay, but can easily vouch for the amenities and service.

The Gryphon House oozes charm but not in a cutesy, pretentious way. It’s an original gem, and is entirely warm and inviting. It’s not impersonal like a Marriott and it’s not over the top luxury like the nearby Hotel Commonwealth. It’s a classic townhouse with unique rooms, parking in the back (yeah!) and a fantastic location, especially if you are involved with BU or off to see the Red Sox. No elevator so you do need to lug your bags up a flight or two or stairs, which was a lot easier for me when I was in my 20’s. The rooms range in price. Some are big, with sleeping alcoves and kitchenettes. Some have spacious livingrooms. We were so comfortable I considered moving in so they’d eventually adopt me. I’ve tried to get a room there again, but it has always been booked up. Stay away from those big Westins and Hyatts and try the Gryphon House. It’s a little jewel.
